Justin Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 The engine from this piece of lardy cr*p is what is inside the only 2 Supras left running in the Japanese Super GT championship these days. http://www.engine-power.com/img/specs/2006_lexus_gs_430_04.jpg Sad but true. It's the 3UZ FE V8 see below. http://www.supergt.net/supergt/2006/06team/06teams_e/06t025.shtm?dt Maybe THOR Racing's V8 Supra motor could enter?

Bobbeh Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Was in there last year to wasnt it? Sad to see the lack if Supras now Toyota/Lexus are running with the Soarers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 its hard to even see a supra under there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 It's must have about as much to do with a road going Supra as a yoghurt pot really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 So what is that makes a Supra, the body design or the engine. I mean is not technically a Supra if it doesnt have the inline 6 engine in it...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlton Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 How great would it be to have a V8 under the bonnet tho!! How "easy" is this conversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 gay. I like the six. Imagine how heavy the 8 would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 gay. I like the six. Imagine how heavy the 8 would be. Apparently it's lighter than the 6. I can't find the numbers at the mo but some Toyota freak on PH reckons the V8 is a similar weight to a 3SGTE engine from the MR2, which I assume is a hell of a lot lighter than the 2JZ engine. I would like to see fully dressed weights for all three though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stt Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 If im not wrong then the V8 is an all alloy block and is lighter than the 2JZ lump which is a steel block Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
