Holy Jesus

+1 what kinda power?

holy bananas !! look at the tires and the setup....

a little wacky but I'd sport this car. Easy $10K on that transmission with conversion i would think

The shifter is the best part of that entire car XD

Blasphemy!

Where can I get one of those custom gear shift labels? Do they come in carbon fiber?

wonder if the condition of those tires will affect resell value

haha wow!

I feel like I could walk into the exhaust pipe.

droooool

holy crap

Can we just go ahead and assume this thing is extremely fast?

NEED MOAR info!!

2JZ-GTE - nuff said. They can make 1000 WHP on a stock block and crank. And judging by how much work went into the REST of the car, I'd assume he'd probably doing at least 600-700 WHP, minimum. I think it was dyno-ed recently, so I'll try to dig up the sheets lol.

6 160lbs/hr injectors
Custom 14 gallon fuel cell in spare tire well

That's about 10 minutes worth of fun! Not a fan of the body but nicely done sleeper.

Talk about a sleeper! :eek:

Why would you do such a thing, and somehow get no press out of it? Did they never send pics/info to mags to get a shoot done, or have I just not seen a copy...?

Dude, it's a car that has mad horsepower.

Sooooo many out there that do, no story there.


Although it is a beemer with a Supra engine doesn't mean much these days. People are steady putting engines in cars that produce crazy HP and even TQ. No big deal in my book.

I beg to differ on that one... Every where I look, it seems someone took an RB-26 and put it in a Geo Tracker or some ****, and it gets front page pics with some other dumb slut draped all over it. I'm beginning to think that engine has it's own cult-like following lol.

Don't get me wrong that is an accomplishment, and it's a cool car. I just see cars like this too often and to me they have lost the shock factor.

I agree. Hell, I'd rather like to see it in reverse... Take a Geo Tracker engine, drop a turbo thats the same size of the engine, and get it to make double digits of HP. THAT would be impressive...

:icon18:

I dont think theres any shock factor intended. The owner JUST finished the car, and probably wont even pursue a magazine spread at all unless they come looking for him. Such is the way of many cars that have been built in Omaha. Those include a twin-turbo 2000 Silverado that made about 1200 HP/torque and was good for 9's at 5000 lbs (Hot Rod mag readers will recognize this truck as the one that was a 3-time Drag Week winner). The same owner of that truck decided to do a budget build, and put a stock long block 5.3L used in newer GM trucks, into an old Ford Fairmont, and threw a custom built single turbo on it. It ran mid 9's, and the whole project cost them something to the tune of $3000 at the most. The motor was never touched initially until they got a free LS6 Z06 cam and threw it in there, which got them ~50 WHP.

Im sure most of you probably havent heard of either of these vehicles, but I cant give enough props for some of the innovative fabricators in the Omaha area. Some of the ideas they come up with are brilliant and new.

If any of you can find me many other 2JZ-GTE swapped E36's out there that are NEARLY as clean as this and can actually run down a track rather than just be backed out of a trailer and hand-pushed into some dumb car show, please feel free to post up :)

I had a friend who just sold a 1000 whp Supra. The thing was super clean too, I'll have to dig up some pics.

Thats cool and all, but how many 1000HP supra's do you hear about? It just seems like its TOO commonplace to me... Not to bash the car and all. Just my thoughts..

More than most other cars lol. The sad and unfortunate downfall of having a VERY stout motor with tons of potential, I suppose. Only serves to bring the achievement down for others lol.

Yep... You wanna impress me, I want 1500 HP NO Turbo hahaha

N/A power is the new cool, IMHO. Im more impressed with that.

Yeah. It shows more work went into the inside parts... instead of just strapping a tc/sc on it. (Not including dyno time and all)
