Are you from the states? He swapped in a JDM 2jz-ge? They are slightly different in several ways. They use MAP-based airflow measurement, and the stock ECU does not like positive boost pressure (much like Honda ECUs). They also have a speed limiter (which can be fixed easily enough). With the transmission, thats a pretty good deal. Are you getting the ignitor and other misc parts? Planning on running the automagic?

280zx_sliding Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 ya i am from texas. he got the car from a guy in vegas who had a porsce caymen s and a nsx in the garage. so in other words the guy has tons of cash. im getting everything except engine mounts. and drive shaft. if i find him a 6 speed 2jz tranny and get it for him ill get all the stuff for free. so the japanese motors have speed limiters on them also? also i have no clue what automagic is can you elaborate for me. the owner said i can run up to 12 psi with out changing to a 3 bar map sensor and 16 on the stock internals. does this sound about right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zx_sliding Posted July 25, 2007 Author Share Posted July 25, 2007 another question i was wandering. ive read alot about doing a sbc swap but when this deal popped up i jumped. so my question is with the automatic tranny what will i be looking for with driveshafts. is there one that will fit and is there one that will hold good power. also how does the weight of the engine and tranny compare to a 280zx non tubo standard tranny?

Z-Gad Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 if i find him a 6 speed 2jz tranny and get it for him ill get all the stuff for free. You do realize that the Getrag 6-speeds sell for $2500+ for just the tranny alone.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
