2jz FC3S

[Noremac]

*This build thread is to help keep me motivated and for some input as the car starts to come together*

In my opinion, RX-7's are great cars, and I really like the rotary engines that they come with but I just can't justify the expense of a reliable 500+whp 13b. With that said I've been putting jz's into FC's since 2009 and have had alot of fun doing so. Here is my current project:

Goals:

-500+whp on pump gas, 700+whp on pump + meth
- 10 second quarter mile of some sort
- 3000lb with me in it and all fluids
- capable on the road course
- street legal

Now its your turn to make one for project "Bench racer" , I agree its finally starting to go back together.

Oh this will be an awesome build!

Post some pictures of other cars you have dropped a 2JZs into!

Thanks man, hopefully it runs at some point. I'll see if I can dig up some pictures.

They are aren't they.

Thanks dude. I agree that it violates the original idea of the car but to get the same level of performance and reliability you're basically talking about a 20b swap + lots more $$. Its something I'd like to do some day but for now I can't justify the expense.

Can't wait to see it out Cam!

You and me both!! Its come a long way but still has so much further to go.

The plan is to finish the trans mount this evening and move on to the fuel system when time allows. More pictures to come.

[89s1]

Hell yeah, awesome build.
