Motor chosen… 6 cylinder????

August 18, 2011 Leave a comment

I may lose some here but this been very exciting for to have chosen a 2jz for the car. While it’s not everyones taste, I’ve been around the supra world for 10yrs and have had a couple of 1000hp ones so I know this engine inside and out. Also, I had lots of parts at my fingertips so that helped in the decision. It will be a stock bottom end, billet 67 PTE turbo with a cast log style manifold, 1000cc injectors and supporting other mods to handle plenty of power with e85, inlucding a ProEFI engine management setup.
To hold the power I have a bullet built th400 to put in it and haven’t chosen the converter yet.
Anyways, here are some pics of her sitting in there with the custom mounts I made using part of the Ron Morris ones and half fabbed by me.

Fuel system complete

I decided to go big with the fuel system as I knew I wanted to run boost with E85 so I went with sumping a new tank and using a Magnafuel external pump. Single -8 feed and single -6 return :)

It’s been pretty busy but I’ve managed to get some work done on the car even with loads of work/travel, thanks to my loving and understanding wife :)
I’ve managed to get together the front mount intercooler and piping, as well as the 2core aluminum radiator which is for a supra and fits nicely between the frame rails. I just had to make some brackets for the tabs to sit in.
