Re: mazda rx-7 2JZ-GTE swap
Actually the vette v8 engine swapped into a Fc is 28-ish pounds lighter then with the rotary and turbo....
I dont mind the swaps but im still not a fan of them, seeing rx7 and hearing v8 is odd... |

Re: Re: mazda rx-7 2JZ-GTE swap
you Obviously dont know much about cars or engines especialy v8s i have done a v8 conversion on a 1986 rx7 and it handles just as good and thats with a 5.0 v8 from a mustang and the battery in the back and i rebuilt the engine with 400hp and it only cost $950 the total cost pluss the car was $2600 i dont think you can pull that off with a rotary

Well...........I'm going to do a jet turbine engine swap.........and it'll have a lot more horsepower with the same handling........and and then it'll blow the doors and paint off anything.........yeah! I just have to work on that overheating problem. Intercooler maybe......nah.

Re: mazda rx-7 2JZ-GTE swap
You'd be messing up the power to weight ratio and the 50:50 weight distribution. A well performing car must have balance...
But if you must swap, the 3S-GTE is lighter than the 2JZ with plenty of potential. The 2JZ is a little overrated, you know what they say "Whats the difference between a 400RWHP Supra and a 600RWHP Supra? they both run 12's" |

hinsonsupercars.com has full information on the LS1 swap and sells everything to do it.
the engine retains the same weight disribution, INCREASES reliability, increases power and speed... honestly, i've never heard of a TRULY streetable 500hp 13b, but 500hp from a vette is cake! and as far as the 2JZ, and 3SGTE... the engines are incredible, bulletproof, the transmissions they come with are more than bulletproof, once swapped it would be ungodly... considering the HP capabilities of the Toyota engines... 400hp and 600hp are REALLY just as fast as each other in the supra chassis, it's a pig to launch, but in the FD, you'd notice. god this topic is old. someone kill it. or post pics and a full story. |

Re: mazda rx-7 2JZ-GTE swap
Yes it is old. . . Whats really wierd is that right now at 10:53 PM you brought it back up... Whats even more wierd is that the thread starter is online. . .
He has only ever posted in this thread and hasnt posted since last year. . . I kinda wonder if you dont maybe know him. . . and as for killing it, it WAS dead. Im going to see if I can get a mod to come in here and close it permanently. |
