I was wondering if anyone had try to swap a 4 cylinders engine in a Supra MK2 before. I know getting a JZ engine is easy and cost/power effective but I was looking at the possibilities of swapping a 4 Cyl Turbo engine and gain a little bit of 50/50 weight distribution and something less heavy than a JZ. I thought about a 4AGZE, 3SGTE or even going in Nissan SR20DET Swap. I was really curious to find out how much hassle I would go throught.:thumbsup:
Whole thread about why this is/isn't a stupid idea. My opinion? More hassle than it could possibly be worth. It's worth noting that there is no subcategory for 4 cyl swaps.
I've only thought of this cause at one point i was going to put a 5mge into my Corona (20r) and my friend wanted to buy the supra and asked if the motor would fit in it. It's doable but i think a 3000 pound car with a 80 horsepower 4 banger isn't going anywhere/
my 2 friends.
one as a f20 *s2000 motor in it
one as a nissan sr 20 det s13 motor in in
unfortunatly they are both hachis.
but ill be glad to ask them a few questions for you about the swap.
one of them won the show many years back with the sr20 swap.
i love the idea. yet again somthing different. they did the same thing with the jgtc supra for a number of years, ditched the 2j for a 3s. all about the weight, and cost effectiveness.
Current Hyundai Sonata 274hp and 269 lb ft 2.0 turbo engine 30mpg in the sonata.
It is FWD though so....
There are some awesome twin/twin scroll small displacement engines out there, most appear to be front wheel drive-so that's an issue.
BMW has a 2.0 turbo 240 hp engine w/ rear wheel, but BMW=$$$$ and they seem to break down frequently-well at least the car not the engines.
2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe
210hp 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder and rwd Gearbox 6-speed manual or automatic with Shiftronic-still relativity new so prob $$$
One of these days some one will plant a potent 4 banger with tubo in the Supra, getting 30mpg on the highway and revving out to 8k sounds fun for a daily driver.
Since this is a V8 forum I suggest you mount two inline four cylinder motors side by side in the engine bay and then modify them to share the same crankshaft.
