2jz Corvette

[Poodles]

*yawn*

wiring looks like a 4 year old did it... and I'm sure the sand in the turbos is great...

 

[hellraiser456]

the second video shows improvement but i want to see the thing go....and an air filter wouldn't be a terrible idea ether.

 

[suprabad]

i dont understand their logic? the lt1 s a perfectly good motor, why would they take outa motor that is just fine and spend that much money to do that?

This swap makes no sense at all...

 

[Piratetip]

They probably blew the engine and just happened to have a 2jz around. Who knows.

 

[jmanbball]

stock lt1 = 300 hp at the crank

for a vette, 285 for the f-bodys
Also, that could be a tpi vette, with 230 hp

Here's another vid of same car

Notice in the vid that the front tires are on backwards?

Meh, unless the C4 is PERFECT, I really don't like them. The hottest C4 I ever saw was a track car with CCW classics. To me this is a waste of a 2J. There are cooler, more unexpected things they could have put this motor in.

 

[jmanbball]

Well, if you notice that the car is in japan, most of those people are probably going to think it cool. I like it because its going back to the corvette roots.

finnally a 2jz in a vette instead of a 350 in an mkiii see too many of those... heh

They're in Kuwait, hence my sand comment...

ZR-1's are badass, and how can you not like C4's? They look a hell of a lot like our cars...

 

[slidebabyslide]

some one had a corvette shell round and a 2jz.

 

[lppro]

well my friend has a 86 (i thought it was a lt1..) and the stock specs say 235 hp..

 

[Doward]

And 330tq.

Interiors are hideous, I'm not a fan of the LT1, they look like shit from the back, they are really hard to get in/out of, etc. The last few years after the face lift were much better. The Grand Sport and ZR1 are badass.

sweeet

 

[bmoss85]

i like it. id use it as a dd

 

[Datsrboi]

WTF.. They started that thing without plugging everything in. NO coolant either because the top hose isnt even plugged in.

 

[silvergsx623]

I'm a Supra and Muscle enthusiast..... thats pretty freekin sweet!

 

[Isphius]

yes....i love it. i would like to see the look of an american muscle enthusiast when he/she sees this

Im an american muscle enthusiast, But i also like lots of japanese cars. The only question i have is what for. The corvette isnt much of a different car from the mk3, only more expensive(on average) and with 2 seats. IRS rear, double wishbone front, about the same dimensions, maybe 2 or 3 hundred lbs lighter. Only improvements i can really think of are aftermarket chassis support and the brakes, and it has huge factory rear tires? And its fiberglass and wont have any rust?
