i saw a video on the internet with a first gen Tiburon that had a turbo charged engine up front with a secong identical turbo charged engine in the trunk/hatch part. The rear engine drove the back wheels which made for a twin-turbo-twin-engine all wheel drive Tiburon. Pretty cool!

Hennessey was selling a limited number of "PT Crushers". Essentially a PT Cruiser with RWD conversion, front engine removed, cargo space becomes a big engine bay with which to house a 500 HP Viper engine.

turbo 4g63's are almost a drop in for hyundai sonota's as well as a couple others. hyundai used the non turbo 4g63 in the first place, so it makes quite the nice sleeper

thats a shitty swap, theres a guy in calgary witha SB chevy in his, now thats a swap.

still the ultimate swap for any car is to put a big ass v8 in it and then make it wheelie.

A 4G63 powered 1980 Porsche 911 ( euro model), 3S-GTE powered Supra, sp engineering did a FD3S with a 2JZ, a FD3S with an sr20 (kinda dumb imo), the windsor 350 v-8 in the focus was pretty wild, and the datsun 280z's running with a variety of chevy small blocks,is300's with the 2JZ's have been done more than a few times now but still awsome:bigpimp:

the northstar in the golf owns. A V8 in a car that can barely fit a 4. Pretty pimped

I've seen a crx with the stock motor up front and a huge blown BB chevy in the back, the car had 2 shifters, and 2 gas pedals.

so durring the day, he could drive around getting 30+ miles to the gallon all street legal on the original motor, and then when he wants to, he starts up the big V8 with no exhaust runs an 8 second quarter mile, then simply shuts it off and drives home.

now that is pretty pimped.

i always thought that this was the best engine swap.

bmw e36 compact (smaller then usuall) with a m5 v8
a few years back H&H motorsports built it they called it the "HP"
they tested it around the nuremburg ring(sp?) and it smoked the rear tires all the way!(295 wide) in all the gears!
it was total sleeper

another good one was a twin engine mercedes A class

but the best of all was "rumor" some insane mofo put a porsche 928 v8 into a trabant "trabby" (east german two stroke car)

hey guys anyone been to pick you part lately? There is a 88 nissan 4x4 truck with a 3/4 chev diff on it, up front is another 3/4 ton diff and under the hood that has a painted cardboard scoop is whatlooks to be a BB 400 possibly an Olds/Pontiac motor! It is sick looking, and the front crossmember is cut to make room for the pulleys and stuff. total ghetto job. There is also atleast 6inches from the back of the firewall to the back of the engine. very sick 4x4 swap. oh and it is on a nissan chassis, using the same nissan leafsprings and u bolts! No wonder that thing is in Pick your part!:barf:

Kreisbahn Kolben motor in Nagoya Japan...
Stripped first gen Miata with Bridgeported n/a 13b with motec engine managment.
I saw this thing on the dyno put an incredible 342 rwhp down in N/A form, if I wasn't there when I saw it happen, I wouldn't have believed it myself...
I watched a few track vids of this car and it went like a rocket...

Surprised no one has mentioned Jimlab over at rx7club.com, he's currently swapping in an cobra v8 into an FD.....:eek:

could be the longest thread ever about one topic....123 pages long!!! It's like a 3 hour read....if you skim over it....5-6 if you really learn everything he says.

its a 600hp 20b. i heard somewhere that the chase car was quite heavily modded but still had no chance to keep up.

I was hoping someone posted a 20b swap on here hehehe.
anyone see the crazy dude in japan built a 4 rotor fd3s. now thats a swap considering the 20b is a 3 rotor engine. I would kill myself with a 4 rotor engine hehehe
