An ex-Supra V6 twin turbo would be amusingly wrong

Yes, amusingly wrong- since all Supras use straight sixes.

The Lexus 1UZFE lumps are uber smooth and will do 500+ on stock internals so I hear....
Chip's thinking of putting one in a Cally and then turboing it..

Theres also some vids of it revving hard with a coin on its end on the rocker...

not sure on the uk superchargers yet, might be worth sniffing round the german sites to see if anyones parting out a pre charged bmw v8

now that would be fun with a twinscrew

weekend away with a trailer and you can get it back to blighty

the vid's I've seen of charged M62's seem to use the little vortech units , I suspect that would possibly the only option as most of the engine bay will be full of Teutonic v8

just need to come up with a suitably politically incorrect project title to reflect the German Japanese mix....

20B rotary with a big turbo

Kevin York(?) with his Cosmos/20B (circa 1990) was hitting over 600bhp 3 years ago...who knows what the power output is now.

Anyway, just thought I'd throw in an idea from left field

Lovely Engine - I'd be happier if it was in a cosmos

Just to through a thought in there....

The BMW V12 is only 2 inches longer than a lexus V8, and go for relative peanuts on the bay.....

Jeff you are an evil...evill man..

I gues the M73 is the one to go for
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M73
(326bhp/361Ft/lb of torque... )

the M70 only has a little more power than the 4.4v8.

But the NOISE!
Besides you only wanted 300bhp lol

btw how big do you want to bonnet bluge to be?





.... swap it again in a few years for a Phaeton W12

Rave ta for the correction, I should have known!

[Vimeous]

Hold on a sec ....

Jiff's right the V12 would be stunning, but would a Passat W8 be a better fit?

[sleepyhead]

..the noise of the V12... brilliant! Do it!!!!!

Passat W8's sound rubbish due to their flat plane cranks. Part of the attraction having a big lazy engine is the noise

[Moby-Dick]

noise wise both the BMW v8's and 12's sound very nice.

I've seen a vid of a 200sx with the v12 in so it's definatly possible.

now just need to source a crash damaged post 96 750
