Well I was thinking, Do you guys think dropping a 2jz-gte motor into an FD is worth it. Wouldn't the car be a bit more reliable then having but, I'm just looking 4 some of the forum members opinions. Since I might be doing this conversion. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

nope

for one thing you loose the FD's 50/50 weight ratio

Nope.



You're looking at spending a shitload of cash to match reliability of a 13B REW. Otherwise you are cutting corners to save cash, and in the end it's gonna fall apart.

The conversion will never make fiscal sense. The slight increase in reliability will never add up enough to offset the cost of the conversion. Just buy a supra.

That's exactly what I was trying to say.



Well put.

It was done ONCE, and only done once because nobody else is dumb enough to try it.



Too much money. Why switch out a 13B for a 2JZ when a 13B has more potential (in an FC or FD) for more types of races? It just doesn't add up.

THNX guys that clears that up, I just thought it would be more reliable, but it looks like it wouldn't be worth it from what u guys posted. THNX again
