Are U Here 2 take My Baby
They always look broken because they're tilted in the enginebay...
-1 for the Nissan emblem
-1 for the fugly green
Would need to see more, but I see a few questionable things being done in that enginebay...

thats interesting, but what a waste when you can just drop a 2jz probably for the same amount of money!

I dunno in my head when i think about it, It would seem the turbocharger would get in the way of the steering shaft. Not to mention the very small ammount of space there is on the intake side of a LHD supra. Not saying it couldnt work, i mean there are RHD supras with JZ engine so im sure it could i just wonder about the clearance with this motor or a LHD car.
I see your point...but there's lhd 240s with rb series motors....I would say its doable into an ma70 maybe just a little more work.
Its different IMO not my first choice of motor but what ever helps them sleep at night.
I think it would be hard in a LHD as our break booster would probably be in the way of the turbos. I think 240sx's have smaller break boosters as there cars dont weigh as much as ours...

This swap makes me a sad panda. I'd give props for actually going through with it but putting the Nissan emblem on is a slap in the face.
The only reasoning I would have to do something like that would be I had a RB on a stand and a supra without a motor. Though I would probably sell one or the other to comlpete one of them. Props for a random swap, Massive negative swaping badges and fugly color choice.
Toyota does tilted engines too, just go look at some older camrys. I always assumed they did that for manifold clearance or something like that.:dunno:

If I saw that on the street's I would nicely pull the Nissan emblem off and put a Toyota one on as it was obviously a terrible mistake 
that car is a mutt and thats pretty much what america is in terms of everyone getting together to make something different. color and emblem dont have anything to do with the idea behind this car. i would choose the rb26 over a hick version v8.
I did an rb swap in my 240 and the brake booster is not smaller just by looking at it. It would have to be measured. Also the steering shaft in the supra is more out of the way than in the 240 because of the angles. also the 26dett can make big hp with small upgrades. I think it is great and would do it too mine as the cost of the rb26dett is about 2000 dollars less then the 2jzgte. This is from my research and from my engine supplier. I am not saying you couldnt find cheaper, but getting one from a reputable place is going to be pricey. Plus I would probably go one step further and try to awd the supra with the rb engine. again this is me.
that is sweet. end of story.
car is however not a nissan. but.. can you see putting a 2j in something freakish and putting a toyota emblem on it? i can. "powered by toyota".. "yeah, its a BLANK but its got a toyota power plant"..
just cuz were partial to supras and toyota in general doesnt change the fact that an rb is a high revving track god engine and thats what is in that car.
personally i think the nissan badge dumb and i would have left the toyota badge on there but i wouldnt call it a slap in the face.
iffy, but cool with me as a whole.
