The 1FZ is a landcruiser engine isn't it? Have they just simply lumped a landcruiser engine and drivetrain in there then rebuilt everything to extreme specs?

 

Still, pretty bloody extreme and love the idea of a 4wd supra. Drag use only I'd assume!

I think its a cracking idea but aimed wrong. Surely if your going to build a 4wd sup you build it for the track? When it comes to proper drag racing does the benefits of 4wd even outweigh the transmission losses etc etc?

 

The whole build looks like a dream though, not one penny spared. Everything looks stunning. The drivetrain.... :drool:

Apparently according to the SF thread. they are aiming at 2500bhp... So i guess transmission loss isnt a worry :p

 

The turbo is actually a bit small for the 2500hp goal.

Planing to change it to 114mm version

Transmission loss + weight + whatever else goes along with it will probably negate the effectiveness of the 4wd though would it not?

 

I'm only guessing as i'm pretty sure the RWD record is faster than the AWD record for the 1/4 mile. In my mind there must be a reason?
