Guest SupraBoy_BG Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I have been offered mkiv with Lexus V8 conversion under the hood.Auto box, stock engine.What I know is that this engine has got a lot of torque and with the right turbo kit and internals can achieve easy 700 hp.I know that such a stuff is rare and very expensive but I wanna try something different. My question is: WOULD YOU buy supra with such a conversion for 8000 pounds? This is what I have found in you tube: Thanks for your advice up front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Is it the Thor Racing one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Nope, it's not as fast as a TT, and it'll be an absolute bastard to sell on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Nope, it's not as fast as a TT, and it'll be an absolute bastard to sell on. Isn't the Thor one putting out about 400bhp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Thinking about it, it can't be the Thor one as that's got a 5speed manual tranny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Isn't the Thor one putting out about 400bhp? I was under the impression Thors was about 260bhp with an autobox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyb10supra Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 That V8 growl just sounds so bizzare from a supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SupraBoy_BG Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 This video is just random video from the web.The idea behind this engine is something else.I have got already single turbo GT42R MKIV that does 200 m/h(not in UK of course).I want to buy second supra wich more capable of 1000 bhp.At the moment in USA the batle between the big boys is with V8 engines for many reasons.With 1 bar of boost and 2 turbos with 60-70mm A/R,4 litres V8 easy will reach 800 as long the internals are strong enough to hold it.The idea is to have car with potential and also to have NA engine with 400 HP wich is possible with that motor.

Guest Geneb Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 that v8 aint 400BHP is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SupraBoy_BG Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 that v8 aint 400BHP is it? Yes it is not,because runs wth stock ecu,stock heads,stock fuel sistem.With skimmed head,and moded ecu,ect,ect will reach 400. Other option is with small turbos only at 0,5 -0.6 bars,stock piston and rods still will hold it for sure!The problem is that in UK everything is veri very expensive.....
