2JZ-GTE Part 1 – More Strength, Less Weight by Pablo Mazlumian from MotoIQ @motoiq "Released in 1993, the MKIV Toyota Supra Turbo was an in-your-face time machine with an obnoxious wing, massive rear bumper and futuristic taillights. But a twin turbocharged 3-liter inline-six mated to a six-speed Getrag transmission made it a real contender, taking on the likes of twin turbocharged 300ZX's, RX-7's and 3000 GT VR-4's, and even shaking Porsche 964, NSX and Ferrari Testarossa owners in their ostrich-skin boots. But, at nearly $50k MSRP—still a chunk of change by today's standards—the Supra was overpriced, and it later dropped by ten grand. Maybe we just didn't get it then. After all, who knew these stock drivetrains would hold 800-plus hp? Well, many get it today, and nearly two decades later you'd be lucky to find a low-mileage example for under $30k. One can argue that the Gran Turismo and Fast and Furious franchises helped its popularity, but nothing did more to earn this car's terrific reputation than its stout engine block. We just had to build one. It's nice to know if you ever need a factory short block, Champion Toyota sells them for around $2250. Our Supra previously had one, and with a Precision 71-GTS turbo kit from Sound Performance it made over 760 WHP and 630 lb-ft at 29 PSI on pump 93 and a single nozzle methanol injection."

“Our goal is, along with addressing any lubricating, airflow and fueling deficiencies, to put together a reliable and streetable 800 WHP Supra. By “streetable” we mean it has to have AC, not be overly noisy, be able to refuel at the pump and put the put the power down (within reason–we’re not going to run drag radials on the street).” by Pablo Mazlumian from MotoIQ @motoiq

@wink89zero yeah man it’s an inline six. Don’t let people be sucks to you. Way you can tell is that all six cylinders Arron a straight line, hence the “inline six”. V-engines will have a crankshaft with pistons facing in a “V” making 3 cylinders on each side if it was a v6 and 4 cylinders on each side if it was a v8. They have to be equal on a V type block, mostly. Lol

@andyanjari thanks, i really appreciate the reply. Very informative 🙂 as for everyone else, sorry that i wasn’t born with this knowledge. and that’s pretty pathetic that someone who genuinely doesn’t know something has to be scorned by their attempt to learn new things
