F20c GT30 turbo setup or a 2JZ swap?
I have a decision to make before April of this year. Its either going to be a complete PFAB stage 2 GT3076r turbo setup (roughly 500hp at 17psi) or do a 2JZ swap. I have a guy (who owns a shop) that can import me a perfectly fine 2jz motor with a single turbo setup with low mileage for under 4K. The question is, is it worth it? I mean i love my f20 and i know the potential these cars have as i have been a tuner for a long time, but i suppose im just trying to get other peoples opinions on the 2jz swap. Preferably those who have it done or know people that have had it done. Thanks guys.

personally, if you want a 2jz.....get a supra. The swap obv. can be done and im not going to deny the fact that it does look good, but what about reinforcing the front end after taking out the cross member. I say go with a turbo f20 or if you want 2jz buy a supra, but its obv. entirely up to you!
Good luck with your decision.

turbo f20 will be a lot cheeper
2JZ will make you cry while trying to get it installed then you'll regret spending all the money. 2JZ is just not worth it. That's what most people will say.

inlinepro rear kit(which is a nissan 300zx diff. and aftermarket axles) is popular for big hp. numbers, there is also puddymod rear end. and for lower power people use comptech I beleave.

yea i been looking at the inlinepro kit. the only problem is that it doesnt even include the rear end, it just's the conversion kit according to the website. anybody seen the ScienceofSpeed reinforced rear end?

yah, that is a pita that it doesnt include the diff. But I am sure one can be found online on a 300zx forum or somewhere.....I dontk now about the sos diff. I do know they make many good products so im sure this wouldnt be any different. No expierence though.
