nige-rz Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 How much BHP are they? +1, also how much are we talking roughly to have this fitted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Google says 280bhp 355ftlb, revs to 5750, lame without spending big bucks, even then Id rather have a 2jz any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 what sort of power is in the stock v12 Jurgen? from what i was told 280ps gentleman agreement How much BHP are they? as above +1, also how much are we talking roughly to have this fitted? never done one lol - i guess labour would be around £1000 (the question is whats needed to make this fit etc etc) UGP might chime in as hes doing one i think.

Lude Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 what gearbox would go with it? just the century auto? http://toyotaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/toyota-century.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getrag Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 Without having ANY experience in this area my first reaction would be that to have a nice responsive, realiable V12 engine like in say, Modern Aston Martins, you'd be paying big bucks. And thats part of the reason they are big bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'm sure UGP will be along soon and show us all how to build the best V12 supra ever then we'll all want to do it but just not as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Smokey's car is just under 600BHP from what I read a while back. I have the Supra is someone wants to put a V12 in it, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Does sound as nice as as I'd hope it would, I am interested in a conversion though not sure with the V12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Smokey's car is just under 600BHP from what I read a while back. Total waste of money and time when a very basic single setup can make that power with ease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) smokeys car is 1000bhp now it was just under 600 when it first came out. Edited January 19, 2012 by Jurgen-Jm-Imports (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 You'd need to run an S8 or two other ECU's in master/slave. Huge cost. Novelty, but not worth it. I'd much rather go with a V8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
