3s-gte in 89 supra

[supradude27_]

i ment behind the front wheels

[Supra2NR]

i really gotta ask

is the juice worth the squeeze with this idea?
even so if the engine sits behind the front wheels how far behind would it be?
how much for converting that engine to a rwd?
im guessing custom mounts too,
a whole engine swap,
so on and so on
what about you jus use the money for a little more horsepower and get a good rearend setup

i think getting the whole rearend to a whole drift setup will be money well spent rather than the 3sgte conversion in an mk3

i still belive the most cost effective and beneficial conversion for the mk3 is the 2jz

LMAO. Is the juice worth the squeeze. How could you rob that line from the movie man??? lol.

You can put me on record as for the juice not being worth the squeeze.
But hey..., knock YOUR socks off man.

These supras have plenty of power to drift. But using the 3s-gte is probably more money than it's worth. Pretty good balance too. I think its 47% in the front 53% in the back. The soarers came with 1jz-gte and 1jz-ge. The celica all-trac came with an AWD version of the 3s-gte and they came in MR-2s. They both come mounted sideways in the engine bay.

Well there you I believe its conclusive now
Its not worth the squeeze

And ps I did not know what movie that came from, I ddnt know it was a line in a movie till you said it

Still my favorite funniest false line is:
"He has a motec system exhaust"
It will go down as the worst line in a movie for me

i am doing it to be different and i only want to use it as a drift car so u only need boout 400rwhp and u can push about 600rwhp any way if i wanting 2 but the thing is i want 2 no if u do have 2 change it 2 rear wheel drive and how u would go bout doing that

[dcrusupra]

Well, you can only drift with a RWD car. But I'm sure already knew that. The only way I can think of doing it is taking a 3s-gte from an MR-2 and mating a supra transmission to it and making custom tranny and engine mounts, and a custom driveshaft.

i wonder if he will still have money left to get that 3sgte to 400hp
after all that he needs to get it a rwd setup

there is more parts around for the 3s then the 1j 2j and 7m motors and it is not a dear as u think and i think u can buy a race prep one out of japan like wat they use in the mkiv for the gt racing but i just want to know how u woiuld change it to rear drive
