4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

something different i've been working on in the shop. i am building two of these. the one shown is for a 600hp street car and the second car will have the identical setup (different turbos) with a fully built motor aiming for 1000whp. i'll post up more pics as the project progresses.

tight fit, but there is lots of room up front, which is where the turbos are going to sit. the crappy thing is that there will have to be up pipes and down pipes. for it to fit.

right now i'm just waiting on some v-bands from adam at racing-solutions. hopefully i'll have them next week.

David @ lextreme would love to see that. You should pop over there and post it if its not up there yet.

thanks, i just registered there.

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

just remember they're normally high class people, so don't act like we all do here LoL!!!

very low-voume, but what you will find is the people that do play, have limitless funds. its nothing for some of them to spend 5-10k on a v8 setup wheels to management just to get it 100% reliable at a measily 600bhp. so make your ---- GOOD if you sell to them. (i know youre tops, but i mean go above and beyond). they expect people to know their ---- 100% and deliver!

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

Solid work Aaron!

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

Damn that LOOKS GOOD!!! 1UZ FTW. Is it a auto? What mounts are they peewee/mounts? More ino/ pic's need asap!!! Great work as always. :y

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

i had to make the mounts, as the car was delivered with none. as for transmission, they had an adapter made to mount the mk3 to the auto bell housing of the 1uz so they could still run a manual.

here are the turbos mounted up. just need some v-bands and some intercooler cores to get this done.

Did you call customs with that tracking #? It shouldn't be taking so long.

I remember a thread a few years back where they put that engine in a reconstructed Ferrari F40 and twin turbo'd it. Did >800.

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

Thats a kit car they sell. Uses the 1uz with a Porsche trans.

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

Definitely fap worthy. That's a sick looking setup.

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

Nice work Aaron... any reason why theyre going with internally gated snails??? I see the S covers... What size wheels those little sluts have in them??? 61 or 67???? Either way I know its enough for more than 1000

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

very nice.


looks just like a certain legend project i took on for someone that was impossible to please, didnt get the parts to me for over a year, sent way beyond 500 emails in that time (seriously) and wanted it all done for just about free. that car drove away with a box full of turbo parts in the trunk. ::)

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

I'm gonna guess, space conservation and piping simplicity...??? Doesn't look like there's room to get a hard-on in there.

Those strut-tower to core-support braces are gangster. :)

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

looks awesome! wish i could afford a 1uz for my mk3. I guess ill just have to be happy with my 2jz lol. :P

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

I see 1uz on ebay some times for around $500- 850 ship.

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

And normally ready to roll atleast another 100,000 miles out of the box!

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

2jz are now in the sub-$400 price range for a good longblock. I paid significantly less for mine.

Love me some 1UZ though. Slap some rods in it and drive it forever at full boost bouncing off the limiter. :6

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

sweet build, will need some strong driver shaft and rear end.. will you sitll be using the rear independent suspention and diff or custom red neck solid axle FTW!! 8)

im still waitin on flanges from you gay usps taking forever 11+ days and counting.. cant wiat to boost jdm orange chicken dohc vtack

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

Honestly, ive never seen a broken Supra rear-end. Nor have I heard of one breaking due to power. Id say some dumbass has killed one that was leaking and ran it dry, but other than that, yeah. The only problems with old IR's like that are the fact that all the bushings are worn and you get wheel hop like a mofo. Fix the old ----, set up the rear correctly with the proper preload on it, and you will have zero issues.

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

all done the piping basically, just need to do the intercooler and lower charge pipe.

ground clearance is pretty tight, but as long as the driver is careful, no issues should arise.

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

thats alot of piping, but it looks sooooo good. great job Aaron!

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

That is dead sexy. :6

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

Looks wicked... Any particular reason you didn't just shoot the manifolds straight foreward twards the front of the car?

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

on the driver's side:
powersteering pump
alternator
passenger side:
a/c compressor

all the accessories sit right in those gaps under the front of the heads.

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

That is nasty. How do you weld the inside of the runners and avoid deflection on the flange? Do you just sand the flange down afterwords or weld at a really low amprage?

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

just weld less than 3/4" at a time letting it cool down completely inbetween each bead. it takes all day to do, but you can do other stuff inbetween.

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

Damn that looks GOOD!!!!!

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

good work. me likie :o

wow pipes is the sex omg

that is OMG. :D

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

not enough oc and jb weld for that.


looks damn good. I love seeing how you fab things up. I just wish your camera didn't take such hazy pictures.

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

yeah, i need to retire that camera. i shouldn't have taken it dirtbiking.

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

looks awesome been wanting to do this swap for years

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

Looks great!

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

:o :o

P.S how you design all piping/exhaust before you make them?

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

One word: Awesome.

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

Why not just take a big thick plate of steel, machine some rough holes in it, deck it, then bolt the flange up? I know weiR has the tools, and could get away with much more welding per pass.

All this project needs now is a nice, wholesome naked lady with big boobs in the driver's seat. That would make me wetter than a 12yr old meeting justing timberlake.

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

This won't really work if you want to weld on the INSIDE of the ports- I mean, you maybe could mille huge, port-sized access holes and try to weld down inside there, but it's not any more practical. But yeah, for welding the outside a thick piece of aluminum is good.

What is debatable is if you need to weld the inside or not...

Re: 4.0L V8 MKIII supra aiming for 1000whp
 

i'd like to hear everyone's opinion/experience on this.
