BLKMGK Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 2JZ in my car with stock turbos appears to measure about 27 inches wide and I think 25 inches long, I may have that reversed I did take those measurements and compare them with the 240Z engine bay. Width wasn't a problem from the looks of it but length would put it pretty close to my Cobra electric fan - you wouldn't be able to run the stock 2JZ clutch fan for sure! One worry would be how wide the engine is down low, the Z strut towers look to be no problem but the frame rails are considerably closer so if the 2JZ engine is wide at the bottom it'll be an issue. I don't THINK it's very wide down low though - the intake certainly isn't on the driver's side and the turbos tuck in some too I think. Somewhere I've got pics of the entire motor on a hook out of the car, I'll look for them! (found 'em!)

kalium99 Posted December 2, 2002 Author Share Posted December 2, 2002 The 6spd os definately NOT a good idea (well, if money is an issue). First of all they cost a bucket load and the ratio's of an R200 would be a bit off Im sure. An R154 is not all that easily found here in Australia. Next best option is a W58 from a JZ engine. Im a bit cash strapped at the moment, so the project is on hold at the moment. Im actually working on changing out the pedal box from auto->manual.

BLKMGK Posted December 8, 2002 Share Posted December 8, 2002 Originally posted by gaz:the 6 speed box is around $1600 $1600?! Wow, they're a bit more expensive here I believe. Biggest trouble with them seems to be where the shifter comes out Great ratios though IMO. The Supra's rear ratio is something in the mid 3s. A 3.7 LSD would probably work well with it. Can verify the Supra ratio if anyone cares, I think it's close enough to work well in our app. Wish I could do this swap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalium99 Posted December 8, 2002 Author Share Posted December 8, 2002 ahh K, I thought that the supra rear-end was something like a 3.2 or something around there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was off a bit http://www.mkiv.co.nz/specs.htm the rear is pretty close to a 3.2:1. I still think a 3.7 would be okay but lower would be better since the motor likes to have a steep ratio to push against. Hrm, wonder if the Supra rear could be easily swapped? I think the Automatic Supras have a deeper ratio. That page should give some decent measurement info for the trans at least. As for that WEB site - it's Flash enabled with no apparent option to not use that crap. On my broadband connection it took awhile to load. It's cutesy but tells squat about what people care about - flashy website != impressive shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
