Enjoy

 

i gots to get me one of 'dem supra motors after watching that

 

sounds wicked!!

 

when I click on the link, it just brings up a bunch of encoding... no videos or anything?

 

Good Vid. Those Supra engines sound AWESOME! Do you know if they were Turbo Charged?

 

WTF is that all about? Especially the guy on his side redlining it in the mud.
Sounds about as awesome as a swarm of Hondas

 

What player are you using?

 

I think there non turbo.The guy that does it is in my home city,i think he does them for about $5000 NZ ,its not for me though.it doesnt sound right.

 

definatly not turbocharged. The turbine muffles the the exhaust and really smooths it out.

So, he charges about 5K NZ money? That is around 10K US. I can do them for 6K US, and that is for a turbo motor. That is about $2500 in labor $3500 parts.

Man, I am cheap I really need to charge more.

 

What doesn't sound right? Putting in a supra motor, or the sound of the N/A?

You should really hear the sound of the turbo.

Go here to listen what a turbo charged one sounds like. This is my 1994 4runner

Too bad for the brand new 240hp "HONDA"

 

so what motor is that exactly? im building a truck right now and am still deciding if i want to use stock yota running gear with some motor, or if i want to go fullsize chevy running gear with a 350 and a auto,

will the supra motor bolt to stock trannys or what? im needing more info on this.

lots of good info and a dedicated forum. just as a quick answer yes a supra motor will bolt up to a stock 4cyl 4WD truck transmission with appropriate bellhousings.


the trucks in that video are definetly NOT turbocharged.

 

I wish that was the case ,I could be a rich man.
You have it around the wrong way. $ 5000 nz is about $2500 US approx,maybe a little more as our dollars is quite strong against the greenback right now.

 

The guy down here use's these motors . Toyota 5MG-EU engine - 2.8litre 6-cylinder. If you find a 5-speed Supra (MA61 model - early 80's) then you have everything you need to bolt it in - no conversion kits or adaptors required.

you lot a probably thinking of later model supra motors for your late model runners.

 

i dunno about NZ but the 5MGE is dirt cheap around here, i can see being able to do that swap for practically nothing, although i dont see much benefit to all that work.

 

Oh yeah, oops.

Yeah, a 5M could be done for that cheap. Cost of parts would be around half.

 

Yeah, I agree. 150hp and 160ft/lbs of torque isn't any better than the v6. If you are replacing a 22R, I guess that would be a little better, still, I would want a little more power. Still, any supra swap is cool.
