in all honesty all those videos were sick as hell. there comes a point though that there is a such thing as too much power. if you want your car to be a highway monster than the 2jz would be the way to go. once you go turbo though you know your days of taking high speed corners is over. all you need to do is gas it too much in the corner and have it start building boost and your ass is in the wall. traction is one of the hardest things to get in a 2 wheel drive cars. i think that you can turbo the motor that you have in your car now and make it a beast that will be more practical for daily driving. 400 hp in your car would be insane. i know you know that guy that had the yellow s2 that had cf trunk and hood with the 35r set up on his. although i never saw it in action i'm sure it was a fucking beast. i think it would cheaper as well to turbo the motor you have in in now, but at the same time the 2jz comes with a baller status too. in the end it's def up to you, but either choice will lead to a nasty fast car.

well its obviously not going to be anytime soon that i do this. i just want to get the ideas together now. And the car wont be a daily driver at that point anyway so thats not going to matter to me. plus i can sell my motor and drivetrain for a good penny, so that will get some money back

im with chris on this one man. it would defenately be sick as hell, but so far from practical. i say, if you want the nastie-ness of something like that then just boost your motor with all supporting mods. if you want to be different, than id say go with the 2jz . although i dont know how popular a swap like this is? or you can just be the man, and put a 2jz in a miata? lol

haha or buy a miata an do an F20c swap? hahah. i mean it would be sweet to boost my motor but the 2jzgte swap would be pretty promising. its a long time before i do anything, its just some ideas. i kinda feel like sean actually now talking about this all. ahaha

2jz no shit! that would be hot as hell, maybe the best route would be to get your goal of payin off the car outa the way and go from there. by that time iam sure they will be all sorts of crazy things for your car out there even more then there is now. seems like people are pushing the limit everyday. that being said lets do the swap this weekend! lol

yea i mean the 2jz idea would be insane but in all reality are you ever going to need that much for what you want out of it. i mean a stock turboed s2k are nasty for pretty cheap and like said before it would still keep its drivability.
