So far em2's only swap option is K series... Does anyone know if the j-series would work?

 

[SHG_James]

due to the size of our engine bay, cutting will have to be done, sadly.

 

[guitar4ya]

Yea that sux.. Maybe someone will do it.. That would be sick to have a v6 em2 lol...

 

[SHG_James]

yep that would be pretty sick.

 

[guitar4ya]

I know next to nothing about the j-series swap, but I've heard a guy around here where I live that has one never seen it though. It's in a hatch... What kind of cutting you think we'd be looking at?

 

[SHG_James]

well maybe the top radiator support will need to come off. if you have a k24 swap with the rbc intake manifold this already has to be done. and then there's hood and firewall clearance

 

[guitar4ya]

yea someone should measure and see if it's worth trying.

 

[homelessEM2]

its always worth tryin, wheather it fits or not lol

already one step ahead of u guys.. i was looking into this when i first saw that this was being done into the hatchs..... did a few measurments..

it seems to fit.. however it looks like but not to sure unless i can actually drop one in.. either the radiator might have to either be moved to where the a/c condernser is so ur gona lose a/c OR use a half size to move it off to the side...

cause if the motor doesnt move forward to the front its gona hit the steering wheel rack.. idk.. im looking for a J motor locally for the past 5 months now.. so once i find one i can tell u for sure...

wit the rbc u have to cut the rad supposrt cause it sticks out to far forward like this

however wen u do the J swap theres nothing really sticking out that far... u got the exhaust headers in the front.. but if u look at these motors u will notice that it jus goes straight down and doesnt stick out like the rbc mani

jus speculation... haha.. kinda makes u wonder if the guys at hasport already tried

 

[guitar4ya]

Yea... I mean k series are bad ass, but I'd like to have more options for swap into an em2 than just that. I guess any motor can go in any car with the right money but who knows. Post up when you find the motor...

gauges functional, motor running turbo h22 swapped EM2 build

[SHG_James]

is hasport working on v6 mount kits for the EM2 chassis?

 

[homelessEM2]

doubtful

 

[xproductionz]

for one thats too tight of a fit.. look how close the crank pulley is next to the subframe.. next thing u have to take out is a/c and the RADIATOR.. hmm.. looks like something that had to be relocated to the front of the car between the bumper and bumper support....


then theres legal issues.. if u swap a older motor into a newer chassis.. its illegal to swap it.. unless u find an h22 thats newer than ur car


then u got wiring issues.. seems like ur gona have to take the whole dash and engine harness and swap it out... then u gotta rewire the gauge cluster to work wit the B-series ecu... if not then u might as well swap in an older cluster from the h22 car so u dont have to do much..

idk.. i think its jus to much custom stuff... more work.. and so forth to get a h22 in there.. i can swap a K into ur car in a day compared to the H22 swap.

btw.. it took him almost 4 months of researching the schmeatics and diagrams and custom fabing to get it running


other than that much props to him and his work

 

[SHG_James]

h22? i thought we were talking about v6's lol

 

[guitar4ya]

I was just on here wondering where this thread had gone that I started. Looks like that h22 thing is pretty much a little too much effort for most lol... Back to the topic at hand tho, anyone find anything out about this swap yet in the last few months?

 

[heyy]

Js are not longer nor are they wider than a k20 with intake and exhaust.. i dont know why so many people think they are.... they're just taller

back from the dead... i might have somethign in the works.. jus talk right now on getting the motor.. might be some custom mounts being made on my end

 

[guitar4ya]

Any new info??
