Well for starters you need;

Engine 1500-2500
Gearbox 1000 (r154)
Brake upgrade
Mount kit
Tail shaft
Computer
Intercooler if running turbo
Custom exhaust

By the time you've got the parts I dare say the better part of 10000 has been spent.

Then engineering it for qld.
Fuel system
Wiring
Etc
Best bet as I can help a fair bit, would be to talk to a workshop ie mercury or east coast customs.

But I hope you realise your biggest hurdle will be size as you're going from a v6 to a I6

I think a tape measure might crush your dreams.....
A JZ is 725mm long and nearly 600mm high, might want to check the size of your 300's engine bay.

exactly

a simple problem with a complicated solution, the JZ engine is too big for the 300's already cramped engine bay. It barely fits in a 3 liter v6, never mind a 3 liter I6.

just get a supra if you really want to fap over jz series engines

opened this thread to say exactly that.

Why not just run a VG30DETT? I hear they fit easily enough.

gutless

It can fit(not easily) but you will end up with the same overheating problems as having a VG in the bay or worse imo.

Have you thought about going LS1 conversion? Has been done a few times and you can get the kit (adaptors both wireing and mounts) from the states. Looked into it when I blew the VG30DETT in my old one.

Didn't end up doing it as it was cheaper to go buy a V8 Commodore. But if I had the chance again I would do it.

yeahhh i know it fits and no a tape measure wont crush my dreams in this instance, but im just looking for more information on the conversion, like what kind of mods etc

Thanks a lot to the people who actually knew what they were talking about i appriciate that, decided to put another vg30 in it and spending the rest of the money on other goodies

This man (woman? Beast? Alien?) is right on the money.

saw this outcome coming a mile away. Thats not to say it isnt the best option. A conversion to another engine isnt always the easiest way, there are normally plenty of more logical and economical ways to gain power and fix the issue of having a busted engine. ANother VG30, and even a VG30DETT, would have been cheaper and easier in both short and long term, than a 2JZ.
Probably 1 in 100 boostcruising 'i want to put (insert random engine with no logical reason or thought structure about why it is the right engine for the job) into my (insert 20+ year old car that isnt worth the hassle)' threads actually result in the engine conversion taking place.
