C&Y Sports is no stranger to wild engine swap projects. Some of their past jobs include jamming RB26DETT's into both an SXE10 Altezza and an AE86 Levin. Their latest project is even crazier. In a move that is sure to get some flak from the "purists", C&Y is outfitting a Toyota 2JZGTE engine into a customer's KGC10 Skyline.
Don't think that this is just a simple swap with a mostly-stock engine for reliability purposes. Both the firewall and the transmission tunnel have been extensively modified to fit the 2JZ and its Getrag transmission in a front-midship configuration. The engine is being fed by a massive T88-38GK turbine. C&Y estimates that power levels will be north of 800ps when the car s completed, making this one of the most powerful C10 Skylines ever. The suspension is also receiving a complete overhaul and will use both S13 Silvia and R33 Skyline GTR components. It also looks like the car will be outfitted with a set of Work Meister S1 wheels as well as eye catching green paintwork.
These pictures were taken earlier in the build and much progress has been made since then. The February issue of Option2 has a nice update that shows some photos of the engine and work to the firewall/transmission tunnel. C&Y is planning to debut the finished product at the Exciting Car Showdown this April. Should be quite an amazing machine when it is done. I'm looking forward to see how the finished product turns out.
I love hybrids.That is one dirty hakosuka!!!!The purists should cry...

Thanks for the tips Jeff! My cousins suggested the same thing, but I've yet to locate a FP in decent shape. Then again 200 RMB isn't all that much when converted to USD. Just don't want to start racking up bikes when one quality unit would do.
