Matthew_McNally Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Every time I see that picture Mat it shocks me. Can't belive how naked the engine bay looks! :o :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Import_Boy Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 How do you go about thinkin of ideas of putting an engine in? Are there a lot of different ways? Cuz I would think you just take the uneccessary lexus parts out and replace it with the neccessary supra parts and ecu and stuff..... But i'm most likely wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeta Posted March 1, 2003 Share Posted March 1, 2003 well it's a different engine. the engine supracharged is most likely putting in, is a supra engine (2JZ-GTE) while the stock IS engine is a lower tuned model of that same engine, but with weaker internals and no turbo (2JZ-GE) so a lot of things would have to be taken out to house the 2JZ-GTE since that engine has the stronger internals needed to produce high hp better than a weaker internal GE version. :) or at least that's what i remember of these swaps. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Import_Boy Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 yeah i knew that stuff (I also post on supraforums) but I was askin why they had different plans at goin at it. Because in the end, everything is gettin put in the same way right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexus_Rex Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 what about the 3s-gte? Its lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Import_Boy Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 Less power Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeta Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 well sometimes it may be a personal choice. turbo'ing the 2JZ-GE is cheaper than doing an entire 2JZ-GTE swap with new turbo's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-chargedIS340 Posted March 2, 2003 Author Share Posted March 2, 2003 i have gone for the 2jz-gte, because the aimed HP that we want to be able to run reliably on is 600-700bhp. however we will be aiming to dyno the car at 1000bhp with Gas, then de-tune back to 600bhp. many idea's not so much time or an endless bank account the engine originally fitted was a supercharged 2litre 6 cylinder with 6 speed stick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWJ Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 From an IS200 to a hybrid Altezza. Looks promising. Keep us posted. For the turbo (T88) needed to hit 1000hp and management controls, daily driveability will be sacrificed I would expect. The turbo size would be huge and to detune to 600 would require much less - or a better performing turbo (T62-70) for that range - IMO. What is your approach to this? Big Single, big doubles, parallel - what kind of management. For 1000hp are you planning on using a spool up kit or what? What is the motor going to rev to, what will the driveline be made of? - details man. I never saw the 200 motor before. Didn't know it was a 6. Thought it was a 4. Thanks for the pic! Z... you're starting to give me a complex. Stop saying the 2JZ-GE is weaker because it is not. The only difference is the cylinder head and the turbo and lower compression pistons. The internals are very strong from bottom to top.:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeta Posted March 2, 2003 Share Posted March 2, 2003 all right, all right, AWJ. that's always the way i thought it. your other description already did it once for me... i don't know as much as you, oh 2JZ master!!... i'm only 16... what do you expect?! : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra-chargedIS340 Posted April 1, 2003 Author Share Posted April 1, 2003 yep......however we managed to get it most of the way in, before the heater pipes fouled the rear turbo inlet, the sump was fouled on the subframe and a few other bits just wern't where they should be :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
