my inbox is near full from talking to chelle. He has the ferrari replica with the v12, dry sump, and T56 tranny. I guess it comes down to the hard or harder way the wow factor and (oh my god you are an uber fab man Adrian) of the v12 or the not as hard but still difficult way of the V8, which being a supra owner I have some experience with these motors (they have the same head layout and i know where to get parts for them) I think the initial cost of the v8 will be a little more (unless i find the v12 with a 850 6speed). where as down the road a rebuild on the v12 will he hella expensive. well I think I'll go with the v12. at least that's my mind set right now. things might change right before i buy a motor. you never know

Well here's where I'm at right now. I found a BMW v12 with (a bad fue pump, so the guy says) so only one side works currently. he's willing to sell the motor, ecu, 4speeed auto for $900. I can mate a t56 to this motor but it's some fab work I could not do for a little while. the pros are poping my hood and having a v12 :burnout:and in time maybe having a twin turbo v12 but the con of buying 12 pistons and rods come up not to mention machine work to a v12. my other option is a 4.0 or 4.3 Lexus V8 (price verys quite a lot) there are more tranny opetions for this and i think i could find a 5speed that bolts right up or buy a bell housing for 200-300 and mate a v160 to it (toyota 6 speed) the pros os this motor is that it's aluminum ( I believe) and superchargers for it can be found easy enough. any ideas, suggestions, comments, rants?

it always scares me to hear n00bs talk about things they don't know much about. but it seems you got everything sorted out now. I'd suggest going with a direct port 6cyl kit. you can drill and tap each or your runers if you have carbs. and the same can be done for a intake plume. I have to try this mega squirt out it sounds niffty. i got friends using it but I've never dabbled with it. here my my key notes direct wet kit best thing to go with ignition should be upgraded can your drive train take it? don't run it too long if you like your pistons (they will get hotter)

6th gear. wow i only goto 4th and get more like 10-12mpg

I'd buy just a chassis. I don't need doors or panles, i can make all of them out of fiber glass. and I'd pick up a shell for free if someone wanted to get rid of it. I could always weld up a cage and make it a light weight drag car

as much as i like the 2jz in my supra i want a v12 in my z

So how's the v12 M different from the other v12s? but anyways I'm told. i found one near my house, as soon as i have the cash I'm picking one up

it's morning!

I'm trying to get a job at a zr1 specialty shop. the owner has like 4 or 5 zr1s and works on this F40 that's got the current highscpeed scca record of 245mph

wine glass on a hood? penny right on the egnien now that's a motor putfile works

sweet. I might go down this road $1200 for most around me

I'd love to do this swap. or go with the 4.3 version. but I'm aving a hard time finding one and I'd lke to use a 6speed but the toyota 6 speed goes for a lot, I know I own a auto supra and have been looking for a 6spee awhile.

that's what she sid but honetly, cheap? I'd be down for a v12 in my Z but I don't see anything v1 being cheap.

one of the 2jz swap guys did it. I'm not a huge fan of the torsional LSD, I'd rather have a clutch type. but if you are not drag racing or rally racing with it I guess it will do well. but most the supra guys that even got BPU to jsut 450hp sway it out pretty quick

my little 3 liter 2jz has one. works jsut fine. I'm trading up for a bigger turbo though.

How much boost are you running. also maybe your knock's warn out and going off too much the crystals break down and let off too much voltage and even normal engine vibration or a speed bump could set it off enough to ull timming. I'd go with a standaloen being the best or at least a piggyback for ignition.

VVT-i GTE head anyone

you win

It's a smog carb but it was rebuilt about a year or two ago. it's just been sitting. the car runs fine when i first start it but after it warms up it stalls out. I'll post pics later today

I bought a le Mans with a 350 for $140 and i was going to put it in my Z (the 350) the car reved fine in park but uner load it's crap. after looking into it it looks like it's getting stuck in high idle the primaries are open all the way and the secondaries only open up about a 1mm. also there seems to be a small fuel leak in a cracked fuel line by the tank. my question is. is the choke screwed up if so how do i fix it (a choke kit?) and is my fuel leak giving me thios problem?

hella clean!
