good lawd batman. i have an rb20 swap. i think i'm about to sell it all right now for a one jay zee.....
could you pm me some unedited pics? i can promise not to share them with anyone online....


oh yeah. you are the man.

 

unedited pics of what??

im fitting the body kit, panels and bonnet this weekend, then monday should see it back with my mechanic for a final going over before engineering... then a dyno run - should pull 350 - 400rwkw ... then some paint.

as for RB20/25/26, a stock 1J will rape either of them and mod for mod the RB's will blow up well before the 1J even breaks a sweat.

 

^ not true.

 

the red ferrari wannabe s13 is horrible looking IMO

1JZ is nice and different though

 

yeah, people either really like the enzo kit or really hate it... i dont mind it...

the 1 J tho.. that is my baby... drove it a few times yesterday - neighbours all came out to see what the noise was... very angry sounding car with the 264/272 cams in it...

 

This thread is pointless.

You should of copied and pasted your progress.

 

i did, the link was in the second post... but just for u, i'll put it in the 1st and again here below and delete the 2nd... and when the car comes back from getting a wheel alignment this arvo, i'll take more pics and add to the thread...

as for the engine mounts.. imagine ur standard S13 engine crossmember mounts... all i did was cut about 1/2 an inch off, straight across the top to lower the engine a little - welded a plate across and drilled a hole for the bolt to go thru... so basically, it looks the same as a standard S13 Xmember, just a little lower...

nice but toyota can keep the 1jz nissan has plenty of good motors to offer

 

yeah, as much as i love the 1JZ now, back when the car was an SR, it more than scared the pants off me and made a mockery of engines twice its size.

my friend and i r also in the midst of planning a VQ conversion for his convertible S13. . . . .

 

I saw the link. thats why i said you could of copied and pasted all of that info here.

 

i could, but the pics wont copy across... i'll try and start a new thread in the general section or tech sections and update the pics..
