jake Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 No offense, why bother with 350 whp. The 280zx turbo motor can make this alot cheaper(alot less hassle too).I have one laying on the side of the house that came out of my 73. You should really search this forum alot more. Plenty of members making these numbers with the zx motor. I would rather have the more up to date motor but I will look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzzzz Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I would rather have the more up to date motor but I will look FYI there are no 2jz bolt in kits. The ZX motor bolts in. There is alot of fab work involved to get the 2jz in. Do you have any fab experience or are you planning on having someone do it for you? There are alot of details to work out. Not trying to discourage you in the end you should do what you want. 2jz can get really expensive especially if you have someone else doing the work. I am still working out some of the details myself. Lots of homework involved. Best of luck however you decide to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fully dressed [manifolds, turbo, injectors, tranny, Flywheel, clutch, etc] L28ET can be had from less than $500, usually not going over $1,000 for a stock setup. A 2JZ-GTE + Getrag [good luck finding one for less than a grand ] is going to be super expensive, especially fully dressed. N/A 2JZs are everywhere and you can get them for cheap [my roommate bought one out of a GS300 for $400], but you're going to have to get N/A-T turbo manifolds, a R154 tranny, and the proper bellhousing. After fab mount parts and engine management, you're looking at a hefty bill. There's a reason I went with the L28ET, and it wasn't because it looks pretty or makes the best power. It's darn cheap!
