2JZ or RB motor swap? what do you think??
 
Hey guys im posting this thread up to get some opinions on having a 2jz motor or an RB put into my 350z. Let me know what you guys think.

why go iron 6 when you can go aluminum 8

3-fifty-WeEe 12-15-2008 08:30 AM

what he said ^ those are old style motors, get something new. try the skyline engine or the 370Z motor... or V8

why swap to a 2jz, the vq is almost putting down the same big hp numbers.

IIQuickSilverII 12-15-2008 09:28 AM

not just that but more displacement...better power curves... better heads...id stick with vq

What are you trying to do OP?

is it just coincidence or are most of these kinds of posts started by people with 20 posts or less? :dunno:

The one is a Skyline motor (RB) and the one we already have in our car is a skyline motor (VQ)

I'd go for at least a V12

to the OP - these swaps have all been done before. If you are serious about them and have the $ to be able to execute it (alot), you'll find the guys who can do it for you

If I were going to take to swap the motor out, I wouldn't even think twice about it. go american V8!!!! whether its and SBF, SBC, or LSX, you can't go wrong. easy to work on.......unreal aftermarket support, lots of room to with if designing a custom turbo setup, etc.

IMO I always wanted a RB motor in my Z. Also If you had a LOT of money just swap the whole drive train fron a skyline to the Z AWD RB 350z lol. Doubt thats been done. Yes peopl will say "why not a G35X" or whatever you call that car.
