anyone thought about a supra turbo? will it fit ?

[biteme]

Will it fit what?

It'll fit anything given a right amount of aptitude/money/fabrication. It fits the 3SGTE and can be made to fit the 3VZ-FE as well...

its worth noting that its a single entry turbo, rather than the later style twin entry turbos. doesnt mean much, strangely some people ive talked to prefer single entry...

You should come to Glasgow and meet the girls here then :whistle:

[Jaemus]

lol you guys are nuts! :)

[Paul Woods]

isnt this a straight six rather than a vee? if so it wont fit... and i dont like double entry at all.......unless its fruit flavoured and frozen.

[MartG]

Yep - its a straight 6, a very long straight 6:freak3: So long that when they originally wanted to fit it to the Celica it wouldn't fit, hence the Celica Supra was born with a stretched chassis ( the Celica bit was dropped when the Celica went fwd but the Supra stayed rwd - Supra kept the A chassis designation previously used by the Celica e.g. TA22, MA61, while the fwd Celica used a new chassis identifier of T )

that about tells me all i need to know. thanks guys.

[Jaemus]

oh you meant use the motor, not just the turbo? yeah it aint happening, not without rebuilding the frame of the car, far far less practical than even a 1UZ-FE is

of course, if you did rebuild the frame of the car and cram one in, it would be about 100 feet wide, widest widebody ever!

[Dunk]

Yeah but does that mean you could theoretically shove a V12 in there if it was long enough for a straight 6? LOL!!!!

[Jaemus]

hehe

i believe there is someone working on getting the Toyota V10 into a JZA80 supra atm, should be interesting, i cant find the link atm but ill keep looking

[John]

Or you could stretch the chassis and fit it in north-south - might look a bit odd tho', and as Dunk says in that case why not just put in a V12 and have done :)

Could do it like Lamborghini do - engine north/south with gearbox ahead of the engine in the centre tunnel, propshaft then goes back through the sump to the diff mounted on the back of the engine. Dunno where you'd put the fuel tank though

[podge]

do you know for one of these engines then kev?
