I only said 2J, and besides even IF mine had a 2JZ-GTE it wouldn't be worth 15k. 5spd would blow in no time, along with its crapy 2/1 pot brakes... still rather spend the coin on a decent RZ.

All I want is to know what i'n means? you used it more than 3 times in one post so it's clearly not a spelling mistake. never seen that abbreviation before...

also, found the perfect one for you.

it's in WA AND it comes with a 2JZ.. asking price is $99,000 but surely much easier than buying one allll the way over east. makes me wonder how all those people import cars from even further away than say sydney. places like japan even. they must be nuts.

I did have one problem with your engine transplant idea though. all the JZA80 supras I could find for sale, yes even the ones in WA, all had 2JZ engines already fitted to them?!?! WTF? their owners must have beaten you to it and installed the 2JZ. maybe you could ask one to sell you one without the 2JZ engine in it, and then you can do the transplant?

there is an awesome supra I've seen in japan (not one of the tops eecret built ones) with a nice built RB26 in it making around 750ps, with sequential 6 speed box etc and lots of gear. I actually like it. it would annoy a few folks though. top secret started sticking RB26 into supras cause he 'knew' how to tune the 26 and thought it was god's gift to engine bays. I did like his GT300 inspired 3SGTE powered supra though. that thing was cool.

did you just reveal his 'top secret' :P

Whoever built that car is a wealthy master troll.

Have to say I'd be doing similar things if I had the money to burn.

His name is Smokey and he is no troll !

and Beer Baron, when looking for Rb26 Supras one of the google images links was in your gallery Lol

Could you put the AWD drivetrain in that too? Sure the soop would weigh quite a bit, but an AWD Supra would be sweet.

This engine does not need internal combustion to operate, pressure from that turbo alone will suffice lol. You just need to tow start it and build the revs up to 10,000 first :P

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
