Go Civic.

i did that swap its not easy the air fliter for the turbos has to be shortened.trans has to be sanded down to fit beside that it fit pretty well.if you do it i hope too see it.please do the datsun not the honda lol j/k do what you want.

im thinking the datsun. its gonna be a bitch to fab up the whole rear end and make room to fit.

im gonna use this Z as my insparation. its got a tt V8 out of a Q45. but im still gonna use the 2jz

why are you putting the supra rear in it? and if so why the datsun rear will fit the drive shaft after a little cutting and glueing.

i was talking about making the supra rear end fit in a civic. ill use the datsun rear and driveshaft

Put the 2JZ-GTE in a Lotus Super 7. Add extra weight to the back to maintain balance.




Wait, add weight to a Lotus? That can't be right. Just "upgrade" the suspension and let it be unbalanaced.

Between the Civic and the Datsun.....Datsun of course.
