At this time I am not too worried about the weight balance, I just want to get the swap done. After the car actually runs like I will look in the balancing the weight if there is an issue. And as for the 2jz joke thread pic.. this is a serious build thread with actual progress. I hope this thrad does not turn in to a joke.CJRocker wrote:Out of interest, how are you gonna manage the change in weight distribution? I figure the 2JZ-G(T)E has to weigh a substantial amount more than the KA24DE, as I believe a KA24DE weighs similar to a Toyota 4Axx, which is a common "swap out" for these 2JZs (Even though I've only ever seen one completed) Granted the 240SX 'vert weighs a fair bit more than the Corolla, so that may help the balance a fair bit. Anyway, good luck (also, I'm amazed this has gone this far without the 2JZ swap/2JZ swap w/NAS picture)

I hope it doesn't turn into a joke either But if the KA24DE weighs about 370 based on one thread here, and some skimming of google found the 2JZ weighs somewhere between 550-600. So enough I'm really interested to see how you tune your suspension and balance the car. Also, any new pics?

Re: (Phan)
I just got the mounting kit today and will have pics. Now the bad... I might be trading the Vert for a coupe. I figured since I am building a track car now I should get a car with a roof. But we will see if it happens.CJRocker wrote:I hope it doesn't turn into a joke either But if the KA24DE weighs about 370 based on one thread here, and some skimming of google found the 2JZ weighs somewhere between 550-600.

Re: (BorHor)
If you're serious about racing it, you really are better off with a coupe. Better rigidity, less weight. Keep the vert though and rebuild the KA-SBorHor wrote: Now the bad... I might be trading the Vert for a coupe. I figured since I am building a track car now I should get a car with a roof.
