2jz Miata on the Road, 9psi or so

[DdgeShelby]

Did GRM let you compete without a hood?

How much of a PITA was it to shoehorn that in there?

I've seen LSx swaps, but never a 2JZ

[2jzmiata]

@DdgeShelby Never competed we thought about it but I never got involved enough to find out. I am in the process of rebuilding part of the car so I may or may not try next year.

[Suprasamgte]

detonation lol



[loucks428]

prolly pre igniting like hell hahaha

[3dd4ff5]

13b would have ran wayy better in that car...

[xXxchipperchopperxXx]

@3dd4ff5 yeah but someone with a 13b in a miata can not say they have a 2JZ in their miata now can they. its not how well it runs its all about the build BTW im pretty sure a 2JZ would stomp a mudhole in the 13b just sayin

[2jzmiata]

@3dd4ff5 I do not want to worry about it blowing up every time I drive it. I thought about the 13b but with the reliability problems it was a no go.

@2jzmiata

If you are worried about blowing up a rotor every time you drive it you must have little confidence in your engine builder or don't know how to treat and care for a rotor.

Don't get me wrong I like what you have done. I thought about getting my FC swapped to a 2j when I had mine rebuilt. Previous owner clearly knew nothing about rotors and sold me a car with little life left in it.

50 000km engine my arse. The old reputation that rotaries are unreliable is no longer true.

[GraysCreekMilitia]

@3dd4ff5 or 13a. you would need to keep traction = )

[CoreyCross2]

@monstermiataman me too! Lol at red lights, or just when I'm bored, go outside and start it up just to play xD

[monstermiataman]

i would find myself playing with the exhaust flap with revving the engine

[V8ERMANN]

RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!

[Pierbri]

i like the exhaust flap

[izzycroptik]

This Mazda is so wrong... don't get me wrong, it's a good wrong :D

[2jzmiata]

@ebmgypsy It is not that bad. The best thing you could do is buy a Flyin miata blank crossmember and make the mounts it would allow the motor to sit alot lower. The engine fitment in the engine bay is good all I had to do was cut the top radiator support but it does stick through the hood a bit.

[N4CR5]

This totally makes up for all the 'gay hairdresser' comments these cars have ever received. Totally awesome execution of mod!

[matthewrockslol22]

hey the speed limit is 35 you clearly went over 80 sir!

[2jzmiata]

@ebmgypsy It is a 2JZGE out of a 95 supra with a W58 5 speed trans out of a non turbo supra with a rx-7 turbo II rear. The suspension and everything else is still miata.

[kalanielderts]

The popcorn your making is melting your pistons lower the compression ratio add fuel less ignition timing

[2jzmiata]

@kalanielderts I have lowered the timing as much as it will go and I have a gte head gasket to bring the timing down a bit. I will be running a AEM FI/C soon so I will be able to control the timing better. I hope it runs better the second go round.

[68fakesnake]

I love the rain cap

[maliy8]

bad ass exhaust

[TOPSECRETEVENTS]

Looks like a lot of fun! I've always wanted either a JZ, or a RB swapped in my NA..

[1994toyotasupra]

Fucking awesome exhaust

[SamuliS]

Love the flap on top of the pipe, trucker style! Go and burn those vette's :D

[Wopadas]

what is the weight distribution like on it?

[sbghms]

@Wopadas 90:10

[accordv6er]

@Wopadas Just a wild guess, prob not too far off stock. Depends on passengers, but the stock is iron block and motor. I think the 2JZ is similar weight. I know that an LS swap is almost if not lighter than the stock BPZE

[Nettikturbo]

You aren't running out of injector bud. No tunless you're making about 460whp at 12 psi on a bone stock GE with a single conversion. You're probaly making about 300-315 whp here.

[bighum70]

Baaad assss.....Surprising quiet. More pleeeaseeee
