supra conversion?

i recently bought both the castrol supra gt and the tamya supra kit. has anyone put the engine from the tamya into the castrol gt? and if so was it difficult

Check out robrex on the street build section for a mind blowing conversion (Progress- TRD 3000GT Modified)

That's one for Skeck to answer, I know he pulled it off in his Tsunami... - Mark

If you want to build the Castrol car ( if that is the Tom's Supra GT?) with engine you can't use the street supra engine at all. The racing machine had a inline four and the other one as you probably know has a inline six. But for a street conversion...no problems to do whatever comes in your mind.

CJ,

If both kits are Tamiya then you won't have too many problems. I did it. You will have to use the street suspension and body pan.

Of course, I couldn't stop there. I had to lower the whole thing three scale inches and that involved re-routing the suspension around the oil pan, etc., etc.

If I can figure out how to post picture here I'll do so.

Steve.

sounds great, thanks very much

As proosen mentioned, to make an acurate represation of a racing model, you need an I-4 engine, 3S-GTE. This engine can be obtained from the Tamiya ST205 Celica GT4 (the one Pman recently completed).
