2JZ-GTE swap possible or completly retarded idea?
#4
all I'll say is WTF
how would you line it up? Transverse? Won't fit that way. RWD or AWD conversion somehow, maybe.

but after crunchin helllllaaaa numbers on possible power outputs with different j engines and other car manufacturers engines an i think if you could make it fit without too much work, thats 2800 for a twin turbod car... that would be the same price after you put together a 6 speed an j35 after you installed them. so you add on 2800 plus installation. either way tho, your still gettin a twin turbod engine out of the deal that wud b puttin out 320hp out the box. plus this engine has such a greater potential for modding compared to the J.

and 2800 dollars , does that include the rest of the drive train too (rear diff), or even cutting out part of the firewall to make it even fit (let alone the lost passenger space you be losing too)

yes alot easier power potential from the 2jz, but are motors, are proably just as capable, just we have not had as much loving from the aftermarket as the 2jz

eh, I'd give you a thumbs up for unique factor... but good luck with the $2800 + installation unless you do the custom fabbing yourself. It would probably cost the same as a j35 + a 6spd swap, if the 2800 included a transmission... and don't forget, a clutch + flywheel isn't cheap as well.
Also about potential, there are a few here who have done amazing things with the j series. IE: jproy with his mp90 and rajca with his build and even that guy with his nhra build ( that chopped up CL with flames)
Now I'm in no way saying any of this was cheap, but I believe I'm satisfied with my 6spd swap + ctsc w/ hbp and can't really ask for more... but I daily drive this car

Like a BOSS
Id rather swap a Ford SHO Twin Turbo V6 into the car than an NSX motor. . . its gong to cost the same and 1 car would be faster than the other by a mile

true, and the aftermarket parts exists for the C series but you're still going to need to make more room for mods and i dont think the c series was designed to haul so much weight. engines are created with weight and aerodynamics in mind

but yes weight and aerodynamics, play a role in engine designs
but then you can also throw that out the window too, with how universial the J series motor has been for honda (yes there are different sizes, but still the same block, and basic components)

the C series was in the RL till 04 though, and those are not exactly as aerodynamic as a NSX, or sporty ethier
but yes weight and aerodynamics, play a role in engine designs

if its from the NSX he'll have to do some cutting since its sits at a different degree. then the tranny mounts etc will have to be relocated.. the C series in the RL's are SOHC also if im not mistaken. if its an NSX C Series it can be done but with the heavy tl, i dont think it will be worth it...... the engine was sitting the middle of the RWD nsx for a reason..... even if you build it, i think it will be under more of a strain in a FWD front engine car which makes the entire swap a minimal gain im my opinion unless you reduce the weight of the TL

so after seein 2jz's being swapped into s2k's i am convinced that they have to fit in the TL engine bay.

and yes the money on the conversion be better spent towards a 6 speed and actually building the J series

also the engine bay taller too, the car is already starting with a inline engine which are taller then a V-series engine
also the s2000 has 4 cylinders inline to start with (so longer), then a v-6 which is only 3 cylinders long (shorter)

There is a lot more room for a bigger rwd platform in an S2K. They have even done LS1s in them, butfor the money you would have to put up to make it work, it wouldnt even be worth it. What rear end would you use? Custom driveshaft would be a must. I think you are drastically underestimating it.

I'd be willing to bet a thousand dollars that this swap will never, ever happen. Twenty thousand dollars that the OP will not do it, short of winning the lottery and doing it just to spite me
...and a million dollars that he won't win the lottery!
