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.

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!

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

Also, how do you plan on retaining oem functions?

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.
