Scrap “you gonna ls swap that thang?” It’s now “you gonna barra swap that thang?” Barra swap the world! It really is the Australian 2JZ. Great work on the swap btw! Saw it at the meet and it’s a lot tighter of a fit than it seems on camera. And a whole lot bigger!
great video rex, good to see you pass on the knowledge you lernt, the only way you will learn is by doing things and its great to see you give back to community and pass on that knowledge, add chapters to the video though....
The only thing about turboing a green top Barra is that the piston ring gaps and valve seats are set up for gas because gas is dryer than petrol and when you put big power through them the ring gaps can close up and break pistons. so be careful with yours rex.
Cheers for the info. Im restoring a Pontiac TransAm 84 (special project) & considering a barra (would love a 'gull' but impossible to find) instead of putting an LSx in there
Hi. New here. Few questions. Why gas motor? Is most of this content relevant because it’s a gas motor? Wanting to do an EL Barra auto swap aiming for 400bhp. So is it OK to just do a Barra petrol engine and box swap drop in?
Quick question that shop called that took your Air conditioning lines and power steering line called. Also who Engineer your EF I'm in Victoria I need to get some advice from an Engeer that's done this kinda of stuff with E series and u swap the K Frame??
Go barra. LS engines are a pain in the ass for 350z swaps. (Yes I know there is a shit Ton of aftermarket support for this swap) the biggest issue is getting the headers to fit. But that mf 350z trans can work 🤣
Don't you need to remove some material from the sump to fit it on an e series crossmember? The au motor you need to grind the fins off the sump to clear the cross member. I thought barra was the same
