carl0s Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I was looking at Century's on some jap dealers site just last week. The GZG50's are still asking the equivalent of £20,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Very interesting, makes a nice change from the usual 'slap a single on it' stuff.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Just thought, if you lobbed the 2JZ engine in the bin and put a LS7 engine in a Supra instead, would this seriously affect the handling now that you have a far lighter engine over the nose of the car? Would the weight distribution be way out of kilter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Just thought, if you lobbed the 2JZ engine in the bin and put a LS7 engine in a Supra instead, would this seriously affect the handling now that you have a far lighter engine over the nose of the car? Would the weight distribution be way out of kilter? Weight Distribution would be better, ie closer to 50:50. It's something like 53:47 stock.

Gazboy Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Wouldn't it have a lower CoG too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Wouldn't it have a lower CoG too? Quite possibly...you'd need the dimensions of the engine and the weight of the heads and block to really know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 i thought stock distribution was 51:49. You learn something new everyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Quite possibly...you'd need the dimensions of the engine and the weight of the heads and block to really know. True, although it's a very low engine, seeing as it's a pushrod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
