mr Eps, I assume you don't live in melbourne, where you have your car inspected only once and never again for as long as its in your name, unless the police ask you to.

Its a common swap, and done because those engines are readily availble in those countries, unlike the RB (the closest they get to an RB is the RB20E which is an SOHC 2.0L N/A and the RB24S which is an inline 6 carby engine). With this in mind, its easier to do an RB25 or RB26DETT swap in a cef, however the 1JZ and 2JZ swaps are doable.

You'd best be asking on a thai ceffy forum like http://www.cefiro-thailand.com

Thankyou :rofl:

The car would be engineerable (is that a word ?) wouldnt it ? I assumed it would be the same as putting an RB25 in.

well im from perth and to the best of my knowledge (correct me if i'm wrong please) but i think it's un-engineerable (is THAT a word?) to have trans build engines in

like you can't put a lada niva motor into a mitsubishi lancer,

nor can you put an engine in that is older than the car's build date

ie: V35 skyline can't have an RB transplant etc,

over here you can put any engine into another as long as it meets ADRs, then an engineer will have to sign off on it to certify that the swap is legal. Usually costs about $500 - $800 to get done. Once that's done then the car is legal with that engine.

The other way that most people do it is rego the car with the engine its supposed to have in it, then do the swap. Engine swaps aren't a roadworthy issue, so the roadworthy shops won't care. It is illegal, but it happens a lot in VIC. The only time you can get caught out is if you have a cop go through your car, or you go to resell it and it needs to go through the registration process again.

Removing the Toyota markings from the surface, whos to know its a Toyota motor at the pits? I think is definately doable....

if you guys remember that Ferrari Enzo kitted 180sx that was on the J-Spec mailing list, it was bought by a guy in Syd who was gonna put a worked 2jz (out of his old silvia) in it.

    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
    • I see you've never had to push start your own car... You could save some weight right now...
    • Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
