88 RX7 with 2JZ
 

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.:party:

.. 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.

Good Power, Not to common the 1J is really common not so much the 2J. Just want the wow factor..

Im helping my friend do a mk3 supra with a 2J right now and know all the basics of the swap just have to trasfer that to the 7

Only way i am ditching the rotary is if another jdm engine goes in place.

That would be the opportune statement. Good luck.

Well good luck with the build & keep us updated & document things as you move along.

Of course I will im taking measurements right now, and looking at what im gonna need for the swap.. and about to pull some side jobs to make money and go pick up the engine soon

Just curious what tranny were you going to use?

Im goin to be using the r-154 trans, 5 speed out of a mk3 supra.

Ok so i got to my buddies 2jz and his supra and got some measurements..

2JZ:
Length- 32inches
Height- 24 inches
Width- Approx 28-30 inches with single turbo

R154 Trans:
Length with bellhousing- 29 inches
Bellhousing width- 15 inches
Tranny width- 10 inches
Tranny Height- 10 inches

mk3 Engine Bay:
Firewall to radiator- 34-35 inches
Strut top to strut top- 31 inches
engine mount to engine mount- 18.5 inches

Nice can't wait to see the finished product. Going to be goin 1j. :) Good luck!

engine, trans, driveshaft, lots of extras are out of the car.. starting to put stuff up for sale and getting 2j parts
