Wicked swap. I think I would go with a smaller turbo and just make around 400hp. Would be a retarded street car!

Why...when 1000 whp is so much more fun?:eek5:

air cooled?

Jesus, looks like the racing snail from the neverending story.

Is that a RHD?


edit: nevermind, it is...where is that thing? The turbo is not even positioned properly to be mounted, looks like joke or something.

holy crap thats retarded. the idea of it is badass, but when you think: supra's are a pain in the ass to get traction in as is, subtract from that like half the weight, and add like 3 times the horsepower = no traction in any gear ever unless on slicks

That will still roast slicks

But I guess if some is good, and more is better, than too much is just right.. or however that saying goes.

is there any more info on this crazy mofo? i tried googling it with no results. that is insane, id just like to know what kind of power level, boost level, or quarter mile times/traps he got on that thing. geez, its just retarded power

you usually i say nothing it stupid bad damn, its hard enough to get traction on a 400rwhp miata let alone that much power and tq

i dont understand the rationale behind this. Its much easier to make the same power and torque with a V8 swap, twin turbo if need be.

That Yella one looks like a Bullet roadster. Mind you that is not the one of the motors that Bullet normally offer.

wow so old man... that guy posted on miata.net and then never posted again.

That white one lookins like an Aussie MX-5. There is a local club member doing something similar with his. The problem with a V8 (and other forms of FI) is getting it on the road legally here in Aust. As soon as you replace/modify the ECU you are in violation of most states laws. A Nissan based engine in an MX-5, with standard ECU is easier to comply than a OEM engine with replacement/modified ECU. Yes you can get away without getting complied, but if you are caught you the car is taken off the road until compliance can be proven.

+1 on asking for more info. There's a local Supra with over 700 whp doing under 10 sec in the 1/4 mile. That thing must be insane! I mean, there's a forum member who's right now building a turboed V8 NB Miata but only for drag racing. That Miata on the other hand looks like it can be driven on a track! :)

Please Hustler, any more info?

Thanks

crazy swap, i like the Japanese guys who did the rb25dett in a miata

Anyone else notice it needed two filters to get enough air? That car looks like...dare I say it?...Too much

Any LSX series swap uses the stock LSX ECU and gets you 350+ to the wheels. And you can flash the stock ECU to pass pretty much anything that comes out of the OBDII port aside from proper tuning. I don't get where a Nissan based swap would gain you anything.

I think and I maybe wrong, what he is saying is that you can't do an ecu swap, the ecu must be an original ecu, but that still doesn't make full sence.

BTW can someone change the name as that is not a 2jz, its a 1jz.

I do remember when the guy first posted, he said that the motor fit in without cutting the stock subframe, now he never posted photos, but I do know the 1jz come in both mid and rear sumps. I know he said he was using the 1jz out of a supra which means rear sump.

If you search on M.net for 1jz you can find the few post the guy made, but he never posted anything after the first few photos. He did say he was not using a standard tranny but I believe a turbo 350.

What magazine is that with the yellow one?

http://www.zoommagazine.com.au/index.php

This one, I think.

Im confused. Are you saying that a car with an LSx can pass emissions?

lol i was just waiting for someone to post that lol /\

wow, it took 2 pages too, i thought it would have been among the first couple posts :D

Thanks. This means that now I only have to find out which back issue it was.

If anyone knows how I can get it or who has the article please let me know.

thats a 1jz

um, its been mentioned already.

the first miata the white one has a 1JZ

the yellow one has a 2JZ

the 1jz is righthand drive too.... Just thought id point that out

Yea I believe the car is/was located in Aus.

Wow, so we're going to repeat EVERYTHING twice in this TWO PAGE thread, huh? guess there's alot more slow people that need reminders of what's been said than i thought around here

:giggle:
exactly what i was thinking when i read these guys' posts

Did you know that it's a right hand drive 1JZ swap from australia nad not a 2JZ swap though?

I also thought i'd point out its in a miata.....:fawk:

BUT did you guys know it was white? thats right ITS WHITE

Absolutely. In Maryland, you need to swap a car motor that is the same year or newer than the body it is going into. For OBDII, as long as it passes the port scan and a visual (for cats, which I've never seen them do here) it will pass emissions.

So my LS6 from an '01 'Vette is actually going to be controlled by an '04 GTO ECU/wiring harness in my '01 Miata.

I vote for time for thread to die by lockage....... anyone disagree?

um? I don't think I've ever seen a locked thread here. Ever

lol...i agree, but are you sure you wanna lock up such a wonderful thread?:bowrofl:

I dunno man, all the wonderful information that's coming out of it...maybe we could start ANOTHER thread just like it with all the useful post and keep the BS repetitions of the same three facts here?

What do you guys think about the nose shrouds and scooper? I was thinking of something like that, just building a tunnel for the air to move through.
