    too much but its so much fun! keep the KA in there until you get used to drifting the 240 and/or if you blow it. An SR20 is a little more expensive to replace if you blow it.

          the same way you get any other jdm motor, a japanese engine importer. why wouldnt they sell DSM motors too? they sell imported toyota motors, imported honda motors, imported mazda motors

            the JDM 4G63T comes from their 90-93 Galant VR4's. The 90 motor is different as for the oil cooler for it is air cooled and the 91+ is water cooled. I picked the motor up from CNS Motors in LA.

              is that the same thing as the "cyclone motor"? i dont know way too much 'bout DSM swaps, other than 6 bolt (90-92, at least in the US) is better

                  yes, its the same motor but the JDM has a different intake mani hens why they call it a cyclone motor. Its a straight swap just have to use the US intake mani. Other then that mani, the long block is the exact same.

                      My Porsche is stock except for the APC stickers









                      I honestly can't come up with a dollar amount but I often say I could have put all the money I've put into the Porsche and had a T04R Supra. I'm often tempted to ditch it for one.

                                1uz block is superior but Build a 300. The 400's require all custom work (mechanical and electrical) and are one of the hardest cars ever to work on. May as well been 'drive by wire'

                                Ive been thinking about buying another 300 because I know someone that has a wrecked/totaled Supra in his back yard...would love to run a 2jz on sleeper status!

                                I'll try to come up with numbers/stats later today......too early R'now
