dude Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 well sorry to say the jds looks dead in the water for a Pro car so it makes sense to go V8 and run in the 'proper' classes at 'proper' meetings, at the moment the intention is to fit a Big Block Chevy, prob 630 cu in+ (10ltr) and maybe run nitrous, car will be simpler and much more reliable but still run low 7's. As soon as I know for sure i'll sell the remaing parts for a 2J like virtual works intake with fogger system and VW ex manifold with new T6 turbo and harmonic balancer and head etc. Hope you guys still like it.

JasonR24 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Hi sorry to hear your problem I'm curious to know why the supra won't be good as a pro car with the 2jz? Sorry if iv missed something! Just thinking having a 2jz would be brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 There just arent enough cars to run a pro series, John Bradshaw is going elsewhere so it would leave prob 3 or 4 cars funnily enough all supras, it would be quicker with a 2j than the BBC but much more maintenance and id need a mapper etc at each meeting, im not allowed to run multivalve heads in the class I want to run and TBH a 6 cyl turbo is no good in a bracket class which I will also run in. So for me its fit a 1200hp monster big block and run Super Modified and Comp Eliminator maintenance on the BBC is miniscule compared to running a 1500hp 2J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 Oh and you just cant compete with a 14:1 compression 10ltr chevy for sound on open headers !!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Sounds like poor reasons to me. Motorsport has become too picky IMO. fair enough the rules are there to keep it competitive but excuse my French holy merde! why can't regulations be based on dyno figures or car geometry figures to see the capability of the car. Turbo and such shouldn't mean anything IMO I'm by no means an expert and apologise for the rant but it eludes me! Good luck with your next engine though!

I havent looked at the price of the nelson race engines but know there one of the best engines you can buy so assumed they were more expensive. $26000 is bloody good! Makes me feel like selling the supe just to have one in my living room ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
