What about a 2jz??

[TLVespasian]

No Im not plannin on doin this but has anyone swapped a 2 or 1jzgtte into a z32?? I think that coud be a viable alternative to the ever contriversial rb26 swapp. Yeah it would be a bastard but I think it would be flippin hott!!

[evildky]

toy power is soo wrong but I knows it's been done in early Z's, saw a car run a low 10 second 1/4 mile pass on street tires! the benefit is they cost half what an RB costs, but in a Z32 it's easier to get the same power form the stock TT engine

[nsrZ32]

I've seen it done. But why not stick with the VG30DETT?

[TLVespasian]

caus it would be easier to work on in the long run....yeah, yeah I know by time you spend the money on mounts and such you coulda built up the VG but.....

[nsrZ32]

IMO Nissan engines belong in Nissan's just like Chevy engines belong in Chevy's and honda motors in honda's and so on.

Spending tons of money to be different and have a 2jz in a Z32 when you could be just as fast for less doesn't make sense to me.

i also want to do an engine swap down the line (especially since i got a VG30de) but most resources say just to stick with the vg30deTT since you know you'll have no problems and have the option of a warranty... they also say that it is reliably capable of 900+ HP... dunno if its true but i've seen some gnarly things done to those motors.

[NSR_s30]

I've seen SR20s in Z32's....but why?

caus it would be easier to work on in the long run....yeah, yeah I know by time you spend the money on mounts and such you coulda built up the VG but.....

Easier to work on? If you don't want to work on it take it to the dealer...

[ph]

I've seen SR20s......

Bang for the buck, 2JZ is a great swap. Forget all about brand loyalty.....

[evildky]

the 2JZ is a real bargin, but makes a better swap into an S30

[300zx_tt]

why not jsut drop in a porsche 911 turbo in there, you ownt have anythign else to worry about

[tg]

ghey.

[FoxFire]

go chevy 400 sbc and throw that in it with a twin turbo setup w/ a sfmc

stroke it to a 383 after punching the 400 to a 408 w/ 6" forged con rods

rev king v8

but if it was mine then i would single turbo gt45r turbo

youll never need more then 400hp for anything driving on the street

anymore then 400whp youll be spinning in 3rd and spinning into trees

[nsrZ32]

^ lol

The advice some people give amuses me

[hannibal]

^^ Post of the week!

Wheres my calculator???

[FoxFire]

you like that one eh ^

i co own a 91 rx7 with a 408 sbc @6 psi b & m blower

that why i recommend it

6 in rods in it will put it at a 383 but not a 350, 383but a 9k rev limit v8 383

in a 4600lb car it ran a 11.78 w/ the a/c on with 9 inch street tires @ 6psi0-60 mph in 3.5 flat

bring it on ill smash a 911 turbo with a pair of slicks

I think the point is that your suggestion to stroke a 400 sbc to 383, is uh impossible, if you increase the stroke your increase the displacement therefore you'd have more than the 383 cubes, the typical 383 stroker uses the longer 400sbc crank in a clearnaced 350 sbc block with whatever overbore to bring the total displacament to 383, longer rods do not change your displacement, they only change your rod stroke angle, and require you to use different piston to accomidate the changed pin height, and you can bore a 400 to 408, or you can stroke it to whatever, but it can't displace 4.8 and 383, it's one or the other

no offence but there are plenty of non power adder small block heavy iron cars trunning 11's or better on 9" DOT's

the 383 is s proven power combo and can reach well in excess of 400 hp without any form of power adder, your statement about not needing more than 400hp is off mark as well, in theory anything more than 50 or so to get your car up to interstate speeds is not needed on the street, my 2105 lb car has about 400hp at the crank right now, and the new bottom end should get me to 400 at the wheel, and well over 500 at the crank...in a 2100 lb car! also the new Z06 comes with 505 hp from the factory, tha C5 Z06 came with 405, I'm sure a few at the hand of inexperienced drivers found their way into trees but the majority are still safely driving on the roads, even with their dangerous 405 hp!

now you want to talk rev king V8, there si a guy in PA, andy Nelson, he built a 383, and stuck it in a 260Z, with custom timed headers merging into a single 4" exhaust, that thing reved and sounded like no other american V8 I;'ve ever heard, it ran low 10's int he quarter, no pwer adders needed, and it was pretty heavy for an S30, I think he said it weighed about 2850!

im buying a whole balenced crank, rod, and piston setup

the rod to stroke ratio is better acc

its a 6 inch rod with the same 2 bolt main setup but forged and low compression pistons 8-1

the kit puts it at a 383 displacment at they claim 10k without throwing bearings

k add .5 inch less stroke to each cylinder plus 6mm? lower pin hieght i havent done the math personally

so im not saying your wrong ill do the math when im not faded

what kind of car do you have that wieghs 2100lbs

vette's has traction control

[evildky]

hehe"add .5 less"

how do you add a negative

then you'd be "de-stroking" the 400 not "stroking" it?

and yeah .5" (about 1.25mm) less stroke + 6mm longer rod = about 4.75 higher pin height

and my 2105 lb car is a 71 240Z was an L28ET, and no interior, the early cars only weighed about 2150 lbs fully dressed, but the engine swap adds some weight, actually I've changed some stuff and not sure of the car weighs more or less than last weigh in, heavier wheels and tires, lighter suspension parts, little trimming to fit the 315/35 17's, added a urethane airdam to replace the metal valance

Hahaha, so thats why I never see any supras out........please....400hp on the street and I feel like I was driving my old accord around. With a good set of tires, you could use 600-700hp on the street w/out spin

[Booztd 3]

in a 4600lb car it ran a 11.78 w/ the a/c on with 9 inch street tires @ 6psi0-60 mph in 3.5 flat

Thats real safe, wet down the track with AC condensation

[bone_stock_240]

hehe"add .5 less"

how do you add a negative

4 + (-3) = 1

seems easy enough to me.
