Crazy motor swaps

[Tantwoforty]

So whats the most off the wall swap you have seen yet..

At shop im working at at the moment we mostly do nissan twin turbo z stuff and 240 stuff..

We have been working on a Honda Delsol with a bluebird sr20det swap and a t28 off a pulsar gtir.
and today we got the last axle sorted out. and for lack of better words that little car rips.
The swap is actually not that hard. all said and done it was less than 4k

Were also doing a VG30de s13.. since i blew up my ka and we already had the motor..

anyway ill post pics of the stupid honda tomorrow. but for now, what kind of swaps would you like to see?
what would you think is undoable or too expensive..
and what have you seen..
such as the s14 with the corvette motor..
flame on :hug:

[jdmlivin]

Well here at JPR we have a RHD AE86 with a Altezza Beams 6 spd and a 2jz with a single turbo in a 99 E320 yup.

[bardabe]

if you need help with the VG30 S13, I got it all figured out. I was just about to do it, (with my old Twin Turbo Engine from my Z32) and then i picked up my Z33.

I'd like to see you try a VK56 into an S12 ;) Hachiroku Killer anyone?

or the RWD QR25 into an S13. remove the balance shafts, and get the QR20 Crank. oh yeah Full Aluminum 250ish N/A WHP

[doogstein]

Saw that Rambler wagon in person and lemme tell you that car is the most insane and well built vehicle i have ever laid my eyes on. Definitely deserved the Riddler Award no doubt about it. I dont think you could build a car any better than that one. cant say enough good things about it.

I had thought there was a video somewhere of a s2000 with a 20b single turbo in it. cant remember if thats exactly what it was but it was definitely off the wall.

[mattro]

i want a tt 400sb in my 240

one day....

[brndck]

best import swaps i've seen

bmw z4 with single turbo 13b

theres a dude here on zilvia that is putting a single cam mitsu motor from a starion in his s13 iirc

dc2 integra with rear engine b18 swap (was in ultimate streetcar shootout awhile back)

hyundai tiburon with 2 engines (one in trunk) for 4wd

top fuel rear engine del sol with turbo b18 engine

wasn't that crazy, but i always dug the s14 zenki built for road racing with the single cam ka24e

[driftking777]

Not super crazy but i did a KA24de-t swap into my 1st gen Rx7, Now im working on a LS1 swap in the same car lol.

[90hatchie]

im gonna throw a ls1 with t56 6 speed into a 95 gs300 next winter
dont think it would be crazy though....
people put ls1's in everything

[Tantwoforty]

mmmm some very nice swaps on here..
sr, rb 240s are so last year
the coil on the sr20 delsol died today..
wahh

[thisisastickup]

An f20 into a 510, and a 20B into a 510.

[atutt]

I've swapped a 1UZ-FE twin turbo with a R154 MKIV 5spd into an 89 Supra...
It's been done but it's still pretty crazy... ish...

I've also seen a Buick Straight 8 in an S13....

The Rhys Millen Genesis RM400 or what ever is pretty baller too...

[VROOOM]

i saw a Lexus powered 50's Merc a few years ago. kind of an odd swap.

The shit you've NEVER seen. . JZ-ROD - JZXproject (http://jzxproject.com/bbs/index.php?showtopic=2572&st=0)

[illvialuver]

I think it would be cool to have an old skyline like a with a rb26na with just itbs and a full exhaust. It does not sound crazy but I think it would be decent na, plus it would sound killer and the cops could not say shit about the legality because it is older than 74.

Or a miata with an rb25 swap. the guy my girlfriend bought her miata off of has a red first gen miata with an rb25.
I would like to sr20 her miata but from doing the research it looks like it will cost too much and the wireing is a pain.

[swingsett]

that jz above is pretty bad, never seen that one before.

[20 til 3]

Who hasn't seen the 2jz delorian

[HyperTek]

i want to do a rotary powered 911

but dam that hotrod with the JZ is crazy, i wouldnt mind doing a hotrod with a FC 13bt rotary w/top mount intercooler.. would look super tiny lol

[D.Adams]

i would love to do a subaru EJ25 into a 240.

[sr20sean]

The V10 BMW coupe mentioned before
Hyabusa Smart Car

Personally if I had cash to blow, I'd swap a 2jz into a 2nd gen prius- RWD convert of course. Would be such a sleeper.

[sr20sean]

why is that such a stupid idea? i think an ls6 in a civic would be even worse of a swap then the v10 in a s13 vert

[bardabe]

20b on a ae86

[bardabe]

and if you look at the build thread it's actually a corvette chassis with a Civic body welded on. :cool:

[PANGES]

2JZ-GTE in an S2000 seems pretty cool. There's some vids floating around on youtube.

[matt11145]

20B in my S14......someday....it will be different and more rare than my built SR hah

[Slammed180]

There's a guy locally that is building an E30 with a 7MGTE.
It should be pretty beastly when completed.

[0100]

LSx into anything is pretty standard issue now a days, so definitely not crazy, but since we are talking e30.

[RB24_S14]

The Swap that has never been done is a VQ30DETT into a S14. Yea you heard right, a VQ30. That must be pimp. Also a VR38DETT or a Strocked VQ37HR into a 350Z would be awsome!

[Tantwoforty]

a vg30dett would fit into a 14 easy, might have to relocate the drivers side turbo to clear the steering column, and use the vg30de oil pan so it will clear the xmember. but all in all it shouldn't be much work


edit..
imma jackass and read VG.. yeah a VQdett would be very very hot... expensive tho

sr in a teg or eg is actually something I want. lol

^ I don't see why this isn't more common.

[Pactin]

^ I don't see why this isn't more common.
alot and I mean ALOT of Honda boys are so loyal, they stick to their company's powerplants.

That and Honda motors are easier to mount. Not sure how difficult the SR is to mount, but D series and B series sit pretty.

[Tantwoforty]

out the door the swap is like 3500..
cant beat a 220ish hp stock engine lol
the swap is pretty easy now that we know what were doing and have all the specs

on a compleatley un related note..
we found a FD RX7 for very very cheap.. and it was pretty banged up and had been stripped and neglected.. but ut only had 70k.. and the motor runs..

anyway.. when it came in on the flat bed it was all dusty and gross, and it was juuust like the scene when they get the supra and hes like "pop the hood" hahaha
sorry.. worst post ever

[SinGarage]

Not crazy but I still want to do the original mini with Busa in the back conversion. It will be a high revving and light go kart lol.

[ManoNegra]

Well here at JPR we have a RHD AE86 with a Altezza Beams 6 spd and a 2jz with a single turbo in a 99 E320 yup.

wow, it's been a while since I've been to JPR or seen Jimmy
got my first SR from him back when he was still in Fullerton maybe 6-7 years ago.
He still got that Benz with the 2JZ?
IIRC he also had the first S14 with a running RB25 that I've seen


wasn't that crazy, but i always dug the s14 zenki built for road racing with the single cam ka24e

You're referring to the GT3 tube framed 240s?

Saw a 510 with an LS2 in it at the Classic Japanese Show in Irvine a few years back.

The Swap that has never been done is a VQ30DETT into a S14. Yea you heard right, a VQ30. That must be pimp.

I'd settle for the VQ30DET in my S13...

Did anyone ever do that RWD QR25 in s13 that Barbade was talking about? I searched, couldn't find anything substantial...
