6293, curious,...would this work??
Posted by bustrblue1, Nov-05-01 10:06 AM
i was wondering how hard it would be to transplant a Supra engine to ours? would it even fit? and how much hp do they have stock and would it be worth it?? that'd be bad ass to have TT and all that HP!!!

Ok, if u want a twin turbo V6, letz go 3000gt, come on man.. u gotta mitsubishi, besides, they can handle about the same power worked. But u must like wastin u'r money if u actually want to do the swap. I know someone that tried to put the 3000gt motor in his GSX, it fit, but all it fit is the motor, barely. So your practical answer is no, it won't fit. And if u wanted to fit it in there that bad, hope u got an extra 10k, + trani +.. well another 20k. lol.

yeah like i said, i was just curious. i think later on when i become a pilot and have some good $$$ i'll just have a nice supra and eclipse. and about the 3000gt, i kinda like the way the supra looks more and isn't the supra faster stock?

Thats it
Big woopie tt, you get more power out of a single turbo then you do out of the twin on a supra

I recognized the supra powerplant right off the bat and just thought it was a new bodykit I'd never seen before. Then I got to work and started reading and was like, "HOLY SHIT!" Thats crazzzzyy.... :)

3000GT engines aren't so great. You have to take off the intake manifold just to change the spark plugs....

Not a great engine design. Especially when compared to the Supra's. Plus how many 600+hp 3000GTs have you heard of?

Hmm well the Supra engine is way too big, 6 banger vs a 4 banger is a big difference in size. I saw a 3S-GTE which is a twin turbo MR2 engine. Its mounted horizontally like our engine too and is a 4 banger. Haha I asked the dude at the junkyard if he'd sell me the BOV on it, because it had a HKS SS on it, hehe but he said he wants to sell the whole thing :P


Grrr it's gonna eat you up!
