Nope, not gonna swap.

There's more then enough room. It's been done and it fits. I shouldn't preach that it's as easy as a H22 in a eg, but it's about as complicated as a RSX in an eg. It's a matter of re-welding the mounts....and some other stuff h:

The only 2JZ-powered Solaras I've seen are tube frame drag cars with the engine still mounted north-south, like such:

Toyota doesn't make a transaxle that mates to the 2JZ. You'd have to use some kind of fwd transaxle and make a custom bellhousing, or at least an adapter, to get it to work.

Not to mention that a north-south inline six is a whole lot longer than an east-west V6 is wide.

The only east-west mounted I6 that I know of is Volvo's and they have a special transaxle mounted to the side of it that's super low profile so as to fit next to the engine.

Stock NA and compared to more cylinders, it's small. Compared to other 4's, it's got some sort of bragging rights. But hp per liter is still lacking. It should itch 100 hp per liter N/A stock to be a strong motor IMO. Which is why Honda still stands alone - hope my solara doesn't hear that h:

...BTW, haven't seen to many Blowers that produce such an enhancement on a 4...you'll have no prob pullin on unsuspecting drivers of many types.

engines are produced for different reasons. thats all im going to say at this point.

A 4cyl camry with 100hp/liter would not be the same camry that is is now/meant to be. And i say that for better and for worse. but im hoping this was obvious.. so disregard what i just said had it been..

The Solara can never lose!

the 240sx has a 2.4 liter 4 cyclinder engine that's why it's called the two-forty KA24DE!
