Homer Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Incredible install One thing I'd love to see is the kerb weight and possible weight distribution split between front/rear. Would be great to see how it compares to the 2JZ-GTE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy bebop Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 oh wow! wonder how far £10k would go....... At current exchange rates, you might be able to get a complete built motor and turbo kit of out of it. Thanks, and thanks to all the gents with the kind words and inspiration!

Thanks, and thanks to all the gents with the kind words and inspiration! Eric Really? If that's the case, then it almost makes this a viable choice instead of going single. Different beasts I grant you, but £10K is about right for a decent single turbo install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Definitely looking forward to costs when this is done for the engine and kit, ancillaries etc. Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowboy bebop Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Definitely looking forward to costs when this is done for the engine and kit, ancillaries etc. Gaz. It's defintiely not cheap, however with the dollars value being garbage compared to the GBP, it makes the cost easier to swallow. I have a complete cost breakdown available already. Thanks!

EdMorris Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Like everyone else I think this is the doggies doo-dars. Its one exceptional looking V8. So looking forward to the finished article. Awesome build Eric! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 That is THE nicest Supra engine bay I have ever seen, except possibly for the V12. I just love the look of simplicity (although, I know it's not). Engine, turbos, filter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Its werid seeing a V8 in there, but that engine looks like it was made for the car. Cant wait to hear it in action, I bet it'll sound fanstasic ... and yeah, you went with the best colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Red One Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 thats looks sweet can wait to see it finish, you will have to do a vid of it running too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboy bebop Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 A couple more of the engine bay with the fuel rails/injectors fitted. The engine harness is completely run and hidden for the most part. I still to add the block off and the bezel at the entrance on the firewall, but that's easy enough. The lines are run tidy and out of the way, and there's just a small batch of chroming left to be done with the radiator pipes, fuel rails, and whatnot. Plus the wiring of the TPS, IAT, and MAP.
