1GZ-FE in Supra

the_fallen · 11-14-2004, 01:28 AM

1gz-fe came out in the very high end century VIP cars. this idea was kicked around on the sconz list at the beginning of the year. toy_leeka, the pistons may not need to sit beside each other, so that side of things can make the engine shorter, but the rods still need to bolt to the crank side by side, so will be considerably longer than a straight six, just not as long as a straight 12. like the 1uz, it will be wide, so will be difficult to fit anything off the sides of it. be a bit nasty though, considering all the pipe work for 6 exhaust pipes down each side. the amount of work needed to get the engine to be a performance engine is huge, lots of head work, new cams, valves, etc, new ecu to control the different air flow characteristics. the engine is designed to be a dead smooth runner, quiet, plenty of torque. not a performance engine, can be made into one, but would take a lot.

just throw more boost at your current engine and go for a hoon B)
