2jz

[blackslide]

hey i'm thinking bout pullin out my SR and droppin in a 2JZ anybody know anyone with one and what they think of it.

[OutToWinPAHC]

try the hybrid section, there a few topics on that right now.

[bt2s14]

What?

[240sxautox]

two guys in my area have them. One is up for sale/parting out I believe- it was 700 some odd wheel horsepower, the other was 570 (in the post im going to show you it was right after it was done ~370hp) or something along those lines. Very nice motors, and I'm sure once the price comes down on mounts and all the other fab work it'll be a great swap- since it's extremely easy to find parts for being that it was sold in the US.

But why take all the money to do that when you could fully rebuild your SR and build it with full race internals?

[newfengshui]

because i've seen a stock 2jz block at 800 hp, that's why he shouldn't build his sr internals.

especially when rods and pistons cost more than the engine.

[240sxautox]

woo 800hp yeah that's fun to say you have. But how many typical 240sx drivers would use 800hp? I know I wouldn't, not even on road atlanta or roebling road. At the drag strip- if I could get its feet planted then yeah.

I'd personally rather do a LSx swap than a 2JZ swap for the time being- shops are charging an arm and a leg for the swap.

Unless you're planning to do it yourself- then I just say goodluck with the wiring. That sh** baffles me.

[newfengshui]

oh i totally agree, ls > 2jz.

2jz may be sold in america, but they're ****ing expensive as hell. ls1 can be found in a super cheap car, and it's got a ton of power.

truth be told, i want a CA but the after market support seems small, they're old, and i don't know how easy replacement parts can be found.

Video of the dyno for 700hp. All I can say is damn, and lol @ the stock se rims on it.

His name is Mike he works for Batlground Engineering now- if you're really interested in that swap you should shoot him an e-mail and ask how it was for him and all that. I'm sure he could give you some good info on it.

[surfer240sx]

holy sh**

[240sxautox]

haha yeah, that car was pretty nuts- it's been/being parted out.

i say 800hp is way to much for a 240 but thats just me i think around 350 -400 is a perfect place for a 240 but thats just me

[newfengshui]

that dvd i linked to, listed the 2jz swap costing 10k.

=D

have fun!

[cmfireman]

I'm not saying the 2jz isn't fast by any means, but if you look at most 800+ whp Supras, they're dyno queens.

Basically what I'm saying is that the 2jz is known for making most of it's power up top, so the only time you really get the full potential is on a longass straight at 100+ mph.

I would imagine that if you put a 500whp KA, SR, or LS1 against an 800whp 2jz on a track, or on a 1/4 mile strip, that the former would be a better performing vehicle.

[newfengshui]

what about a CA?!

DUN DUN DUNNNN

some of those people at BATLGROUND arent very friendly..

[blackieblack]

^ agree. i would do an ls1 before a 2j. 2j is over rated. and if the rb26 had more us support i would go with that over the 2j by far.

How is the 2j overrated? It is a very stout motor, good power, toyota reliability, endless power potential. Not seeing the overrated part.....

[newfengshui]

the only thing i can see wrong with it is the price

[Drunkendonuts]

Sure it is spendy as hell, but so is a rb26 swap, if your thinking about it, more then likely the price has already been thought about, and if your just dreaming about it, no use in really talking about it.

yeah that's why they are so slow at the dragstrip in heavy Supras.Reality check.Oh and much laughter at people trying to say there is such a thing as too much power.

Obviously you have no idea what you are talking about. http://video.google.com/videop...83716Dyno queens? Gimme a break...

[newfengshui]

besides that explosion at the end, that video was a definition of a dyno queen.

[kornaz]

Explosion? The mani didn't hold that much power. Jeez... Of course this setup for testing, but gimme a break with a dyno queen sh1t. You must love ls's?

[240sxautox]

some of those people at BATLGROUND arent very friendly..

sadly, you are correct- I noticed that as well. When I was first about to start my swap I was checking shops prices just to compare it to doing it myself, and I wasn't very impressed, at all. I do like Tophat though, Mikes a real professional and informative guy. I'm actually hauling my 240 downt here so he can finish my wiring, redo my intercooler piping and install my e-manage.

sorry for the threadjack.

if you don't want it to be called a dyno queen, then don't post a video where the ****ing hood can't even be closed over the turbo.

[themadscientist]

yeah that car was a dyno queen but the J is not a show motor, it brings the goods. It was fun watching that goof jump back though.

[newfengshui]

i agree.

Dyno Queen

Like I said, I'm not saying the 2jz isn't capable of being fast, I'm not saying it isn't reliable, and I'm not saying it isn't a good engine, but most everyday Joe's that are bragging about their 800hp Supras would get shattered by a properly tuned car that made the power across a broader range.
