Engine swap?

[Bulkierzero]

So i was just wondering if there has been any other engine swaps then the usual 1/2jz or v8. I really like the idea of lightening up my supra and jz engines are pretty heavy and im not really a fan of v8s. Has anyone heard of or thought of an engine swap that thats light and make could make decent power?

The 2jz is a lighter option, compared to the others

I saw a 3sgte swap on a forum somewhere, but be ready...:flamed:

Iirc hks did the 3s swap. Maybe not.

Could easily loose a lot of weight and creature comforts to loose weight and still have straight six power.

If you're really truly concerned about weight, an RX-7 shell is probably a better place to start. MKIII Supras are pigfat, and always will be.

But all that fat equates to lots of creature comforts and a nice ride.

Oh I fully agree, and that's why I love my MKIII. It's also the reason that I don't "worry" about weight when it comes to my Supra. If I did, I would have a different car.

I wouldnt want to get an rx7. I love the mk3s thats why i want to make it one of the top dogs. Im not really concerned with power i prefer handling. It handles good already i just want it to be better.

4AGE? 3SGTE? 2ZZ-GE? 2AZ-FE? All lighter options, but all lack one thing needed in a Supra... torque... Now with that said, you will be spending some serious coin to build them and then finding a RWD trans for all/making adapters to put a RWD trans behind all of them. The major benifit would be all the weight of the engine would be over/behind the front axle line and that = better for any motorsports.

it's hard to beat a 7m
ibt hate, a 2.0 tdi with modified turbo and ecu tune can make some 7m like torque numbers.

It would probably be the first diesel Supra.
