2jz-gte Rwd 2g Gsx

[bOOstd GSX]

i'll only buy a swap thats legit with paperwork, because if he doesnt have the paperwork for the swap I wont buy it.

 

[95whitegst]

oh yea this dude has paperwork for all the engines and whole cars

 

[bOOstd GSX]

perfect.

 

[95whitegst]

yea man low millage engine and trannys i think he wanted like 2400-3200 depending on which one you choose for everything i dont price out jz motor and trannys much but it seems resonable

 

[bOOstd GSX]

Ya if you get the 2jz, the getrag, both manifolds, etc for anywhere between those prices id buy it.

 

[95whitegst]

Yea all the motors and trannys were all 2jz's with 6 speeds

I was originally on board with this, but 12's? You know you can do that with a stock turbo and fuel system right? That's not breaking a sweat for a FWD or AWD turbo dsm that's had a diet and the boost turned up. I'm not sure where the cost savings comes in when you've got a whole new engine, trans, rear end, etc vs. a totally stock setup.

I think he would do this anyway's regardless of what he can run. He just wants to do it without people telling him it won't be worth it.

Mad props to be different, but for hardcore dsmers, its blasphemy to think of a dsm being powered by something other than mitsu.

I'm definitely going to have to create a tunnel for the transmission. and i'm almost 100% sure it wont clear the factory hoodline but who knows.

Atleast the tunnel for the rear end and driveshaft is there.

I'm pretty sure i can get the motor low enough in the engine bay that if i run some type of modified hood, it wont be overly noticeable.

i mean people are sticking v8's into civics, i can definitely make this happen.



If anyone has a GSX shell sitting around, feel free to get some measurements of the engine bay(between the towers, from the firewall to the rad support, between the frame rails, etc.)

If I can get this to come together pretty smoothly I may even manufacture a kit so that other people can take advantage of my r&d and hard work.


I know a list of things that need done for the most part, just need some details figured out:

- wiring
- mounts
- driveshaft
- rear end
- drivetrain (most likely use the r154 5 speed tranny instead of the getrag 6 speed to save $$$)
- ecu (either oem to start with a piggyback, or a full standalone)
- intercooler
- radiator
- fuel lines and pump
- BIGGER BRAKES

im probably forgeting a few things but thats a general idea.

i thought i came across a website of a guy who makes special bell housings so you could use a r154 tranny on a 4g63 for a rwd conversion. i know this doesnt really relate but i thought it was pretty amazing

Ya I know dude, I had a 500 whp '98 GSX.

The point is I can get a stock 2jz setup in and run 12's. I'll obviously build an exhaust. Get a nice canister with a 3.5 or 4" inlet, probably do bulky twin tips out.

a fuel cell and a hefty aeromotive pump, single slammer holset, and whatever fuel management i decide to go with, & e85... itll run's low 11's, on Radials, with serious traction issues. But the point is the motor and tranny will be super comfortable the whole time. All while a chassis that should have been RWD from the get go gets a rebirth and new life in the community. Swap a 4G63 with whatever tranny you want and make it RWD.

I like the 2JZ and I like the 2GB bodystyle. So theyre getting mashed up.

1 bar.

dsm's have chrysler engines

 

[bOOstd GSX]

haha

 

[95redturboawd]

dsm's have chrysler engines

Maybe yours does...

 

[SubieEater]

14 years later and I’m wondering if this build ever came to fruition. I’ve been building my own 2g gsx and I’m invested in this thread. Any updates?

nope.

 

[1999RSfwd]

A 2jz has been put into a DSM, but I believe it was fwd

 

[curt-s]

How would that even work? You're not getting a 2jz in there in a transverse mount setup, so it would still be RWD. The body is almost the same but the rear suspension would be heavily modified anyway.
I'd love (ok, not the correct word) to be proven wrong here but it seems .. bass ackwards.

Eclipse with a Turbo 2JZ

This second generation Mitsubishi Eclipse was built by Full Power Motors in Pushkino, Russia. Under the hood sits a built 3.0 L 2JZ-GTE inline-six in a transverse layout that powers only the front wheels. Engine upgrades include ported head, forged pistons and rods, aftermarket camshaft, and...

There is a link to the website I read about it on. This is quoted straight from the article:
"Power goes through a custom four-speed transmission made from an Evo case and custom gears."
The article isn't super in depth, but there are a few pictures and videos.

 

[curt-s]

Ok so, as expected, its not actually an Eclipse as built from the factory. They had to gut the engine bay and cut the strut towers to such an extreme amount that you're basically running a tube and plate chassis as a front clip.
It's unique but ultimately pretty dumb. Wholly unsurprised given where it was done.
