there are several very reputable turners in the FI forum on the East Coast and I think one in Florida. Becarefull who you will take it to or else you will regret it. I learned form experience.

Yes I have heard of 50/50 Racing I used to own a Honda S2000...A few people have went to them to have this done...End result was was yes the motor fit...To get everything running correctly it took thousands more...They make it seem like a easy swap but its not...Why a 2jz? The VQ is a better motor...For the money your going to spend twin turbo it...

I dont really like to post links, but here is a good one where this topic of VQ vs 2jz has been hashed already.

2jz's weigh ALOT with that cast iron block. Correct me if Im wrong but I think you are going to ruin the handling if that is of concern to you.

I'm with you.

OP, why don't you just buy a supra instead? I sure hope you don't think that the 2JZ swap into the Z will be a piece of cake.

i hate the vq engine but love the body of the z im tired of srt4 and **** smoking me and with a turbo kit ill only get 400 hp to the wheels i rather spent a little more get iron block made for boost and own everybody ...i spoke to someone already to do the swap they quoted me 8000 for everything swaped and ill sell the vq engine and block and walk out with paying about 5500 which is the same as a turbonetics kit unistalled and im ok with that and have a engine i can put alot more power on

by the way im not trying to make this a battle over which engine is better i just like the 2jz thats just my opinion

wow, you are truly too fast too furious doing a swap because you keep losing your little street races in a car that was never designed as a drag racing car in the first place.

s14=>350z

if your going to do an engine swap why don't you stay in the same company and just get the rb26dett, but then again i have seen some 240s with the rb, just my opinion. its your money your going to do what you want, so have fun with it.

buff350z

wow the fast and the furious commets was sooo cool the z isnt a drag car last time i check the neon isnt a drag car but its fast as ****

This thread sucks.
First, This topic has been debated and threads have been made on this go do research.
Point number two;
stock 2jz > stock vq35
600hp mild build 2jz <<<< 600hp mild build vq35

third even if you do get the car running for 8k youll still have a crappy stock heavy *** engine and a max hp with boost controller and maybe more will be hmm about 400hp. A boosted stock vq with greddy tt would have a much better powerband than the peaky 2jz.

ALso, say you want to build your 2jz lets consider this. 20k dumped into your stock motor vs 20k dumped into swap and then having the engine built first it would be obvious which would be better.

But then again put your money where your mout is and proove me wrong why dont you.... id like to watch.

buff350z

already ordered the engine its on its way will see how your little turbonetics kit at 400 hp with hold up against a iron block that many times have held 900 hp

LOL we will see how front heavy your car can get. We will see how it will be even harder for you to get any traction at all without drag radials. We will see how your car will frantically understeer around corners and push the front wheels. We will see how much lowend power you will have compared to a boosted Z and finally we will see how much money you dump into it vs how much power you will get from the engine.

I'm honestly not bashing you im just being realistic. I will be humbled if you prove me wrong and I am happy to see you are trying. +1 for being different and I wish you luck. Please post pics when your done. And yes the 2jz can get 900hp so can the vq *rolling eyes* IMHO 900hp 2jz isnt as nice as a 900hp VQ, if you want any low end or usable power anyway.
plus im willing to bet it would be cheaper to build a 900hp vq monster than to go through an engine swap plus build the 2jz.
Not to mention weight distribution and power curve. Goodluck though.

I know you're trying to be realistic but some of things you say are gonna go right over his head. I am sure he doesn't care about turning since he's talking about racing Srt-4's and losing, which is sure to mean in a straight line.

Also, the last VQ I saw over 900hp was FAR from street legal, and the odds of seeing one on the street as compared to a Supra are about 1,000 to 1.

$20 says the OP won't even go through with the swap. $100 says he will feel stupid for putting so much money into a swap that offers little to none performance benefits over the VQ.
