Unleash the Beast Under the Hood – JDM Style
At JDM Project, we live and breathe Japanese performance. One of the best ways to take your JDM build to the next level? A legendary engine swap. Whether you're chasing track times, drifting perfection, or just want to turn heads at your local meet, swapping in the right engine can totally transform your ride.
Here’s our list of the Top 7 Engine Swaps, ranked from #7 to the ultimate #1, for pure JDM fun and performance:
7. F20C/F22C (Honda S2000)
240hp from a naturally aspirated 2.0L? Absolutely. These screamers love high RPMs (up to 9,000!) and are perfect for lightweight builds. Ideal for Miatas, classic Civics, or even something wild like a Kei car.
6. 13B-REW (Mazda RX-7 FD3S)
A rotary that revs to the moon and sounds like nothing else on the road. Lightweight, responsive, and totally unique. Just be prepared: rotary life comes with its own quirks and maintenance rituals.
5. 1JZ-GTE (Toyota Soarer/Chaser)
The often-overlooked sibling of the 2JZ. It's slightly lighter, more affordable, and still capable of big power. A favorite in Chasers and a great swap for RWD conversions.
4. SR20DET (Nissan Silvia/180SX)
The OG turbo 4-cylinder for S-chassis builds. Reliable, easy to tune, and keeps your Nissan feeling authentic. Great for drift setups or street builds on a budget.
3. K20/K24 (Honda Civic/Integra/Accord)
The modern swap king. Lightweight, efficient, and backed by a huge aftermarket, K-swaps are popping up everywhere — from CRXs to MR2s and even classic Euro builds.
2. RB26DETT (Nissan Skyline GT-R R32/R33/R34)
Born from motorsport, made famous by the GT-R. This twin-turbo inline-6 is capable of serious power with just a few mods. Iconic sound, incredible tuning potential, and straight-up JDM legend status.
1. 2JZ-GTE (Toyota Supra MK4)
The undisputed king. Bulletproof internals, massive aftermarket support, and capable of 1,000+hp when built right. Whether in a Supra, IS300, or swapped into an old Corolla, the 2JZ always delivers.
Bonus JDM Fact
Did you know the 2JZ-GTE was originally developed for the luxury-oriented Toyota Aristo before becoming a tuning icon in the Supra? Its over-engineering turned out to be a gift to car culture.
