88 RX7 with 2JZ

TS87FC3S · 07-27-2010, 11:56 PM

I have a 1988 GXL the 13b is getting tired, and the tranny synchros are going out so instead of rebuilds im just going to start the 2JZ swap.

.. im going to be doin a single turbo 2jz. AS of right now im gatherings parts and am looking for any information that anyone has about this swap.

I will be fabricating almost 100% of the parts myself..

Info Needed:
2JZ dimensions
Pics of crossmember
2JZ and where it sits with stock hood
etc

(thanks in advance for any help)

Not hating... but why?

The 240 guys are doin it!

That's one, big, heavy engine there...
Inline 6 is not going to help either.

Potential to make gobs of power, but I'd rather let the Supra / SC / Soarer / IS / Cressida guys get first crack at it.

Hey, if it floats your boat, go for it...

why not just do an LSx swap? easier IMO.
