mkirby Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Running HKS 2530 turbos etc etc Looks a nice conversion but as good as the RB26 engine is why stick one in a supra as the supra engine has got to be as tuneable?? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soonto_HAS_soop Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I dunno, if you had a smashed up liner with tuned engine and a soop with blown engine or something, then I would probably do the same, be the cheaper option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samsupra37 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 The Nissan engine is much lighter than the Sup's and is just as durable...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Does this make it a Niyota? I really can't imagine the effort this must've taken fabricating custom parts. I suppose some people just wan't to be different. If they'd done the 4wd as well now that would be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D3xt3r Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 If they swapped the AWD too it would be really cool but I never have seen an AWD Supra so I think it wont be possible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 There's a much bigger choice of aftermarket tuning parts for the RB engines, which may be one reason. They can also run higher rpm can't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
