2JZ RX8 project has started
 

From the same guys that brought the blue 3 rotor rx8. We have aquired a 2005 white RX and a 2JZ with a manual trnny. Car will be a daily driver and will retain its twin turbo setup (if possible). Not mybfavorite motor for the 8 But an amazing motor never the less. Pics will start flowing in the next couple of days. Lets see how this one comes out.

awesome man. does that mean i can haz you 20b 8? please

Let me think about it........... nope.. lol

:tear: jk man. gl with the build, cant wait for pics.

Nice, will you try an retain all factory functions?

Yes 9krpm. Thats the plan.

Base Auto huh. Are you planning on a big brake kit? 2005?

2005 base model. It will eventualy get a Big brake kit and a whole bunch of goodies, but for now we are going to concentrate in thr swap itself.

If this comes out anything like your 20B, it'll be a well executed swap. Looking forward to seeing this one completed.

Looking forward to following the build. Good luck :)

Nice nice nice, can't wait! I've seen a couple, but not that nice.

If it was done to an FD, see no reason why it can't be done to the 8. Not too fond for a 2jz swap but interested in seeing the finished product, good luck!

sub'd

this should be cool...

Badass build! What are you doing for a big brake kit?

Also, how do you plan on retaining oem functions?

Λ The same way you retain the functions for a rotary swap!

put a renesis front cover on it haha

VVTi just kicked in yo! Lol

Why no isuzu v6 swap?

This motor was originally going in a 1972 celica, which was our project but then desided to look for a newer body car and why not an Rx. Its my brother's car so thisbis what he desided.

2JZ no shit.....Sorry Joel, I just had to.... :)

Lol.. no worries.

I think you should do another 20B, I missed the first one :(

Goodluck on the build.

l let you drop a 20b in my 8 :lol:
