[chris_335]

Just so you know what a 2JZ Engine is
Think Supra

[shedrool83]

These engine aint cheap tho talking thousands i'd imagine.

[fuzzy]

a low mileage 2.5 twin turbo skyline engine with 6 speed box was only £1600 from Fensport a few years ago.

[shedrool83]

A quick look found this.

[chris_335]

not cheep but very fun

[chris_335]

What more do you need

[shedrool83]

Would be a beast like

[gudgeon]

What more do you need

A gearbox?

[chris_335]

and how much is a gearbox for one of them

[fuzzy]

What more do you need

lots of parts to go with it.

[Nobody_You_Know]

Mate of mine has just stuck one in a Z3 M Coupe.

Mad mad car.

[E30BeemerLad]

and how much is a gearbox for one of them

The box to use for sensible money is the R154 out of the MK3 supra 3.0l turbo (pop up headlight style), they are mega tough and usually come up for about £250

The 6sp out of the MK4 supra turbo is very expensive, usually £1500+

[beema_boy]

i have a mk3 supra if anyone wants that engine for their car?? 3.0 n/a manual
can these be used?

Mate of mine has just stuck one in a Z3 M Coupe.

Mad mad car.

Moffat

the s50 b32 he had was a heroic engine when it was in the car, it must be bonkers with the 2JZ

there is a member on here (G57YLE i think) who has this engine in his e30

good engine, with stock internals they can make over 500bhp, some recon 600bhp.

If its the bloke I'm thinking of, he's actually got a 1JZ :p


2JZ - 3.0 twin turbo engine from the supra/aristo...

1JZ - 2.5 twin turbo from cresta/laurel/soarer...

[Felix79]

600 bhp in an e30 shell. bloody hell you could take a Ferarri F430 with those figures. When you think about the BHP per ton your talking better stats then an Enzo. Hell even the F40 was 480 bhp with a twin turbo setup!

In a straight line only

[trimmer]

With Nas!

[ImysE30]

I'd love to do this swap 2JZ in a cabby would be mental , would cost quite a bit though, time to save up

[E30star]

Imys - why? You can get plenty of power by turbo'ing the 6 pots on stock internals, and spend a lot less.

If you're aiming for big power, yeah, 1JZ, 2JZ, 1UZ or big yank V8. But you'd not need to worry to 350bhp or so!

[ImysE30]

I'm looking for 500BHP minimum if i go turbo

I don't think a M20 could handle that, or without spending loads on money on it

[chris_335]

Any one gunna try it then

[E30star]

500bhp? Nah, not worth it trying on an M20 - its good but nowhere near that good!

Even with a 2JZ you might be looking at changing internals for that power, not 100% sure though.

Had you thought about the volvo B23 (think thats the engine code) those things are mega strong - 400+ bhp on stock internals!

[ImysE30]

I've read the M30 is good for around 400BHP on stock internals.

Probably cost around 10k for the power i want

[tomislav]

There's a guy on here, fowler, got a 325 touring with estimated 500bhp. Think he works for or is something to do with Ant @ A-Tech

Mr Moffatt, The man, the myth, the legend.

That Z3M was the first proper quick road car I ever went in, the tuned BMW engine he had in it to start with was insane.

If I hadn't lost my job I was ready to by the V8 he has just taken out of it to go into my E30... fucking recession.

[Kos]

i'd like to see an m30 be abused and stay reliable with a boosted 400bhp on stock internals........

mine died after 18 months of infrequesnt abuse and 300bhp


felix, 362bhp in an e30 weighing about 1200kg with fuel and driver is enough to batter a ferrari 360 around thruxton

[E30BeemerLad]

To be honest, as desirable as it is to go hunting stellar power figures in an E30, from my observations over the years, anything more than about 350bhp is an utter waste due to the complete lack of traction.

[chris_335]

some one has gotta love a blast from the past with a drop of jap come on

[ross_jsy]

why dont you do it then?

got a quote from ant of about 5k drive in drive out for 350hp from a turbo on an m20. now just waiting his reply on how much it will be to do the m50 thats now residing in my garage

[ImysE30]

Well Gunni got 400BHP from his 2.8 (M20) Turbo

Go for it Chris, then sell the M30 to me

[jaistanley]

I have circa 300 bhp from a nasp S50B32 and traction is a problem if it is even remotely damp.. Really dont know how much use the extra torque would be!

Fun though..

[Jhonno]

I have 300bhp from a high revving N/A lump, and struggle with traction, there is definitely a point when it is just chasing numbers for the sake of it, esp for a road/track car

[chris_335]

i aint got the cash to do the swap sorry but one day will do a crazy jap lump
