a customer at work has a 91ish supra with a 1jzgte swap. that thing sounds AMAZING with a crap cone filter and catback
they are pretty nice but i don`t really like the styling, it`s way too conservetive for what it is, yet the lastest one (92+ ? ) looks a little too fat :1

the the 6 out and put in a 3sgte

The 2jz in the mk4 supra is probably the most over engineered motor to ever come out of japan, why would you downgrade to a 3sgte. Dont get me wrong Its a fine motor in its own right but its better off in an MR2/Celica.

I have a hard on for MK4's!

jinxy

Because we're talking about a ------- 7mgte, not a 2jzgtte. And sevral mkiv supra race cars have 3sgte's because they can put out the power needed and keep the weight down.

tripod owned my engine bay shot of this car


nippon denso LM supra race car. 3sgte..



....
3sgte is pretty much the same damn motor, just an i4 insted of an i6.

Yeah im well aware of the 3sgte supra race cars. Lets face it though why would you ever do that for a street setup.

jinxy

Because they're a hell of allot cheeper to a 2jzgtte and usualy hold more power than a 7mgte.

MarkG

Yeah i see what your saying from the MK3 point of view, i thought we were talking about mk4's though.

like whitey said up there, i hope you like changing headgaskets.. and be prepared for spun rod bearings, its bound to happen sooner or later.. i love those cars but theyre just too much of a hassle to take care of..

+1 I have one, 1987 turbo, I think I'm on my 4th head gasket, and this is the 3rd rebuild I've had to do to it. Once I get it up and running, probably going to sell it for Soarer funds.
