damn, i didnt know that, even the older supra's?

 

Wow joe, I've never heard anything about reliability problems with the 2jz.

They're able to withstands lots of power on stock block too.



Or did your aunt have a mkiii? The ones that kinda look like 8 series bimmers. My friend had one, total shitbox. they blow headgaskets too. That car does not have the 2jz

But someone did put a MKIII engine into an FC3S before, wasn't the one we have, but the twin turbo 2.5l

 

And if you want to be a ******** and put a boinger into an RX-7, a V8 is better than a 2jz

 

P.S.

 

Nope...she had a 93 or 94 I believe. 2jz-GTE. I dont know too much about these cars but I want to say the compression in the cylinders is really high! I have noticed that toyotas dont really have much pick up. I own one and was drving my cousins today. The Supra and MR2 were just exceptions. Maybe it is just opinion on my part. But I only see supras with problems around here.

 

the 2jz can supposively withstand 600-700hp on stock internals and is commonly referred to as the strongest engine toyota ever produced, your aunt had a rare lemon.

Maybe so....My family has bad luck with cars. I know about how much Hp it can take but how long can it handle it? Thats a different story. Toyotas are built to last no doubt about that. But it is a sports car and that shortens the life of the engine. I admit it is not rare to see these cars with 130k plus miles and still going strong. I was in the market for one but I was told not to cause they have their share of problems. The one I was looking at infact had a new engine because the other one blew out. They arent very popular where I live and I see a whole lot more 7's then I do supras. The ones I do see are crap. Texas I guess got the bad stock.

 

Yea.. My friend Evan has a supra... err had a supra... (He got ran into by a tree) it had alot of problems the only thing I liked about it was the 17x9 chrome bbs's that I wanted so bad.

 

One of the huge advantages of the 7 is the 50/50 weight distribution.

Why would anyone want to give that away? I raced a 650hp Supra not

to long ago at Sebring International Raceway and beat him down .

The car was fast for the two straights, but had tremendous understeer in

the turns and lots of brake fade due to it's weight. Good engine, but all in

all, I'd rather have mine.

 

The car is belongs to SP Engineering in Southern California. Alex, the owner put in the 2JZ GTE engine on the FD after the engine blew. That car is actually fabricated quite well. Too bad a boinger just doesn't go right with the RX7 chasis.
