For those who want a different engine, but to "keep it in the family"

900 BHP enough? This caught my eye, again on the Racecarsdirect site, never seen this engine in race trim, and unsure what it would have been built for, but it looks a proper bit of kit, as one might expect at the price, but I am sure it's a LOT less than the development costs!

seems a bit tight not including the loom and ecu for 44k... lol

Price up an EFI Technology Euro 12 and you'll see why it's an extra Still can't figure out what it may have been built for, am thinking boat at the moment...

whats it come out of? could make in interesting jap based custome drag car maybe? enough of this chevy crap

Lexus GS430 I would say?

would it even fit in a supra sized car?

I would say very easily, if you can a V8 in, you can surely get a V6 in

Shit:blink:, there is some expensive stuff on that site - rich mans toys?:innocent:How could anyone justify spending £44000 on an engine with no turbos, loom or ECU and no gearbox neither on a £10-12000 Supra? For that cash you could rebuild a supe using mostly new parts!

When I think about 900BHP and a TT6 supra, then the words "mad scientist" seems to flash up. Not sure why.

Actually it sounds like its value for money given that a crappy 1 bed maisonette in watford would cost about 125k.

Ha, I was only comparing car costs and not real estate! 125k here in China would buy you a 4 bedroom luxury apartment with all new f & f and a 50 inch HD TV!! plus you would have change for a new car too:eyebrows:

Now that sounds resonable:)

And £50,000 sounds like a bargin for 900 hp:)

Lexus GS430 I would say?

Err Chris, isn't a GS430 a 4.3 V8? more likely for a ES400 or similar?

Pointless imo.

You need an EMS & loom, the cost of mapping will push the price up further still, and if it breaks you are bolloxed as spares don't grow on trees.

Merely a post to show that other engines from Toyota / Lexus are now receiving serious tuning out there.

I know mate It's nice to see people still exploring bigger bangs and more of them in a given time, than raming eco-mentalist bullshit down our throats.
