2jz motor conversion
hey guys im looking at putting in a 2jz motor into my vx does any1 know if there is a conversion kit out there?
Ecotec Just Kicked In!
not sure how easy it would be plus im pretty sure you cant have a motor thats older than the car in
i do believe that as long as the engine in its current form is used in a newer aged car its ok, for example, a vx (01?) would be able to use a 2jz from a 98 supra as long as the supras that were sold in 01 used exact same its ok, so its not ok if there were like small differences like changes in manifolds etc.
that said, i have no idea when the last supras were made, i have a bad feeling 98 was it, but 2002 also rings a bell, i have no clue so sorry if im not correct.
also if im not correct about the laws then someone please correct me, i was told this from my mechanic when i got my sisters celicas engine swapped
The motor will have to come from a Supra that passed ADR 37/01 or prove that they didn't change if older than that I reckon. you shouldn't have any real problem doing that swap, your mechanic knows what he's on about. I don't think there's a kit for it? but theres a few commodores around with 2jz's in them so it can't be impossibly hard to do
Swerves for gay koalas

If you have a Supra, keep the engine in there, it's a better car from the ground up!

VT S Packs All The Way!!!
Given that it's so easy to put a LS1 into a VT I don't think it's ever going to be a common thing to do
yeah its to easy to just put a ls1 in it i was just looking for a chalange and teh 2j is a better motor and beat a ls1 anyday
Geez, that's a big call. Can you expand on it a little more?
mate there are plenty of 10 and 11 sec ls1s out the how many supras are there?
Sell the VX, get yourself an early girl and stick it in that.
Probably none cause they are all running 7s 8's and 9s :P lol
agreed! my mates got a 500hp 2j supra thats running stock internals! my god is it scary! saying that tho i havnt had the chance to go in a high hp LS1
yeah as much as i love commodores but with a 2jz like old mate said you can get 500hp at the treds just with bolt on parts then if you start playin with the internals you will b pushing the 1000hp mark
but yeah i think im just going to play with a twin turbo set up on the v6 and c how i go would any1 know if there is some1 out there that makes the exhaust manifold?
