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.

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. |

Long jurney ahead, but we are making progress.
|
Looks like a tight fit. Plus you could run the intercooler through the factory intake hole
|
Nice nice, how did everything fit with the power steering? Might be interested in some engine mounts once you geti them done. Looks like I have to get rid of my bre engine, since I have no one to tune it. At least there are a ton of piston tuners here.

Looks sick man. May I ask what is up w the 4 port? :)
|
the 4 port Motor is low on compression. Im going to rebuild it and maybe sell it later.
|
awesome! Any issues with firewall clearance?
|
Not at all. The crossmember and steering rack is an other story
|
looking good angel. you know if your bored, instead of playing with pistons you could swap a b re, b rew, or 20b in my car lol

We used a steering rack from another car. We had the steering pump with the motor so we didnt have to worry about that. I will let u know once the car is on the road if it works good.

what kind of numbers are you going for with this project?
|
Mad skills I'm jealous
|
4-500 whp range.
|
Once everything is in place, we are taking it apart and making some cosmetic adjusments. All fab work on this project (engine, tranny and rear end mounts and braces) was done by RAW. Rich Auto Works. So we can't thank him enough for all his amazing work. Its still a long road ahead for us here at the shop but i think at the end it will all be worth it.
|
Nice work. Get it right, get it tight.
|
Man I really dig this swap...I'll do this once the renesis lets me down

We originally were staying twins but at some point after we started the swap desided on going single. So it changes a little the original plan but thats how things go.
