Sorry, the RB is owned by the 2JZ. Sounds like the VQ may be able to give 2JZ a run. I am honestly shocked I am typing this BTW. I am real interested in what would be required to make a 1200hp+ VQ. You can do that with a 2jz by just calling a shop and sending money. Right now I don't know a single VQ (besides this drag monster) that has even come close. If you can adopt the lessons learned from this drag car and make a daily drivable VQ with 1200+ hp that would be a truely amazing thing. Not saying a Supra with 1200hp is truely a daily driver but people do make streetable cars that powerfull from all the reports you read.

 

+1 ... that what i thought

 

+2

Even if you could "just send money" it would be ridiculously more expensive than a built 2jz.

I still like VQ though.. But i don't think it's at peak performance as a street car for the money. Maybe in the future. I think the VQ will take a step further once the new GT-R is out.

 

I would actually like to know what is required (in the block/head) to get a 1200+ hp VQ. Sounds like they have Off The Shelf bearings they are willing to sell you. I am sure it would require the standard headgasket, studs, etc upgrades. But they are getting 2000+hp so 1200hp would be much less stress. Maybe the VQ block properly sleeved is stronger then we give it credit for. Maybe they sleeve it soo much that you don't have enough cooling passages left for a street car? Who knows.

 

that's not even a car any more....jeeze that's sick.

 

You guys should post this over at www.supraforums.com for a laugh.

 

Thats freaken sweet...

Did you all watch the video they posted?

He ran like a 7.4 at 191 mph

 

I would really love to see what they can do to make a streetable Z like that..

 

Seems like the place to go for the East Coast guys, since GTM is located in Cali.

 

Anyone got 40K laying around they want to blow?

 

I agree... I don't really consider this car a Z I mean it has a god dam parachute

 

When you have wheelie bars, you have officially left the street car world.

 

add 140k more to get that car..

 

That is by no means a funny car. There is some stock z there somewhere. It is most likely a double frame rail 25.1 car. Far far away from a funny car. This particular chassy spec is used by most outlaw 10.5w race cars now adays.

 

Huh?????How much money do you think it takes to make a 2jz put out 1200hp...I hope you aint one of the fanboys that think you just turn this **** and buy this $50 part and viola you got 1200hp....Everything is reworked on those high hp Supras....Everything you do to the VQ to make those power levels you will have to do to the Supra motor....The price tag will be around the same once you start going deep into 1000+ hp levels......I know of a few guys that have spent well past 60-100k on high hp Supras...Achieving those power levels aint cheap regardless of which car you are modifying unless you can do the job yourself....

 

that 2nd pic is kinda funny in a way

I mean, where's the engine? All I see are turbos, turbo piping, and a massive intercooler

 

40K should be more then enought to get a built engine. Probably more like 25K. Then add double that for the rest of the setup. Like was stated its in the 60K+ range for these type of numbers, more if you have a shop do all the work.

 

^your budget is a little optimistic

 

Who cares. Not me. I would buy a real car before a sank 100K into a 350Z or a 10 year old Toyota.

 

Well this is what the supra store charges for a package of that level http://suprastore.com/stag8upkit12.html the would be tranny, supporting mods and rear end so yea like 60k is a nice figure
