How much would this install cost like ballpark I think I might plan to do this on my RX8 too.

angeljoelv 06-10-2014 10:42 PM

So many variants. We have spent a subtancial chunk of cash. But id say it was more because we wanted to look a certain way and perform a certain way. There are guys who swear they can do it with 5-6 grand. I personally think thats way off reality. with that said, The way we did it, including suspenssion upgrade, fuel system, single turbo setup, fmic, ecu, tuning and dyno, custom fab, motor, tranny, clutch, drive shaft and plenty more.....we are well over 20k already

bosoS14russ 06-20-2014 05:45 PM

$20k for a project like this seems much more realistic to me. Nice work on this, however! :)

angeljoelv 07-10-2014 07:48 AM

Car will be on the dyno very soon. Stay tuned.

That is exceptional!

hussey57@gmail.com 03-24-2015 01:22 PM

I was thinking about dropping a 2jz in my 2005 rx8 , what would u think the cost would be for this swap , when my engine blows and I need a rebuild I'm really considering this

200.mph 03-24-2015 01:25 PM

contact paul at mazmart, hes putting together a diy and possibly a turn key swap but it will most likely cost 1/3 of your house

jreadman23 03-27-2015 10:00 PM

love
 
I'm thinking of doing a swap to my 04 I have a garage and all the time in the world. Obv the 2jz is one of the beast motors out there, would you do anything different now that its done?

Any chance you could shed some light on what you did for a PPF delete?

I am part of the LS swap FB group and I think 4 of the guys so far have had their diff rotate and shred everything to pieces.

I think I have come up with a way to stop any rotation in it, but I am interested to see how you went about it, as your definitely putting enough power to the ground!

Anti Roll Bar Replacement
 
Hi everyone,
Its been a while i havent follow up the thread. Quite good thread posted :-)

Out of curiousity! Has anyone replaced their lower front anti roll bar with other bar, especially for those with 1JZ or 2JZ conversion?

For my case, the stock bar had to be dismantle as the bar was interfering with the conversion. Your experience is greatly appreciate. Thanks

2jz build
 
Hi every1 I am new to this, I am building a rx8 2jz swap iv done everything and so far has cost me in total £3,300 to build but stuck on the last part the electrics I am struggling on how to do this I have both 2jz and rx8 ecu and I wish to use the original cluster. Help plzzzzzz

D13 07-10-2015 07:45 AM

Nice, but the TORQUE! I love my 8 but it can't get out of its own way. I have driven a number of muscle cars recently and they feel big and heavy, but when you plant the throttle they move. That is all the 8 needs to be truly awesome. TORQUE!

RotaryMachineRx 07-10-2015 08:15 AM

Hey Angel, can I ask what wheels those are and what specs you are running?

stickmantijuana 07-12-2015 08:06 PM

hey angel! what rear tires are you running?
