Why I ditched my 7MGTE and went 2JZ NAT with AEM

P5150,

Did you have the block resurfaced prior to the new HG or did you only resurface the head?

 

[p5150]

I disassembled the block, measured it out and had the deck resurfaced. All the hardware is reusable so no worries.

Just in case you are wondering how the stock rods hold up, it looks like a GT42 running 35psi and pushing a Ford Probe into the low 9s (yes I know it sounds wierd) finally did it in.

I remember when that car was fwd, pushing over 400ftlbs and running low 11's. matt is a great guy and to this day still holds the record for the fastest fwd (street legal) probe. now with the 2zj in there he has the fastest RWD probe. he says he still takes it out on the road, glad I don;t live around those two. :nono:

back on topic I would love to do this swap. I'm happy with the 7m for now though.

When i was all into mazda mx6 he was using a FE3 engine dohc basically the vtech engine of mazda. most tunners say fe what_ good engine though.I was about his whole set up for 3k. motor ecu lsd etc. BUt I just found a 2jzge off of a gs300 for 270 dlls with wiring harness, ecu
hopefully they will still have it by the end of the week and start 2jz a monster

quick question..is it harder to na-t swap a mk3 with a is300 vvti motor? then there would be no need for the dizzy just coils

 

[Supra_Villan]

VVti rods and pistons are VERY weak, thiery horsepower cap is around 400

ohhh ok so what 2jzge would be the best candidate for a na-t?
