- 2JZ-GTE Jaguar XJS test drive. This car has a 2JZ-GTE Aristo engine, with a 3 speed Turbo400 transmission! Lowered on 18" TSW wheels. Nitto NT05 tires, 235/40/18 rear, 265/35/18 rear. 18x8" front wheels, 18x9.5" rear wheels. It has a 5" core front mount intercooler. More horsepower then the old V12, and almost double the mpg!
This is a damn work of art, damn you! I am so jealous, but thank you for the idea! It makes perfect sense.
I don't usually condone stupid engine swaps, especially in to good cars like this, but the 2Js silky smooth straight six purr is so very Jag-like it works quite well. Same can't be said for the wheels though....
2jz's work in everything, I bet a GT-R would possibly benefit from one.
Having owned three XJ-S's and two Supra's all I can say is AWESOME!!!!!
Even I think this engine'll be ideal for a Big Healey or big British Saloon, like an Armstrong Siddley.
Best Engine to replace any RWD OLD JUNK MOTOR with!!!Most reliable/ Affordable
Actually, forced induction improves fuel efficiency, it also increases the engines capability to consume fuel.
That swap is not only to be condoned, but it should also be commended for blessing that cars cool design with some actual sustainability since they were absolute dogs when kept totally stock.
Personaly I would have kept the Jags V12 and tuned it up.
This car's V12 had rod knock, and blown headgasket/s, and an engine fire at some point in its history... I did this car a favor by pulling out that old boat anchor :)
well done job :)
"stupid engine swaps" lol This one made 317whp at 15psi for the baseline dyno, even through the power robbing TH400 (non-lockup) torque converter. I think it was a very successful swap.
Everyone who sees it loves the wheels, but wait till we finish the rest of the paint and body work and the wheels will make more sense.
Nice conversion. Really impressed. I have a xj6 with a sbc and t68 billet turbo. 2jz are monsters
Better then a STAAAG! ;D
nice
yeah man!! =D
Custom mounts etc or is there a kit? I had a 1uz now have a 1zz and planning for the 2jz
Nice rims, but get rid of that trunk spoiler. ☺
i want the jag emblem and the spoiler!
Nice! I just bought a 1992 XJS and I'm not sure which engine to swap into it. Did you purchase a conversion kit to do the swap and if so, which one? Also, what was the total cost of the conversion? Parts, and labor. I just need a ball park figure to aim for. Thanks!
What is the xjr's motor capable of, how much aftermarket support does it have, whats the reliability? 2JZ is capable of 900 HP before you even open it up and change the internals... After that the skies the limit! Whats not beneficial?
