leetaztsi Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I've been going over in my head for years whether I just want to keep my car with the stock motor and original stuff, but then I always go back to wanting more potential for horsepower and parts availability. I really want to swap a 2jz into my conquest, but I've never done a swap so I know it will be a headache trying to figure everything out, but I'm up for it. The problem is... my 2.6L runs great it has a recently rebuilt top end with a new head, but I'm just so sick of the stock turbo/fuel system. I'm thinking hmmm I can spend thousands on getting an MPI setup with a nice turbo running on the 2.6L or I could take that money and just swap a better motor in that has wayyyy more parts available and has the potential to make more horsepower. SOOO what the hell am I getting myself into is the real question hahaha... I really don't want to get rid of my conquest, I love the damn thing and I've done a lot of work to it. I just hate the motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmyers151 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 It's a very well documented swap at this point: 2JZ Swap 1 2JZ Swap 2 2JZ Swap 3 2JZ Swap 4 1JZ Swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayro Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 same has been pondering in my head. in my opinion for the amount of work and money thats going to be put in to the car to do either. 2jz would b the way to go cuz in the end its worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pure_insanity Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 ive kicked this idea around but im kinda considering staying mitsu and going to a 4g63/4 swap. after seeing the vid that joedog is putting down makes me want to that much more. parts are super cheap for the dsm stuff.

Earl Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 4G is easier, but not as powerful as the 2jz. It all depends on what you want to pay, and how long you want to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsmitty Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I've went back and forth on a 2jz before, but I decided 4g since I all ready had the basics for it. But 2jz monsters are definitely exciting makes you go, whoooooooh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainstreaM Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 I've got a 2JZ for sale! I still owe on the car it came from, otherwise I'd put it in a quest. Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotStock88 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 why not build a mpi g54b? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pure_insanity Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 why not build a mpi g54b? ive got a mpi g54b. but im pretty sure the 4g with some mods will equal what a well built g54b can do. and they are much cheaper and easier to find parts for.

I also agree with you that parts are much easier to come by for the 4g. BUT cheaper i dont necessarily agree with fully. I see some of the engine parts being cheaper but I also see some that are not. You also have to keep in mind that there are alot more parts in the 4g which just adds to the cost of the build. I personally have yet to see a full engine build on a 4g63 that cost less than a g54b build (both using quality parts). With that being said i also have to say that looking through the dsm boards, to buy a fully built 4g with low miles, is cheaper than building a g54 engine so i have to give credit to the 4g on that note. Good luck with your build. I just wanted to throw my opinion out there as food for thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig87 Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 2jz is pretty straight forward and documented. Three years ago when I was working on it it had never been done and took us way to long but the end product was much better then a mpi g54b.

leetaztsi Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I really appreciate all the input and at this point I'm kind of just trying to decide what I want to do in about 8 months or so. I want to plan it out good so that I can finish it quickly whichever motor I decide to swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
