Hi Joe and welcome. Sounds like quite a project you have there. Are you a member on Driftworks? They recently did a 2jz conversion on an S15 so that might also be a good place to get info from.

 

I take it you're building a drift car?

 

yes mate i'm a member on driftworks

as it happens it's not going to be a drift car which is a 1st for an S13!! it's going to be used a fast road car with the odd track day and a 1/4 mile blast i'm hoping for around a high 11/ low 12 quater miles with it running hopefully around 450/500 with a few mods and a sorted suspension set-up

the thing is all of lads i know are running fairly fast cars now and i seem to have got left behind after starting a family ect ect

I'm not sure an S13 platform with a 2JZ would make a great platform for a fast road car, as there's a hell of alot more weight over the front wheels than there would be with an SR20 / CA18.

Have you thought about a V8? That should help keep the weight behind the wheels.

You'll need a much wider rear track with proper geo and suspension. Good luck! A decent Supra will be cheaper though :)

 

well i'm going for the whole lot with regards to suspension and geo most stuff is dirt cheap for the S13 i got the complete engine with all ancillarys turbos ect really really cheap just need a gearbox ecu propshaft plus i'll be doing all the fabrication work and the conversion my self and it will be a lot cheaper than buying a supra i thin including the engine it should stand me at around 1500 to for the conversion parts thats including the engine

Going auto then? Still, I will eat my bed if you do all that for a DOCUMENTED £1500.

sorry EDIT was meant to say £2500

well i'm gussing at that by the parts i still need but on the other hand i dont know what the bits go for the engine has cost penuts and i mean peanuts

irrc K-Konversions do a complete conversion kit with everthing for $4000

how much do the 5 speed boxs go for also how much will an ecu and prop set me back?
