j_jza80 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hi Joe and welcome. Sounds like quite a project you have there. Are you a member on Driftworks? They recently did a 2jz conversion on an S15 so that might also be a good place to get info from. I take it you're building a drift car?

I take it you're building a drift car? yes mate i'm a member on driftworks as it happens it's not going to be a drift car which is a 1st for an S13!! it's going to be used a fast road car with the odd track day and a 1/4 mile blast i'm hoping for around a high 11/ low 12 quater miles with it running hopefully around 450/500 with a few mods and a sorted suspension set-up the thing is all of lads i know are running fairly fast cars now and i seem to have got left behind after starting a family ect ect Edited December 2, 2008 by joeS13sx (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I'm not sure an S13 platform with a 2JZ would make a great platform for a fast road car, as there's a hell of alot more weight over the front wheels than there would be with an SR20 / CA18. Have you thought about a V8? That should help keep the weight behind the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 You'll need a much wider rear track with proper geo and suspension. Good luck! A decent Supra will be cheaper though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A decent Supra will be cheaper though well i'm going for the whole lot with regards to suspension and geo most stuff is dirt cheap for the S13 i got the complete engine with all ancillarys turbos ect really really cheap just need a gearbox ecu propshaft plus i'll be doing all the fabrication work and the conversion my self and it will be a lot cheaper than buying a supra i thin including the engine it should stand me at around 1500 to for the conversion parts thats including the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
