1JZGTE Horsepower potential?
 

I know the 2JZGTTE is capable of a good 1k horsepower when it's all modded out, but what kind of HP output can you get with a 1JZ or a 1.5JZ setup (1.5 = 1JZ w/2JZ rear end if I'm not mistaken)?

1.5 JZ is a 2j bottom end with a 1jz Head. You can expect as much HP as your wallet can handle.

all engines can gain lots of power
 

I mean cmon pple gotta figure out right now
If you have money, and I mean all the money that will be necesarry
Any engine can be a 1000hp monster
U can probly get a geo engine to do 1000hp
With enuff money,

The question should be which one is gonna be cost effective

Sure with about 100k the 2jz will be a 800hp monter capable of 9 sec. Passes

And sure the 1jz can do this too,
It can be a 800hp monster doing 9 sec. Passes
but the question is, which one is gonna be easier and cheaper to achive?

My opinion is to already start with a good powerplant, its a good jumpstart to ur project that you're gonna be thanking yourself later on in the build

I know we got turbos, but there still is no replacement for displacement when it comes to maxed out engines, so find an engine with a big displacement already
At least a 3.0

You don't wanna fully build an engine and find out later on that it can only handle this much, until you do sum really pricey shit

So do a lot of reasearch b4 devoting funds into a project

Well I don't have my project Supra just yet, but I will soon...I'm doing my research beforehand before I start dropping cash on the car. The one I'm looking at has a hole in the engine block and needs minor body/interior work, so I'm gonna pump out an engine swap right off the bat.

Basically what I'm asking is what's the easiest (cost-wise, skill-required-for-engine-wise, etc.) engine to drop in and mod in a Supra out of the 7MGTE, 1JZ, and 2JZ?

I want it to be pretty damn fast, but I don't want it to be just a track monster that's pointless to drive on the street, so I'm trying to figure what my HP goal is going to be as well.

Well I'll tell you what I should have done
I realized this after I bought my mk3 right now
I wasn't using my head, cuz I love this car

Buy a mk2 supra and drop either a 7mgte or a 2jzgte on it
The car is lighter than mk3s and it looks like it can handle better
Definitely won't be jus a track monster
But can also be a street terror, or you know what, don't do it on the streets
Jus, it can be a daily driver too

Well the reason I want to make it a street monster is because none of these jackasses down here have shit and act like hardasses with the little Civic hatchbacks and stock camaros/mustangs with straight pipes they have.

I know like, maybe a total of about 10-20 out of the few hundred tuners I've seen around, actually raced, or talked to around here actually have any decent amount of power.

And what kind of work do I have to do to a 2nd gen Supra to get a 2JZ or 7MGTE in there? Preferrably I'd rather go the 2JZ...From what I've read (And read I have) I think I really like the 2JZ alot more than the 7M, but if it proves much less of a financial headache to get a 7M in there, I might just do that.

Enjoy your 7m, I do.

amen brother

about the same amount of work included in putting a 2jz in an mk3
but with the mk2 you get the benefit of lighter car to start with

and with that said, i think you will probly have the fastest car in yor town

i do too

So a 1.5JZ setup in a MKII I think would be pretty badass.

All I'm really going to be doing with the car is making it look nice, nothing crazy, and mostly engine work. Restore the body/interior, then just pump everything else into the engine. Make it somewhat of a sleeper...

Well, with a MKII it'd technically be a sleeper.



What kind of Horsepower have people gotten out of a 7MGTE?
