Import motor swap?

It will probably be next spring before I get an engine. Gonna start suspension and body mods this winter.

 

the base 2JZ?

i saw a car a while back, think it was a prelude with a 2JZ-GTE.

have you seen Marko Djuric's supra? it has dyno'd over 1,500RWHP

 

2JZGTE. Going to throw on some BPU's maybe toss the twin turbos for a larger single, and intercooler. Nothing to crazy Maybe 450+hp.

 

i hate imports and there crowd of people. this kid told me in class today " whats the point of drag racing when i can hit switches" my question is whats the point of bouncing you car around. i hate imports im gonna get rich by all the imports and burn them.

 

Individuality is what makes it all interesting.

 

Sorta, different approach. Buddy has a old blown up Datsun, I was thinking of putting a 170 in it!!!!!

Only kinda swaps that I could do!!!

 

i agree with MAVAHOLIC imports are a joke!! send em back to japan

 

I was actually thinking of a 13b P-Port w/ a blow thru turbo...
But I can't keep the maverick light enough. I had a RX-3 along time ago...

 

Very true. Without it we would all have the same car stuff. I like differnet. Sometimes I don't understand different but I still like it

 

When my sister buys a new car shes gonna give me her 82 mercedes 240,and it has alot of lag, thats why shes buying a new one.If the new fordsix head is in my price rangei will be putting a 250 in there i think it will be an improvement over the 67HP,but first i would fix the .50 tailpipe i put on

 

I just now noticed this thread, there is no replacing the sound of a throaty AMERICAN V8. Different idea, I never would consider it.

 

My brother calls these A$$Fires

 

A Supra engine would be cool, but it had better make over 1000 HP and run DEEP in the 8's to actually be "cool".

Interestingly enough, the difference between a 400 HP supra and a 1400 HP supra is that the 400 HP one runs 12's. Wait, so does the 1400 HP one.

Why not a Geo Metro 1.0 L 3 cylinder? They don't use much fuel, they're light, plentiful and put out about the same HP as the 144 or 170 did +/-. You'd have to figure out how to make a transmission work for RWD though. Shouldn't be too hard.

 

ahh i can see it now a maverick going down a 25 mph. neighbor hood sounding like its going 3000mph. and sounding like a mooing cow. that will be awsome. lol ya right

 

Nissan V8

how about one of these,


i might get the chance to drive one if they import them, my cousin started working in one of those exotic rentals place and he gets to test drives a few of the cars, he had a 81?esprit this weekend...really cool how a 200HP car can go over 150MPH
