Rx7 fd. 2jz vvti. 350z 6speed transmission





2jz FD Swap

Recently i receive pictures taken from a friend of mine.

He was working for a client, making a 2jz swap into one   FD3S  RX7

Here some pictures:

Sub frame. See how was cut and solder again to avoid the use of splitters.
So, in that way the  engine is in a low center of gravity.











Steering rack was positioned some centimeters lower.








This is the RX7 with the engine mounted

Hydrofan

In the middle of the process, some things happends.

-Hydrofan: This  problem is  basically shortest  because the water pump in some models have the oil pump for the fan cooler.

So what , some people do, is take the oil line and make a loop.
Water Pump, and Hydrofan Lines.

Starting Swap

The first thing i have to do. Was put splitters between the subframe and chassis.

Because the 2jz is more  taller than rotary engine.

Aluminium Splitters 1 1/2 inch high
Me cutting screws

Finally, engine mounts was done.
I use landcruiser engine mounts for this swap.
