Tee from China Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Found this very sad Supra whose owner has definitely lost the plot! In the search for a bigger turbo caused him to loose sight of reality! Looks like a well pregnant bonnet bump! Hasn't even bothered to use the original engine either and drop in a 4 pot instead!

johnny g Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I believe that's the 4WD Russian one with the 4.5L I6 engine in from the Landcruiser Amazon (1FZ?) It'd not be sad when you put your foot down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdistc Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Yes, as Johnny says, this is the crazy Russian build - 98mm turbo on the side of the 1FZ, with a retrofitted AWD system. The thread is http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?545570-AWD-Supra-with-1FZ-and-98mm-turbo-is-almost-ready... on SF.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdistc Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 As I recall, they were also building a dual VVTi head. Which also has disappeared into the night, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 It would of been quite an expensive feet to try and do dual VVTI on a head designed for single use only. Hell the only way of doing it would of been a total brand new casting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tee from China Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 so a six not a four but still begs the question - WHY? with so much good stuff around for the 2JZ why bother making a nice car plain ugly by doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
