I am currently working on a project car, and i want to do an engine swap from a non turbo supra to the 2jzgtte v-spec, i was wondering if any of you knew of any difficulties that i may encounter, and if the engine is the only defference between the two cars, and also i am looking for a 93-98 supra body, so if you are or know anybody who has a supra with a shot engine let me know, thanks

I think your going to have issues with the transmission with an engine swap like that.

auto NA tranny will only hold to around 350 rwhp
5 speed will hold 450-500 rwhp

I could be wrong but I always thoght Toyota only used one T in their engine codes regardless of single or twin turbo so shouldn't it be 2jzgte? and also what does v-spec have to do with a supra, isn't that nissan only?

sorry, just a little confused.

yes...its 2jz-gte for the TT and 2jz-ge for NA

sory for the confsion, i only meant to put one t in 2jz gte i was out of it, and i meant to put j-spec now v-spec, and the 6 speed tranny is included in the engine package, and my mechanic will be able to adapt it, if the tranny is the only minor issure then i should be good right?

i think you might need to swap the diff...your gearing will be weird
swapping the diff means one new axle...i forget which...
so on after the tranny youll need driveshaft diff axle
the tranny tunnel needs to be modified too...the 6 speed wont fit unless part of the hump is cut and raised

good luck with the project

a project like that sounds like fuuunnnn.... you're not doing it yourself??

i don't know supras, but i know cars, and i know that other than the clutchbell, manual transmissions are smaller (or more correctly worded, compact) than automatics.the only cutting i'd imagine is for the shifter to come through. also the clutch pedal and cylinder and all that would have to be installed under the hood and the brake pedal and mabey even the brakes would have to be moved or modified.

otherwise i give you "mad props" for coming to the realization of a manual transmissions superiority and the crazy initiative of doing this whole thing. good luck in the future... and have FUN with it.

neh it has to be modified...it has been done numerous times...generally it is smaller...but there are 6 gears in this tranny...read up on it some more and youll find you have to modify underneath where the center console is and a little forward...but not so far as the shifter...parts can be ordered from toyota

youll have lots of fun when you finish the car off

Cool. Pretty damn cool. so what kind of modding is this thats required? like hand held cutting wheel modding or torch stuff?

i know someone with a burgundy one up in NJ... he trashed the turbo/intercooler in a minor accident, but otherwise i'd buy the car.. he just rebuilt the engine... he might sell it.. it has some NICE sideskirts and stuff... as well as some crazy wheels.. like 12 in/ wides in the rear.

its a turbo and manual. (the way sports cars should be)

there is some cutting that can be done by hand...
the parts available to complete the hump as well as tranny mounts can be found from toyota

Oh, wow, pretty damn nice.
