I came across this on a forum that I frequent. Apparently the engine mounts on the 2JZ matches perfectly with the LNF (ecotec) engine; and the stock Aisin transmission! I would love to have a Saturn Sky with a 2JZ engine (essentially a Solstice with a prettier face)



Was told I oughta post this up on here, so here goes...

Recap of a couple night's ago with some pics.

any videos of this beast if its true and works

[Santofu]

Wow, it'll be like Solstice is on crack!

[too_slow]

It is still a 'work in progress.'

The build page is here: (I'm not sure if it's OK to post a link to another car forum..)

There are pics on pg3 that shows how the engine mounts are bolted up directly.

[Nightwalker]

YES PLZ!

I love Saturn Skys

[too_slow]

^Me too.. but the trunk really pisses me off.. it has like 7.9cubic ft of space.. where as a MX5 has close to 10.. You can fit two hand carriers in the MX5 and still have some space left..

[Redlines_Daily]

2JZ engine, no shit... :fullofwin:

[ilvtofu]

Damn that LNF is already a pretty good motor, direct injection and all that. I always wanted to swap one into my car lol. Then again 2JZ is just beast

[vitaminG]

Still only about half as ridiculous as this

[Culverin]

Why do they want the soltice as a platform?

[KVG]

Thats awesome!:fullofwin: that would be so much fun!

[The_AK]

thats gangster

[monkeywrench]

A 2J in anything is full of win

[LW]

2JZ engine, no shit... :fullofwin:

Hahaha yea. This still isn't quite as strange as the first gen Camaro 2JZ swap...couldn't quite get past the sound...just didn't fit.

[originalhypa]

Nice swap!
The car has a ton of potential, it's just that shitty little motor they put in doesn't cut it. Ecotecs can be powerful as hell, but nothing beats displacement.

Like this turbo LS7 version.
