Icon2 j series swap ?

does anyone make mounts for 01 to 05

and do they make kits to swap the j's with auto trannys?


i did a search but "j" is removed so i just get "series engine swap" which brings up nothing relevent

You'd have to contact them to find out. I haven't even seen a J swapped 01-05 yet. Only B, H, and K swaps.

K20a.org has a thread committed to j swaps if you didn't already know. I doubt anyone has tried to j swap this unpopular chassis yet. You could be the first! =D

I've looked into it, it's a lot of work. The motor will hit the hydraulic steering rack, so you need to convert it to the EP3 Si electric rack, which may or may not work easily. Your hood will not shut either.

That's as far as I've gotten, I'm probably going to do a GT28RS D17A2 instead.

Useless j swap. I've seen turbo ones but who the hell wants to drive around with no hood and have horrible handling.

But yes its something different.

The J30A4 only weighs 46 pounds more than a K24A2.

^^^^yup weighs like 250lb or something like that

i bet it would handle very well

and i would make a custom cowl hood or something to hide the motor

but i think it looks cool sticking out of the hood anyways lol

I looked at the ep3 rack and it looks like it might be an easy swap a little modding
