Talking Wow!

Well It seems you have been watching 2 fast 2 furious...lol. Umm, the 2JZ - GTE engine IS a twin turbo...I don't think they had a single turbo version either.

You are looking at about $80,000 to build a car to what you want, that includes engine, suspension, tires, and probably weight reduction...or HUGE tires. From my personal experience, these cars like to spin their tires, and they do it with grace most of the time, but they still spin...when you spin, you loose traction, and milliseconds, to seconds off of your 1\4 mile time, even your 0-100KM time.

You would be wise to read up on these cars, and who are using which ones for what. If you just want that MK4 look, great, but you will be punching out about $25,000 USD if you are lucky. Ontop of the costs to build your machine.

Now if you're budget is no consideration, then yes, I LOVE the MK4 look, and that engine STOCK pushes 320hp, and I think it was 334 Torque. With UPGADED, not replacing them, turbo's you can EASILY push 400-550 CHP (Crank horse power). I believe they were wider, but not by much. You would be wise to bore out the block(I would say 20mm over), upgrade the turbo's, 3.5 inch exhaust, put a K&N cold air intake on, and get yourself a boost controller, and a turbo timer(For safety). All those should push you up to about 500HP.

Now there is also some other stuff that you have to do in order to make all that stuff work, and that could be explained by someone else, because I would not trust my OWN word in that.....so I hope this helps you out a bit, I am sure there will be other posts.

Our Supra’s, which art in the driveway,
Hollowed be thy power, thy mods are great, thy speed endless,
On the road or at the track. Give us this day free of cops,
And forgive us our impound charges, as we forgive those who are slow.
And lead us not into speed traps, and deliver us from the interceptors,
For thine is our car, the power, and the glory…forever and ever….amen.
