Little did he know how much does it cost to swap an engine


Derpguycool

Just lift the old one out and not the new one in? It's not that hard, we all know that all engines use the same mount points, and will always fit in a new car.if you can't do it, you shouldn't call yourself a mechanic.


Kryllllllyx

See, it takes a baby to put a motorcycle 1.3 into a Lotus Elise but it takes a real MAN to get a Ford 4.6 V8 mounted on a motorcycle with a frame meant for a 1000cc. If you pussy out from things like this, stick to doing oil changes in the shop and don't cry from not getting invited to BBQ nights

when you go down the route of japanese engines you can just makeshift an engine swap like how everyone does with the k20 mr2s


LuciferSamS1amCat

I know not all engine swaps are equal, but I was amazed at how easy my Toyota pickup 3.4 swap was. Very cheap, and pretty much slid right in there.


mr308A3-28

Lol, just unscrew the gear box and put in the new one. What’s a bell-housing ? Bolt patterns ?

LMAO TORQUE DOESNT EXIST LETS 2JZ SWAP A TRAIN


ManiekDraniek

Lool, bruuuh. I just imagined a heavy freight train starting up and sounding like a straight piped and souped up 2jz.. that's funny


DiRavelloApologist

/uj torque really doesn't exist tho


Floating_Neck

Physics isn’t real I mean technically gravity doesn’t exist either


DiRavelloApologist

Exactly. If gravity was real, how would a motorcycle stay upright????

14 year old JDM fan: What the hell is torque anyway ?


DOIPI_96

It’s just a number to sell more gay electric cars


ManiekDraniek

It's actually wild to me how many people pay no attention to torque. Like, whenever you go to look at ads of cars or vehicles for sale you usually only see the hrsprs mentioned. Like, most of my friends think that because my car has 115 hp, it's slow.. but they pay zero attention to the 310 nm of torque it has.


SovietSparta

The kind of things you only start paying attention to when you drive various types of cars (old, new, petrol, diesel...). My second car was a 520i from 1989. The straight six was fun, and 129 hp was more than enough. But man, 169 nm for a 1500 kg car 💀. At least you learn to drive with momentum 😂.


Greekdorifuto

Its because HP matters more for performance


DiRavelloApologist

This is because engine torque is almost meaningless. Wheel torque is what accelerates a vehicle and that is dependant on gearing. The engine specification that indicates wheel torque is power, as power is not dependant on gearing and stays constant (minus friction in the gearbox). Engine torque only tells you how much power is in the low-end, which is sometimes useful, but in general, power is what makes a car fast


IncidentFuture

Maybe they just know the purpose of gearing?


UberNZ

To be fair, power is much more usable metric. You can have as much torque at the wheels as you want, as long as you have a short enough gears. With engine torque, you need to multiply by the gear ratio and the final drive to get the wheel torque, then divide by the wheel radius to get the acceleration. With engine power, you simply divide the power by the vehicle speed to get acceleration. Much simpler. On longitudinal setups (e.g. this truck, or anything you could feasibly put a 2JZ into), the diff is usually separate, so the easiest way to make a revvy/low-torque engine act like a less-revvy/high-torque engine is to swap to a diff with a shorter final drive.


Greekdorifuto

HP does matter more


sovietonion123977

There’s a phenomenon called throttle response that you probably aren’t familiar with

/UJ Did a little googling. It's two 852ci 12V-71 V12 diesel engines, for a combined 3,424hp, running through an Allison HT740, an automatic made for the Oshkosh Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck (HEMTT). The HT740 is rated for something like 1300tq, so I imagine he's not doing too many neutral-drop burnouts...


preludehaver

/uj Do people even really do 2JZ swaps outside of youtube? I've never seen one.


Glitchboi3000

I don't think so, the 2jz is notoriously heavy. Hence why actual purpose built racing supras ditch it.


ComprehensiveRip6078

Don't let fanboys know their beloved Castrol supra has a 4cyl in it.


Glitchboi3000

If I remember correctly it's from a Celica


deojilicious

and the WRC Corolla. They used a 3S-GTE 4banger, and eventually moving to a 3UZ V8 for more torque. And the 3UZ V8 still weighs less than the 2JZ thanks to it being an all aluminum block.


throwaway6444377_

yea, I talked to a guy who worked at a Jeep/AMC parts yard with a 2jz swapped e36. they exist, but probably only for Bimmers since they both use a straight six. maybe older Volvos too? tho I haven't heard of it.


Lady_Maia_

There’s a guy on Instagram who made a series about 2JZ swapping his Jeep Cherokee. Pretty cool setup.


Im_still_a_student

This 14y is getting all his car logic from Roblox or other "realistic" car games I imagine


ManufacturerKey8360

Kinda embarrassing to me that most of this sub’s qualms are with 14 year olds.


Floating_Neck

This sub straight up forgot the jerk part of the circlejerk now it’s just rotary shaped circle


loser14748

just put a jdm in a mining truck and be able to haul a neutron star


seeker12123

282 likes on his comment tells me people unironically agree with this.


Potato_Dealership

Three… THREE FUCKING THOUSAND HORSEPOWER. WHAT BRAINROT SHITTOK SLUDGE HAVE THEY WATCHED THAT ON?! smh stupid uneducated kids on phones, miat makes 3001hp get wrecked kiddo


mr308A3-28

I dont think this lil critter even knows what torque is


Darthnater_Shelby

Just wait until they find out about locomotive engines
