Anyone know the dimensions, weights, bore, stroke and compression of this engines?

I'm just running through a train of thought

If anyone has a pic of one with the head removed that would be tres useful too

Can't help you on those dimensions but have seen one fitted in a MK2 MR2 before.

Nice conversion.

Insane. Where the hell did they put it? Did they fit it in the cabin and worry about where to sit afterwards?

I've seen one in an IS200...so it should fit a Supra....oo-er have I just given the game away???

I'm pretty sure it was the 3UZ or maybe the 1UZ, i'll try and dig the article out sometime.

It wasn't the fitting of the engine which was problematic, more the turbo charger AND supercharger. It was in Turbo magazine (US mag) last year.

Yep, TTE themselves did one for a laugh. Nice to know that at least one of the big Jap manufacturers still has a 'sense of humour dept.'

Does any one have any pics of the unit? Out of vehicle? In vehicle? Heads off? special versions?

1UZ pics would proabably do as well...

Nathan · 24th March 2004, 02:58 PM

Cheers Nathan - HKS have a drag Supra with a V8 in it...I take it that is the 3rd engine....in which case are there any specs on the engine available? Do HKS do turbo kits for the general public to buy?
