hi guys i have just finished a ls1 powered supra, it was a 3.0 na std import, we have fitted a std ls1 (will have mods in the future). its only going to be about 320bhp at the wheels sdt but can get 400 with cam etc , ive done a few hundred miles in it and it drives real nice very smooth and pulls 5th from 20 mph . i fitted the v8 into the black one a few years ago and see it now has a procharger on it (should be cool) here are some pics

Hi Craig, it's been a long time since we last discussed this conversion, but very pleased to see this finally done in a Supra over here :thumbs: Very much looking forward to hearing more about this car. Is it someone from this club (I somehow doubt it!)?

 

How did you overcome the sump and subframe clearance issue in the end?

 

Also, did you use a T56 box? Any problems getting the shift mounted in the right place?

Nice conversion for a na, id never swap a GTE lump for a LS though.

 

It was an NA so not exactly sacrilege :p

 

If I didn't love my JZ so much I would have had a V8 off Craig long ago :D

 

His work at Dynotorque fitting V8's to many different cars has built him an solid reputation for quality work and the cars are just so streetable, relatively fuel efficient, sound the nuts and of course fast. (am I doing a decent enough plug for him? :sly: )

 

I have some slightly more up to date pics of the RX here. Not sure if people are asking for a project thread on the Supra or the RX? This is a Supra site after all but I don't think there is much more to say about this one (Supra) at present. If anyone is interested in the RX I can do one for him when I get a sec.

 

A couple of earlier Supra pics:

If someone wants to do an RX-7 conversion I have a totally and utterly rust free, mint and unmessed with car here with a blown engine for sale.

 

Would like to see underside photos of the MKIV showing engine mounts, subframe / sump and gearbox mounts please :) Got a serious customer wanting to have such a conversion done.
