Guest spider Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Looking very nice, can i ask is this an upgrade or a re-build?Does it cost much to re-build a Supra engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Looks fantastic, thank you Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 30, 2007 Author Share Posted August 30, 2007 It was rebuilt fully, with forged pistons and 264 cams with a full head overhaul, and new pumps, bearings, full engine balance, new clutch and flywheel, blah blah. A cracked casting was found and renewed as well. Cost depends on the state of the donor engine and what upgrades need doing, and whether I need to remove and refit it, map it, whatever.

bmx1lew Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 how would a rebuild cost with just the standard toyota parts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Work of Art Chris. How long did the build take and how long does the engine typically have to be 'run in' for? Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 Thanks, it took too long, but not as long as petes (thanks for your patience guys... ) Both are on new pistons and bores, so they will need running in as new engines, say 2000 miles. They MUST be run in on a proper AFR and timing, so no no "base maps", temporary maps, borrowed maps or guesstimated maps please!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zap Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Well done that man, looks great. Must be a great feeling putting an almost new engine in your car :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 looks good!! Bet he is impressed! Is that an SR4 I spy in the background? Good God no, I don't have junk in here you know.... It's how a Radical should be if they did one properly! Zeus Toyota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 They're called Jaguar JP1s now I believe. http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evocarreviews/41373/palmer_jaguar_jp1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 Yes, they are Pete, my two were the last factory race cars made by Zeus, who went bust and Dr Jonathan Palmers outfit bought the manufacturing rights, cheapened the build and fitted 3 litre jag V6 engines for track day, and even road usage. The race cars used better components and were loads lighter, but unfortunately Zeus over stretched themselves on a Japanese race car project of monumental cost and complexity. That's not to say a JP1 isn't a nice thing, they are lovely, but quite different to the race car series. The fact the red one has a Toyota engine makes it special, of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 More likely to be a Zeus. Good God no, I don't have junk in here you know.... It's how a Radical should be if they did one properly! Zeus Toyota. Then Alex was spot on!! Looks similar to my untrained eye Zeus toyota, hmmm, looks fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
