Yes agreed on all those variables as well, but lets be honest most people who do engine conversions will not bother about changing spring rates , damper settings, load\\weight distribution etc etc.

They will just plonk the engine in by hook or by crook and say job done

But that is not down to you to dictate though?. At the end of the day, not everyone will want the last vestiges of steering response, sharp yaw behavior handling - that is a subjective matter.

The 2JZ (or any decent inline 6) will give that inline 6 sound and the smooth surging power delivery of one, if someone wants that in combination of the FD\'s body, then why not?

They will keep the same suspension setup , weight distribution etc etc as the stock setup which is setup for the rotary as Mazda designed, hence why most engine conversions will understeer into a hedge lol

And if they did do it properly eg moving the 2jz further back, sitting the engine lower, custom subframe,custome spec coilover suspension, sump, redistributing ancliaries and the like,corner weighting etc etc, it would cost a pretty penny and it would be cheaper by miles by keeping the rotary and modifying correctly with a single turbo conversion to 500bhp

Understeer is not caused by having large engines mounted at the front, it is caused by loadings and the contact patch sizes of the front relative to the rears and this variates when you are accelerating or braking.

Use wider front tyres, you reduce the slip angles and increase contact patch area. Contact patch area will not give you more grip since you got more mass to deal with, but it will not lose grip (understeer) as you have more mass to load that extra contact patch area with.

But at the end of the day, if someone just wants a 2JZ for the sake of having it, then the discussion here about handling is more or less now moot.

I dunno, I can think of a few things worse... bad losers for a start :rolleyes: Then a pretty broad spectrum of worse things with like paedophiles at one end and people who desecrate perfectly good RX-7s by putting stupidly unsuited engines in them at the other :Nono!

What has peadophilia has to do with a 2JZ engine swap?

Honestly you have issues and trying disguise it as internet wit is a bit sad IMO.

I was perfectly calm, and I did use my brain. That\'s why my reply was funny, unlike yours that tbh was so dull I can\'t even remember the middle part ten seconds after reading it :Snoring.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by again, don\'t let the door hit you as you leave :WaveBye

Nothing worse than a bad comedian.

To state that balanced weight distribution is a meaningless paradigm shows at least respectable grasp of lanugage but extremely poor understanding of motor vehicle dynamics.

I said the 50:50 weight distribution is a meaningless paradigm, are the spring rates going to be equal? What about with driver on board and fuel? What about the distribution during cornering? Corner exit? Braking? What about the load distribution when you take account of lift or downforce? Different load distributions will alter the way how a car corners, brakes or accelerates, there is no ideal or "balanced" number - it is not as simple as that.

I will stop there because ...

To be honest, if you want to make yourself look daft on the internet, could you not just post a video of youself on YouTube with your c0ck out like everyone else and leave us here on the Rotary forum alone? It\'d probably be better for all of us

Now I don\'t need to address every sentence of bolleux you just posted at me, simply because you have demonstrated that resorting to personal jibes have completely undermined whatever arguement regarding the topic you are trying to make here.

I dont need to tell you that you\'re wrong, you can do that yourself if you actually calm down and use your brain before posting.

Whats worse then sticking a V8 into a FD? yip sticking a 2JZ into it, I think I just threw up in my mouth, at least a LS V8 you have a chance of keeping a 50:50 weight distribution.

An LS1 is nearly as long as a 2JZ - weight difference is negligable when you factor in accessories and fluids.

50:50 weight distribution is a meaningless paradigm, and the worse thing than stating things well out of context is to .... on someone\'s bonfire with misinformation!

If someone one wants a 2JZ, let them!

can you have stance and handling at the same time on the rex?

i used endless brake pads, they are the best pads money can buy for street driving!

In my experience i wont buy cheap copy turbos again!

buy real jap turbo parts, you will not regret it.
