so im in the procces of swapping a 2jz motor into a e30 (1987-90 bmw).i have everything down packed when it comes to the wiring ect..ect.. ive ben thinking of mating the 2j to the e30 getrag tranny using a home made plate!! same concept as the h2b plates.so far i know i need to fabricate the plate and a spacer for the flywheel.theres only 2 things im wondering and would greatly appreciate some input!! what do you guys think would be a good solution for the flywheel?? the 2jz has a 6 bolt crank and the e30 has a 8 bolt!! i was thinking have the holes of the e30 flywheel filled and drilled out with the 2jz 6 bolt patern! what do you guys think of that?? and another issue is the starter any ideas??

here are some pics for reference!

why not simplify everything and get a 6speed 2jz trans

 

because i dont have 3.5k to dish out for the v160 getrag.the other route would be to get a 2jz bell wousing for a r145 or w38 but that would still cost me over 800$ just for the tranny and housing.not to mention i have the e30 tranny.

 

man i know people often mate the 2jz to corvette trans maybe look that up and see there ways of setting up the starter and flywheel

 

ill deff look that up! thanks for the tip

 

Anyone else out there with any tips? Ideas?
