Everybody goes Turbo here - Can N/A Supras be fast?

Yeah, thanks for your opinion, good one.

The 7M turbo looks very tight in the engine bay, but have you seen a 1JZ in there? It really cleans up that engine bay. I'd love to have a 1JZ supra...

The bad thing is, in here, most shops that install the 1JZ, they WELD the engine mounts somewhere. I don't like that. I know of a guy who did a much cleaner engine swap, no welding. I don't know exactly how he did it. I've heard that with an 89+ crossmember one can do the swap without welding anything, the engine just fits perfectly. That engine has a reputation for never breaking, just like the 2JZ. No head gaskets, not anything. I'd love to get my hands on a decent-mileage 1JZ... 280HP STOCK? Are you kidding me? One could get over 300 to the wheels with cheap mods and I'd daily drive the fucker. =) That's my dream :P
