Steve W2 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Anyone know what V8 they used? Might consider the conversion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Either a 1UZ-FE or a 3UZ-FE 4-4.3L Lexus V8 as found in a GS400/430. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hornet Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Are you having a go at this Alex..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Do you mean am I knocking it? Nope - it's what I'd do...would have done it years ago if I'd had the budget. Though I'd have put on smaller turbo's as I wouldn't want a drag only car. 4.3L V8 with 2x GTRS's would be more than enough IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Wallop! That's not messing about, is it? Any more pictures of the installation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 The LS400/430 had the same block - There is deffo a GS430....thinking about it the GS400 might not have existed. oops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attilauk Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 i've just been reading through the thread on supraforums and they aren't going to use those tubbys they are going for either 1 big or 2 small units so that its still driveable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_have Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Photoshopped! Or are those turbos (one is anti-surge, other isn't!) just there for blowing air onto the undertray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attilauk Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 lol, have you read through the supraforums thread? 90% of it is people argueing over whether its a photoshop those tubbys aren't the ones that will be used, they have been placed there to give an impression of what the finished article will be like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 A big problem they have is that they don't have a lot of space either side of the V cause of the strut towers. IMO to work well the turbo's would actually need to be mounted at sump level. ie upside down. Keeping the CoG low and minimising the manifold length.

Digsy Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 The problem with moutning turbos low is getting the oil to drain out of them effectively. They need to be above the oil level in the sump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Hmmm - bugger hadn't considered that...Frickin suspension towers... Is there anyway to pump the oil out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I don't see why not, with a small scavenge pump or something. I'm sure someone somewhere will have tried that already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hornet Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Nah didnt mean are you knocking it Alex meant are you going to have a go at doing the conversion yourself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Budget ever allowing, I would. I'd love more torque and the 3UZ can be turned into a 5.2L as demo'd in the JGTC Supra's of 2003 - light weight alloy block probably only weighs as much as the Iron 2JZ. It would be a great project even left as an NA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
