2JZ Swap Kit?
 
I know its possible to purchase an LS swap kit which includes harness, mounts, driveshaft ect. but is there a 2JZ swap kit that you can purchase?

No swap kit, but you can buy Xcessive mounts for the motor. Non-VVTI, front sump only.

Acutally xcessive makes mounts for vvti 1jz and 2jz blocks as well.

Source: own a set of mounts for my vvti 1jz


But yeah you kind of have to piece everything together and do the wiring yourself at this point

I hope you're not serious...

For real, if you're asking such noob questions about this swap, this swap is not for you or you've got atleast $25,000 to throw at somebody to do it for you.

SomeoneWhoIsntMe 01-23-2015 01:16 PM

Yeah, that's the thing. There's been a bunch of these swaps done for formula D but there's not a ton of info publicly available on those cars. There's only a handful of people on forums and maybe one or two shops in the process of doing this swap, so there's NOBODY to hold your hand. Unless you're comfortable figuring everything out for yourself, don't attempt this swap.

Funny thing. OP just sent me a pm cussing me out ahaha.

An engine swap is not a bolt on kiddies.

If you are looking to do a swap like this a lot has to be taken into consideration. Mounts are available, making the trans mount bracket is easy. Now you have to sort out wiring, yes there is an engine harness available for the swap but to do the swap properly there is still a considerable amount of work in that department that needs to be addressed. You will also want to look at your heating and cooling system, the heater core hoses will pose a small but workable issue. In a race car things like heat are not worried about, it gets hot in a race car anyways. Also you will want to look into a proper radiator. Do some digging for other platforms this engine is used in and look at the cooling system issues. Quality fans will be a must, as well as a properly sized radiator. I would also spend some time working on how the airflow enters the radiator area and make sure it goes were it needs to. Now that you have those things sorted you need to look at properly fueling this thing. A typical drop in pump will only support stock injectors. Why go through the trouble of this swap to deal with that limitation. So you will need to factor in a proper fuel system. I could continue on with this list for quite a while. If you are attempting this swap things you need, to be able to do, weld and access to metal working tools, comfortably work with an automotive 12v electrical system and be able to properly read a wiring diagram, good understanding of automotive repair work, ability to properly plumb a fuel system and cooling system, ect.... I will not say this is not a doable swap, as it is completely doable but I will say it is not for the feint of heart.

If I swap in a 2JZ, can I use my Borla UEL's?
