is it possible to put a 2jz into a 240sx hatchback if so how much does that run in cost? if anyone has done this type of swap to any silvia family car please post pics. thank you

Sublime1304 · 05-25-2011, 07:09 PM

I'd imagine it's very possible

Renegade_ · 05-25-2011, 07:10 PM

Yes its possible.

Instead of asking how much it is, tell us your budget and we'll tell you if its possible. Not gonna do a budget writeup with links for you if its straight speculation.

JSTSEIKO · 05-25-2011, 08:32 PM

well sorry for the budget question but this is me preparing for future plans of mine. i just figured there may be someone here whos done this type of engine swap and can tell me roughly what was spent so i would bother trying

just want to see overall how much my idea wuld cost

anarchyperf · 05-25-2011, 08:56 PM

I was going to do one in my S14 and when all priced out I landed somewhere around $10k. Not a cheap swap.

JSTSEIKO · 05-26-2011, 12:13 AM

did the price make u change ur mind? cause i have alot of things i wanna do to a 240sx hatchback. but thats the first thing i wanna do. i mean eventually imma do it no matter what. but wat made u change your mind?

Munky · 05-26-2011, 12:16 AM

There was a guy here locally with an S13 hatch that had a 2jz in it. Dunno whatever happened to him or the car. He did most of the fab work himself so the cost was basically materials and motor/trans in his case. I do know it isn't a cheap swap if you're letting a shop do it tho.

JSTSEIKO · 05-26-2011, 12:28 AM

im willing to go thru it in the end. my problem is i used to be a supra maniac. well i am a supra maniac but mk4's are too expensive. and mk3's hard to find in decent shape. so my next fav thing is 240sx hb. so y not jus drop a 2jz in that right? lol

b15mike · 05-26-2011, 12:54 AM

one of my best friends has a 1jz swapped s14 hes up there in price and he got it done by someone at his house it sounds great and has the power.

damn man and thats a 1jz i want a 2jz. nothing less lol

evomike · 05-26-2011, 02:37 AM

It's expensive and not worth it there is way better ways to go like a 1j.

b15mike · 05-26-2011, 02:27 PM

yeah a 1jz is just enough power especially in the lightweight of an s-chasis. he spent like 5 to 6k maybe i believe hes on here ill try to find his build thread.

JSTSEIKO · 05-26-2011, 07:49 PM

wat if i save enough money for the 2j anyways would u guys still sugest the 1j?

Yea it was basically just the cost that made me change my mind. I just looked at the spreadsheet I put together and my total in parts came to $7,224.51.

b15mike · 05-26-2011, 08:12 PM

i mean if you want go right ahead and do the 2jz it takes some work. i would honestly just go sr20 or rb lol but thats just me.

JSTSEIKO · 05-26-2011, 08:21 PM

ok im sorry but sr's and rb's are jus too common. thats what makes me think of 2jz. does anyone kno what parts need to be changed or somewhere i can find out. ive tried to look but culdnt find it. and ive actually barely seen this swap on 240s. any help is greatly appreciated and thanks for the price estimate

You seem set on a 2j can I ask why this is?

tjmhillz · 05-26-2011, 08:28 PM

Look in the build threads section on Supra Forum. There's a few 240s with 2jz swaps. Also the 2jz and 1jz swaps are becoming popular just like the Sr and Rb swaps in 240s.
