My friend that has the supra told me people don't usually use them cause you can really screw up the valve system at higher hp. Ive even heard you shouldn't take them above 650. Good luck to the dude
lol, he claims to know what he's doing... said he's done many S2000s with this swap. I think it's a bit more interesting than ls1 (at least more uncommon for the RXs). I think that much power's a bit too much really... with that kinda money, you could shed a lot of weight and have less hp and run better at a track, or similar times at a drag strip even. With the kinda money going into that I'd much rather do a whole new suspension, wheels, mazsport turbo and all that kinda stuff... could do a lot with that kinda money.

Re: Why no three rotor

A 2jz is def. more interesting. I liked the ls1 cause its still relatively small and all aluminum. 2jz is all iron and pretty big. But assuming that he bought the car so he could put a 2jz in it and the amount he spent on the motor and other parts, I would just get a different car....

yeah, it all depends on what his goals were I guess. Not sure if he did it, or a customer requested him doing that though... with 1250 hp I'd assume the only goal is to make it a great drag car.
