Swap Culture: 2JZ v S52 and the infamous LS
In this episode of prjct.POD, John and Justin are joined by special guest Zeke to dive deep into the wild world of engine swaps—from budget junkyard builds to high-end plug-and-play kits. We talk LS swaps, 2JZ legends, the overlooked potential of BMW’s S50/S52 motors, and how the Internet made outrageous builds more accessible than ever.
We debate:
✅ Is the LS swap played out or still the smartest move?
✅ Could the S52 be the underrated 2JZ of the BMW world?
✅ Why don't more people build S50s—and should we change that?
✅ Is it sacrilege to EV-swap an Evo… or kind of genius?
✅ What happens when you drift a V10-swapped E30?
We even throw out a challenge series idea: 2JZ E36 vs. S52 E36—built, beat, and stress tested side-by-side.
Plus, John reveals his dream of building a sleeper EV Chevelle and a 1000hp Evo 8... because why not?
