very interesting swap, care to share any more details?
What made you pick the 1jz?
What kind of horsepower goals do you have?
Cost?
etc.

any build pics?


Congrats on a finished swap though. Not too many ever seem to get done that are non-rotary

Brettus

so - what more can you tell us about it ?

Good work posting a completed project - most just come on here spouting off about fitting a jz engine are just jzzzzing in thier pants and have no clue .

Sad,

Looks good! Now steam clean that engine bay......it's dirrrttty!

Amen.


It is great to actually see someone who did it. Properly built you can make 400-450Hp reliably.

J.Cab

Very nice....Are you using a W-58 transmission? could probably get 500-600 hp out of that motor. 2JZ FTW!! Use a 67mm turbo, it works great for a daily driver IMO.

holy ****, this guys in pakistan

1JZ is capable of 700HP. And actually in some ways it is better than the 2JZ. With a good tune and a proper build, 400WHP is easy.

TeamRX8

exactly - cheap labor and intuitive determination helps, they do some amazing things with minimum technology and equipment

9krpmrx8

Some learned that the hard way.

J.Cab

depends what your power goals are...if he wants over 400whp+ he will need to get a new manifold and turbo.

Its good thats its done and ready , now you have time to clean it a little.

what kind of computer are you using? Do the stock gauges work?

Dirt_Nasty

Nice job. Interested in more details.

rx8_504

nice build dude, im interested in knowing what kinda mods and tune your going to put on the 1jz

SayNoToPistons

Quite possibly the worst fitting body parts ever.

thanks 4 liking it guys i was waiting d swap to complete n nw its complete so i just took d pix :p
n sure i wll post more pix of clean engine bay

n abt d transmission .. its d rx8 original 6speed mated wd 1jz n 3puk clutch

n em having two ecu`s in dis car 1jz n original rotary n yup stock gauges are working proprly .. !

twinturbo8

it was hard to gt d stock guages working cz ov d can bus system in rx8 ... but i found a guy who did it 4 me ..... none of rx8s non rotary hv dea stock guages workin but dy r working fyn in ma 8

9krpmrx8

Nice, looks like they are using the 1jz ECU for the engine and RX8 ECU for everything else. A stock 1JZ can still put down about 100WHP more than a stock Renesis and way more torque.

I've also got a finished 1jz rx8, and I'm just trying to get the gauges to work. Does anyone have the schematic or a link for piggybacking the rx8 ecu to the 1jz ecu?

carbonRX8

The fact that there are hidden details of reverse-engineering the RX8 instrument cluster to run off a non Mazda PCM makes my mouth water. (I am assuming it is an elegant, information-driven hack and not a cut and replace.)

Incredible thread. Honestly think it is unique in the history of rx8club. I cannot recall anyone popping on here with a brief announcement of a major swap and posting pictures of the finished product.

twinturbo8

my car`s guages are working perfectly n d guy who did d swap 4me is not willin to giv d ecu comm system wdigrm to any1 (

twinturbo8
