What the Hell is Wrong with People?

Makavelli · 08-05-2005, 07:54 PM

I've heard some ppl talkin bout swappin out their MKIII engines for big Chevy V8's and sh**. This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Is it me, or if you put a Chevy engine in a Supra IT AIN'T A SUPRA!.

Personally, if I ran up on someone who popped their MKIII hood to show me a crappy American engine, I'd have to slug him.

Am I way off base on this one?

I have to agree with you totally , there is no reason what so ever that someone should be putting in an american piece of crap. I would never think of doing it, and if i thought about doing it, i would probably vomit at the thought

I wouldn't mind having a turbo ls2 in a supra

I like a lot of cars, domestic and import. Hating on one type just because it's not the one you like to no reason to hit someone. My first car a '66 Mustang with just an old 289ci, but just because it was a v8 doesn't make it fast. I think the stock numbers had it running 14.9s. I would have probably put in a newer 351c if I still had it though. If I did that, would it still not be just a mustang?

They could potentially make more power with a v8 anyway if they decide to add some kind of blower, so why shouldn't they do it if they want to be fast? It's their car afterall.

I could have bought a pristine F-body for what i bought my Supra for, but V8's are just too easy :lol: Plus, it's far too much fun blowing by a truck that has a V8 and close to twice the litres

h34r:

Personally, I see no problem with putting a chevy engine in a Supra, as people have been doing it to toyota trucks for a long time. I'd have to ask "WHY!?!?!" but iuf the guy had one sitting around and he blew the Supra's engine, I might agree...

One of the coolest things I've seen is an RX-7 with a 2jz in it, fast as hell, but I somewhere I can hear an RX-7 fan screaming...

i was begining a debate on this myself. i have access to small block chevys like crazy. i considered it, to possibly add a twin turbo setup, but decided it would kill my original concept of saving gas compared to the 6cyl. sometimes doing such an engine swap isnt crazy, just a crazy thirst for power of a brute force.

we're jap imports for a reason

and plus... the v8 guys are only gonna laugh more at what they describe as (jap crap) more when they see american engines in it

y not?!? if the drivetrain can handle the abuse and torture, i say go for it. i drove an 2nd gen rx7 with a 350 chevy and it was fun. one of the customers that comes by has a chevy 350 in the last gen rx7 and its getting a turbo system with it. when you have money you can make anything happen.

Yeah, but as I was reading in a magazine on a guy that had a 1000+hp supra, he decided to get one when his twin turbo corvette got spanked at the dragstrip by "a silly six cylinder"

V8's are too easy in my opinion :lol:

monkihead · 08-09-2005, 03:51 PM

hmmm.... they are a bit easy. want one??

Tig · 08-09-2005, 05:48 PM
