back in japan, my brother was talking to me about swapping in a supra engine in his 180, i'm not sure what it was called. had some. jz or whatever (can you tell me what it is) and he was gonna bolt on this 25psi turbo he got off of those freight trucks in japan. i just wanna know if this is all possible. because i'm not sure a supra engine can fit. he tells me it will work though. i also thought it would be a bad idea for some reason. like it'd be too heavy or something.

yay or nay

 

if its the mkIV supra engine then its the 2jz-gte, with enough money to do the custom fab needed it could fit. With enough money, anythings possible. The 2jz-gte is an excellent engine to work with, damn thing can take a beating. Personally though, if I was going to swap in an inline 6, I'd just go with one of the RB's.

 

thanks. yeah, i told him the same thing about if he's gonna work with line 6's go with the rb26. but then he told me the turbo would work better with the supra engine. so i said. ok....
are the 2jz-gte swaps common?

 

ive never heard of 2jz-gte swaps into s13's but ask ur brother for some more information and how hard it is. Is there custom packages to buy to help with the swap?

 

2jz is an awsome swap no more issues with power sttering or brake boosters being boild

the JIC japan s14 has a 1jz in it

 

why no issues with power steering or brake boosters?

 

exhaust is on the other side, so it moves it away, as long as its a USDM car. if he is in japan and doing it on a 180, he will be doing just the opposite, he will be putting it close to all that stuff.

 

alot of the guys are putting 1jz's into the 240s from what i have seen, because they are a lil lighter, spool up faster and have a higher rev limit how do i know???? i have 1 in my 91 supra
