*a 2JZ swapped G is dope af! I️ love that color too and it looks great with the gold wheels!*

[@dekat5417]

Not sure which i favor more... 2Jz or VQ. 2Jz is a dyno queen for sure, but i mean.... VQ is fucking beast. Was the Skyline motor for a long while (G35 is a skyline).

[@raymonpersaud4780]

b00st3d BMW jkllttyuuuuui8oopoookoooooooooooo

[@koreandude81]

A 2J is only a dyno queen if the builder ignored the aero & mechanical grip of the vehicle. Power is usless w/o traction for any vehicle.

[@GabGab1213]

Wait what? no , the VQ was not in any skyline. the RB's were. and its only the 350 Skyline Gt in japan.

[@mainscrizz]

GabGab1213 you mean the whole world lol. It's only the g35 in US etc.

[@rv9990]

"There is almost nothing done to the 2JZ..." 30 seconds later. "It makes 600HP".

[@sporkinstien6571]

Well a regular 2jz can take alot of boost without needing upgrades so I assume he was referring to the engine only and not the turbo lol

[@Krel-888]

yes sir, 2jz power man. simple bolt on, slap a turbo in it, it'll produce a lot of power.

[@Pii-RuCryptoCuhThroat]

It's not built, it literally has basic bolt ons. My EcoBoost with similar mods gets 400whp, so 600 on stock set up is very stout

[@TheDjSarkastik]

This car has the 2jz GTE meaning it comes with a turbo from factory. unless you mean slap a bigger turbo in it, in which case you'll make all the power in the world.

[@anicetus_]

I personally know the owner, he had a wastegate problem which limited him to just 600hp, he should be making around 900 afterwards.

Mohamed Hussein you’re welcome!

[@DBS5755]

That is the most badass G35 I've seen in a while. The owner or shop who did the swap really needs to produce a build video or walkthrough! We need 2JZ I'm every car!!

[@philipholman1713]

Love my g35 but what a headache it's been. Both window motors went, the driver window is off the track somewhere, the sunroof is broken, and my air-conditioning/stereo ( an odd combo to tie together) just crapped out Friday. I've been dreaming about a swap but it appears cheaper or same price as buying a built longblock vq. With the economy it's only a dream but I'm hoping one day it will be a reality. Seeing builds like this is what keeps the flame burning. Nice car!

[@TeamTowingChanneL]

The sound is perfect....... Symphony of power hats off to that guy

[@VHBEngines]

Was one of the first cars I ever drooled over. Finally got to own one but was short lived. Would def like to try again and go this route. The car is amazing be seriously needs more power

[@RubenLopez-oy7lj]

This video made me a believer of the g35. It made me immediately begin researching Craigslist for chassis along with eBay for 2jz/1jz engines. Then I joined a forum to look into the swaps and some of what's needed. Thanks Mr.Patterson for what I find to be the best review you've ever done. The look of amazement sold me.

[@chucklos391]

The G35 Coupe platform is just utterly gorgeous. Any mods done clean with added serious power takes this car to breathtaking levels. The car in this video takes your breath away. Power. Aesthetics. Very well done.

[@Sauci_4k]

What do you do when you wanna build a g35 on a budget? Spend 20k on a 2jz swap 😂

[@killakam123321]

Thats what I was saying he could of just swapped a built vq37vhr or de in there for half the price with a turbo kit and be making more than 600 hp but it is different tho

[@jabinibanez3641]

Thank you you caught that too. What. What the budget? U mean when you can't afford to swap bottom ends of the block with a gtr to handle insane boost

[@alexgarza7377]

The G35 hasn't aged 😍

[@Revitalyzed]

It's crazy cause I saw the dyno video of this two days prior to this video, and all of a sudden you're driving it! Without a shadow of doubt, one of the cleanest G35 builds ever. Perfect power, perfect motor, perfect colour combo. Just everything is amazing on this.

[@edgarduran8747]

“Pretty near stock” “650hp” I wanna know where to get a nearly stock 650hp 2j

[@Jay_P86]

Edgar Duran lol right? That’s more than double the horsepower than a stock G

[@One_LuvZ]

Stock 2jz internals are capable in making those numbers as long as fuel, timing, and tune are up to snuff

[@Built2Fast]

Edgar Duran Add a bigger turbo... Without sleeved block, with upgrades pistons, springs, cams, etc.. I would say that is certainly a lot of power. Bet he upgraded that fuel system though AND on e85 (which adds in another extra 100hp to a good tune anyway)

[@jabinibanez3641]

No shit. How about he says when u dont have the money to make your vq fast your somehow have enough for a 2jz swap. Wtf?

[@jabinibanez3641]

@@Jay_P86 these motors can take maxing out the turbo on stock intenals. So ecu tune. Uping the boost will get you a lot more power. IDK how much

How much did it cost in total

[@xoticbullzz4654]

How much was it??

[@aaronfranulovich]

Well I didn’t exactly go the budget route. If you’re doing a swap and single turbo conversion at the same time you’re looking at 25k just in parts for sure.

[@Alex-bq3dx]

Please never stop! @thatdudeinblue your review vids got me back into JDM several years ago

[@DaveDuzzit]

5:06 the VQ was actually designed around shortening the overall length of the motor, and move more engine mass towards the center of the chassis, as it's 2 rows of 3cyl. I'm actually surprised the straight 6 fits as well as it does.

Damn, the G coupe is a great looking car, looks much better than the generation of Supra the 2JZ came out of, but the 2JZ has to be one of the best if not the best engine in its class of its time... That engine is damned near bulletproof... That shit looks bad ass...

Nathan Montz I've always wanted to 2j swap mine tbh

[@StayDrivenMedia]

Yea for the price of a whole kit you can find a whole 2j motor out there and do more power

[@nathanmontz1935]

VQ is too limited, the Supra is my favorite car of all time and the 2J is my favorite engine. Hope to have one soon. The G35 is a great car but it would be 1000x better with a 2J, why spend 8k on a greddy twin turbo kit and then build the motor when a 2J is so much easier and can bolt to the CD009.
