would a 2jz

[Xuracing]

I have a 2jzgte and the mating manual trans. I was debating the swap. then i realized the 2jz is WAY to heavy its like 720 with no trans then add a 170 or so for the trans.
It would GReatly throw off the weight distribution so i opted not to do it.

cut the firewall, move the engine back and adjust your suspension accordingly and there goes your distribution problem....

i mean if you have the fabrication skills to mount the engine in there then you can cut and weld the firewall.

But being able to weld some thick metal that has no structure in the car is much different than thin metal that is part of the unibody of the car. I sure as hell wouldn't unless you got major plans on how your gonna put the strength back in from taking out and putting welds in place of a part of the car. Just food for thought, I'm definitely not a purist, but hate hackjobs.

ehh i really dont care about weight dist... i just think that for the price im getting this setup would be worth it i mean a 2jz in a e30 u dont see that everyday u know and i dont care how heavy the car would be i know it would be a whole lot lighter then a supra wich means it would be great for drifting and drag

Don't think it would be good at drag racing. All the weight is in the front, traction is in the rear, so aint gonna be too good.

i know its a 1jz .. but they also offer a 2jz but isnt advertised if i remember correctly

i was talking to the guy for over 2 months .. he sounds pretty legit ... comes with motor mounts, tranny mount and custom drive shaft shipped for 1200 bucks

for over 4g's he can send u a motor setup shipped .. the motor rebuilt, wiring harness modified to be plug in, oil pan modified, mounts, drive shaft, ... only thing to modifiy is the brake booster to be a drop in setup .. exhaust is your problem

obviously u would have to get it through us customs .. but should be easy since the 2jz was offered in the supra .. so u would just need to show proof that toyota offered the engine in the USA and it does pass emission stardards

he is located in Britain ... but he gets all the work done in Thailand

i was thinking about doing it

but declined because it was way too much money and didnt like that i had to send money to off shore stuff .. LOL

You dont see a euro s50 everyday.

[e30 power]

well i dont wanna be just another s52 out there i wanna ba more like that 2jz'd e30 out there and plus if im gonna spent money on a swap ill go w/ 2j since its boosted all ready not just an s52 I WANT BOOST

[e30s52]

Its not an s52 its an s50b32. A euro motor makes same power and is alot lighter then a 2jz. Just seems kinda counter productive. Just my take on it.

Define "a lot". A JZ motor is not like Nissan's RB (nor the M20/M50). 1JZs and 2JZs are all aluminum and weigh less than the competition.

Yes the turbo stuff will add a few pounds, but it's still at a fraction of what an M motor costs. I am willing to bet you can swap a 2JZ, have still great weight distribution, for much less than an S50 swap.

[e30s52]

My mistake. I thought the RB's and the jz's were similar besides for the displacment.

e30 power, I don't like you already, you seem like a dumbass to me.

Stop talking about how the motor came out of a "drift car", and do the swap. But I know you wouldn't, because if you could, you wouldn't have to ask if you could. So do it, or don't.

If you pull it off, you will have regained my respect. Really.
