Research

I was just looking for some vets personal experience on the "general" cost to do a 2JZ swap for a SC 300.

I'm not asking anyone to price everything out for me, but I'm about to get a second job to try and fund this in about a year (hopefully sooner). So a "real world" budget is needed.

What ballpark dollar amount do you think someone looking to do this swap (and not half-*** it) is looking at?

Actually have a friend that built himself a garage on his land and has a lift so some labor I will do myself. No fun just writing checks. But I would rather assume leaving that out that way I may end up with more money for it than I need as opposed to coming up short.

Any help would be greatly appreciated so I can put pen to paper and set a realistic goal.

Thanks in advance

It's already done for you. 2JZ-GE

Oh, you want the turbo engine. 2JZ-GTE
Search 2JZ-GTE or 1JZ-GTE it's been covered many times.

It's hard to price this stuff. How fast can you afford to go??

Well basically throw out a number you want to spend and then we'll be able to tell you. It's a number of factors involved, mainly your power goal then if whatever transmission you go with can handle it etc.......

I was a little vague, wasn't I.

The number that pops into my head is $10K. I really want to shoot for 350-450 wheel horsepower. Like the screen name implies I'm researching so still have a ways to go. Ie, I'm assuming a rear end swap would be rquired for that kind of HP to be streetable.

I would absolutely love to get get a 6spd for it but from alot of my reading that would be well over a 1/3rd of my 10K budget. So theres always the 5 spd to fall back on.

Did some searching on here, but theres a distinct lack of threads that really give any idea of a real dollar amount that I found. I may have come across a few but they get dilluted pretty quickly with " Z0mg!11!1 I totally would drift that. Does it have a turbo" type comments.

Thanks for the questions and appreciate the response.

Around $7000 for a bare-bones swap, $10000 is about right to make 350-450 whp.
