FWIW, you only need 450hp in an S2000 to equal a 600 hp GTR's power/weight...
2JZ is a big heavy engine, and it's LONG. Weight will suffer, weight distribution will suffer, and polar moment of inertia will suffer relative to a turbo'd F2X.

Frankly, for 600 hp you should start with a different car, like a Corvette, or I dunno, Supra.
I appreciate the custom factor and uniqueness but with the cost of the fab work, plus the cost of the engine, plus the cost of the car, this swap is a waste of time and money. Just wait till the C6 Z06 drops in price to about 30-35k and pick it up( this is actually my plan btw) 600 whp NA is pretty easy with h/e/c/tune.

Lol, English ain't my first language... Did have an s2k but never went into performance mods, plus an engine swap is a different ball game. Inread that to fit the 2J you need to remove a piece in the engine bay design to reinforce the chassis....
I thought the swap if doable is more unique, less expensive, and gives me room for more power in the future if I change my mind, lol

Boost the f22 get an inline pro 300zx rear diff and should be good. Of course needs lots of other parts but that rear end will suit your needs.
