4th gen supra V8 engine swap

[Sublime1304]

swapping the motor in a supra with a toyota or lexus V8, possible or not?

[Xclusive_Russ]

You mean a 1UZ?

[Sublime1304]

yes that is what i mean

[marshallpre1]

very doable. You just need some $$$. head over to supraforums, there are a few of them running. I think someone has twin GT40s on an LSX!

[BrandonW]

the 1uz put into 3rd and 4th gen supras n/a and twin turbo

this is a pic of a 1uz twin turbo with 2 ct26's at the last philly meet

its probably easier into a mkiv room wise but like what was said above you need the $$$ but if you can do it yourself and do some custom fabbing that would help towards how much you spend

[Foolinaround]

someone just did a 1fz in russia.

[SJS2k]

Blasphemy!

[empera]

philly single did SBC with HUGE turbo.

I'm sure I only know part of the story so I can't give an honest, informed opinion. Claims of deals gone bad, lying, etc. are what I read about. But here's two threads about it from Supraforums

A few of the Australian guys and shops have built some really nice V8 MkIV Supras. If you look there or search on such related terms, you'll see more.

yes a v-8 swap is possible... it has been done, even saw 1 in Fl. with a twin turbo v-8!

check out v-eight.com

first up, kudos to MR22ZZ @ toymods for running around at Superlap EC rattling off shots when I couldnt make it. secondly, props to Ross @ Ross Tuffbond Balancers Australia for the effort in making all the custom pullies for the drysump setup and underdrive etc, and finally to JMR Engines and Fabrication for getting the the final little fiddly bits together in time to actually make it to the event, even if it was only on an engine stand! I know Ross was a happy guy having it there!

Anyway, some pics of the new engine. Excuse me getting all 'arty' and doing a black and white series. and theres also some worked over images from the end of last year that i never got around to processing, and figured I'd whack them up here as well. enjoy :)
