1jz/2jz swap kit need input - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

ruckus-racing · 01-30-2008, 06:36 PM

ok i know some company somewhere makes a s-chassis swap kit for like $1500 for mounts and shaft. i am in the works on my own kit for like $850.00 for mounts and shaft. i was just wandering how if anyone has any input on how popular this swap is. i am not trying to sell anything becauseim not a vendor on here but i just need all of your input.
thanks,
cody@ruckus-racing

its BS

just slot the holes on the k-member, it bolts in

save money on mounts, and buy a 1pc steel shaft

hitman · 01-30-2008, 06:39 PM

ya, im kinda interested in this. 1j seems dope

slideways2004 · 01-30-2008, 06:43 PM

interested if you can acheive badass fitment. low and as far back as possible. i have only seen one set of mounts that did this and apparently they were one-off customs

x2

We need more options that don't cost 1.5 grand

Bushido · 01-30-2008, 06:56 PM

^ i agree. even 850 is a little steep imo.

we are not even suppose to be able to put toyota motors in our cars. u have to pay to play. i would pay 850 for a swap kit.

slideways2004 · 01-30-2008, 07:00 PM

also, the kits that cost like $1500 make the motor fit easy. menaing they place it so everything is easy. its not as far back and low as possible. every inch counts!!

Deftec · 01-30-2008, 09:25 PM

Yes, Tech2's kit is designed to save space and be a direct bolt in for everything. Price is a little steep, but if you're already going with a 2jz, expect it. I've heard(rumors) about slotting the crossmember and using sr20 mounts and it bolts in, but that's just he say she say. I'm still undecided on how I'm going to mount mine, so if anyone has any personal experience about mounting the 2jz's...please chime in

B Love · 01-30-2008, 09:28 PM

Mounts prolly arent too hard to make. just do your own. Plus 1j is mad cheap and can do small things for easy hp. Im planning 1j for my s14. just because of the price

RB S13 · 01-31-2008, 12:10 AM

i'd rock that ish.... freals... no matter if its a sacrilage to put toyota in a nissan... thats some top secret type ish...

^bump^

gotta pay 850 bucks to play? 500 at most goes to a driveshaft. 350 for motor mounts and a transmission mount?

steep.

I'll make my own for that much.

ruckus-racing · 01-31-2008, 06:17 AM

the price is not set in stone i have to figure out exactly what has to go into them. you have the remember laser cutting cost,welding time, cleaning, and powder coating. all this adds up at the end of the day.

driftking777 · 01-31-2008, 01:11 PM

i have done the 2jz swap, i personally got all the stuff from tech2, fitment is nice, easy swap, however tech2 seems to be very unorganized, it took me about 2-3 months to get everything i ordered from them (and everything was instock)...and there was alot of "fabbing" required to make stuff fit, which pisses me off after spending 1500 bucks for a "bolt in" kit

however...pics

and for further instructions, i would recommend doing this all with a car lift, because putting the motor in from the top is a PITA...from the bottom is premo.

Zilvia4eva · 01-31-2008, 07:40 PM

like I said before $850 is resonable with the drive shaft included....and if the quality is good,you will blow out the competition for that price

these parts shouldn't be any harder to fabricate than the rb25 mounts,only difference is that the rb is much bigger

HellonFire · 01-31-2008, 08:02 PM

Motor is easy to drop in from above.

Mount details coming soon.

Tyler

B Love · 02-01-2008, 12:26 AM

Plus you have so much space on that side you can run giant turbo

ruckus-racing · 02-01-2008, 06:05 AM

thats awsome

SWAT Team S14 · 02-01-2008, 07:12 AM

you make this kit & i WILL buy it.....i've wanted to do this swap for a while, but 1500 for the kit plus wiring plus custom i/c pipes & exhaust is just too much.......

hinds90 · 02-01-2008, 07:16 AM

If you make these you can definately put me on the list .

did you take the front rad support off to do it? i found that on the s13 you really have to get that motor tilted pretty far to get it to go in smoothly. I also had clearance issues with the firewall in some spots (to get the motor to mount to the subframe)

Nope, just like a normal swap.

considering you are already spending loads of money for 2jz/1jz and all the custom stuff, what is 850 dollars? steep is 1800 dollars that the swap kit now costs.

okay, make your own. then tell us how much you spent to make it and how much you are willing to sell it to us for.

yeah but at the end of the day, your paying 800-1200 for engine mounts, almost as much as the swap.

420sx · 02-03-2008, 11:01 AM

if you dont have money and you wanna complain at the cost or lack fabbing skills GTFO. you wanna play you gotta pay either with $ or your personal time

Deftec · 02-03-2008, 11:14 AM

Yea, I think I'm going to bite the bullet and buy the kit that way I can store all my parts and have minimal down time on my car.

care to elaborate, because I have seen a couple of people do this on fresh alloy and Duy with the s14 running 8's is one of them. In my opinion he is very knowledgeable and I would trust his word and he's posted pics to prove this, so if you say it's mjore work than that do you care to show proof of this? Cause i would like to know what possible issue i may face. Thanks.
