That would definately be different, but I'd also stick with the 20B instead.

A friend in high school had a 90 MR2 with a 13b turbo in it. Fast as **** and cornered better then my 7. Only thing is it ate trannies for lunch.






What kinda tranny's did he use?



My brother is thinking of trying to put a 7MGTE (yes we love the 7M's around our house) in an MR2, and he was going to use some front wheel drive V6 toyota tranny, that bolts to the 7M.

yeah, as much as i'm against V8 conversions, why not use an LS6 engine than that...... and like other people said too.... there's always the 20B

There isn't any 2 rotor engine that could suport 1000 HP! Nor is there any 7 that could keep up with a modded supra7.





As for this swap, I am pretty sure it wouldn't be that hard. The worst part of it would be wireing the whole thing up, and I could do this swap for under $8000 grand (if I already had the car). You people really don't know the cost of things, or maybe you buying everything brand spankin new.



But a GTR front clip cost about 3-4 K, from Jarco. And it would come with pretty much everything you need to do the swap. That is if you keep it bone stock. And then to keep it cheap you would have to fabricate everything you self from scratch!!! And the RB26 probably isn't any taller than the 7MGTE, or 2JZ. So there wouldn't be much problem with physically fitting it, although you would PROBABLY have to cut the fire wall, and move the engine back some.





But if you can fabricate everything your self, and leave the engine stock, it woun't cost no stinkin 35,000-40,000 bucks!!! If I had that much to spend on my supra7, I could have a 6-7, 1/4 mile car.
Do you realize the engine work needed to support 600 or even 1000hp on a RB26? and the transmission work? Let me tell you it is not cheap by any means, your looking at boring the block to a 2.7 or 2.8, custom pistons have to be procurred (good luck getting Arias or Wiseco to sell them to you they are under contract with HKS) aftermarket crankshaft, (good luck finding one under $2000) Then your looking at turbo(s) that can withstand the power levels, add in the custom oil pan to make the car RWD capable ( requires removal of the front differential assy from the oil pan) After gettign the block ready you have to find a R33 GTS25t transmission, and add in a new center plate (stock one is good for around 600) otherwise the case twists and breaks, hardened input and output shaft and a new gear set, custom cut and balanced driveshaft, not to mention the suspension modifications to drop this heavy monster into the engine bay (weighs the same as a chevy V8 when loaded with all the accesories) Not to mention all the chassis bracing that will be required. there is a lot of things you are not looking at that will need to be done, and why keep it stock? Just boosting up a 13bt in an FD will outperform the RB26DETT in stock form.

TheCamel---RB26s wont last long over 1000hp either, the blocks cant take it, I have seen quite a few of them warp. T51S will get you there with some MAJOR block work, but like I said it wont last long. TRANNY work OH DAMN I dont want to even get into that HAHAHA



TOO MUCH WORK



I think GTRs are slow. Nice ride at about 700hp, anything more and you will be broken every other day, any less and your starting to get smoked by other rides.

You might have to come to Japan some time hehe Im not saying I have seen 1000hp 2 rotors, but I will show you a couple 700hp FDs that will smoke check a few 1000hp supras

well, first of all..... who would need 1000hp? even so... if a supra has 1000hp, it will still get beaten by a 700hp rotary. second of all, custom fabrication and reliability?!? are you nuts? you dont have the proper research and development to make things reliable the first time around.



and talkin about 35-45g's...... i can have some australian people come to my house and watch them turn my car into a 1000hp pp20b
