Hi Guys,New member here, I joined up to find out more info about JZing my 97 728 petrol. The 2.8 engine is gone so looking to JZ it instead.Has it ever been done before? Anybody on here ever do it? Looking for more info on the engine swap. Custom mounts and wiring? Fitting issues? Structural work to the 728?If anybody could help me out or point me in the right direction i'd be much obliged!Thank you in advance!
 
Spartacus, you can go and visit Albert Fang (WP Auto) 0122017792 He has a customer with a 2JZ 3.0cc in an E38. You can get all the answers that you want from him.

I think most JZ engine swap due to quest for more power w/out breaking the bank.... me.. I just like the sound of BMW's inline 6.....

to me it's sacrilege to do it.. to a bmw flagship saloon.. imagine doing it into a e60..
 
Would you have the heart to do that in E38????

Sometimes too creative also bad .....buat jahanam kebenda......
.... can easily locate workshops doing modification for UDM in Butterworth .
Still keeping the original sound of engine e30 /e36/e39/e38
 
wow.. a JZ in a bmw.. tempting..

but i have to pass that as i have done a few 1 and 2 JZ before in my cressidas and supra.. i do not think its a balance for a bmw as the power delivery .. torque and weight. is totally different..

the cast iron block of teh JZ is much heavier than the aluminum block for BMWs.. thus ur car will loose that 50:50 weight distribution...

but.. if you are only going to whack it on highway.. so what!! just do it.. LOL
