supraturbochris Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 This has prob already been on here so please excuse me When looking through pistonheads i came accross this. Im very confused. Why put a tuned 3sgte engine in a supra, when you could spend just the same amount and produce about 200-300bhp more? Is it someones supra on here? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1858794.htm I have heard about engine swaps but going smaller engine? i thought it would be the other way around?

Nic Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Less weight and you can get the weight further back for better weight distribution, the JGTC Supras use to run 3SGTE engines for this reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 id rather do what 2bar tunig did and move the 2jz 15 inches back. I suspect the 3s doesn't require quite as much work as Ryan did on his Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the guy who owns this, was a brialliant build, it has a mkiii 5 speed gearbox, forget the name of the bell housing adaptor, if thats what it was, and altezza engine mounts iirc.
