2jz-swap UPDATE!!!!

Sorry for delay been busy lately but here is an update on the project. Side note anyone who has ever thought about dealing with Fiftyfifty racing should think again, the company is a fraud and they workout of their garage at home and the man doesn't have enough funds to even keep his phone connected.

Sweet. Hopefully we'll be able to follow this project all the way through. The last guy that tried this, kinda just disappeared and just stopped posting.

OK, how much cutting did it take to get that engine in there if any. I asked my son about this very thing, and he said that it would take too much cutting.

PLZ keep us posted on this.

what is the weight difference in motors between a single turbo 2JZ and the stock engine in the RX8? Going from memory, if the stock rx8 engine is considerably lighter, won't this 2JZ setup hurt the weight distribution balance of the car?
