engine swap !

[Isphius]

Torque doesnt always necesarily make a car faster, But it does feel nice. Its good to have about the same tq/hp. Buttt, you want the torque down low, before the hps kick in. A 1j that did have the same torque via boost, would make it at a higher rpm than a larger motor, which is no fun. For the tq thing....think of how fast a tractor trailer is with and without a trailer. They make like 2500 lb ft of torque, not to sure on them, but its high. And they are hardly any faster with no tralier because they only have about 350 hp. Now stick a motor with even 1000 hp and 2500 lb-ft of torque in there, And...fast ass truck. And it can still tow a tralier.

NYTRYDR, before anything else do your reasearch go to wikipedia.org they have good info on supras and their engines learn something about the car then reasearch your goals for the car and choose 7mgte or 1jzgte. research torque and hp too since the post turned into a topic on it. if you dont know the difference between r154, w58, and a340e or what they are youre nowhere near ready for a swap. no offense but it seems like youre kinda lost, 1jz is a 2.5l and a 2jz is a 3.0l on the mk4s both can be single or twins. research toyota engines too, it will tell you what the numbers and letters mean. sorry if i sound like an asshole
