Thats awsome, why you ask, why bloody not, the thing would scream, I went in one years ago with a pos 4 cyl na which was pretty fast, would sound sweet to opened up.

if that thing sinks i think i'd cry....

well der car boats have been done before... half of the asian boats are made like this....

But has anyone seen a 2jz with a big single top mount on it before on a dodgey boat like this? I think not

Is it just me or does that boat look like a prime candidate for filling with water the first time he nails the throttle?

I've run up and down many rivers in Asia (especially Thailand) (and in the ocean occasionally) on boats like this... they go like stink in a straight line, expescially the big ones on Mae Naam Chao Phraya that can seat about 20 people... but because the direction of push from the propeller is centered in the motor about 1m above the waterline, they have to stop and just edge the boat a little bit at a time to turn it... when they get it pointed where they want it, the drop the prop back into the water, open the taps, and they go like stink...

So any little runabout would eat them, since they can't turn, but they are great fun... kinda reminds me of all of the pussy drag cars, racing means cornering :D ...

BTW, they are generally built like this because of the shallow draft, and because there is usually a lot of floating weeds in the river, so they can easily lift to prop out of the water to clear it...

ya but the 2jz is still more reliable than 2 F440 engines lol....

Why the hell would you waste those engines on an ugly red boat?

Because you have that much money you have weird dreams and then go "you know what, im going to get some one to build that". lol.

Also millionairs have Ferrari's, other millionairs have big boats, then there is billionaires that build ferrari boats.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
