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?

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

 

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

 

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.....

 

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.
