Norbie Forums Junkie Location: Brisbane Registered: May 2002	Re: N/A to Supercharged MKIV Supra Conversion Wed, 05 November 2003 06:36 I have no doubt that a supercharged 2JZ-GE can work, and work very well, but my whole problem with the concept is that you're basically trying to re-invent the wheel. You want a boosted 2JZ? Toyota already built one 10 years ago! CAPA are good at what they do, but they're not as good as Toyota and they didn't build a whole engine from the ground up. That's where my "cobbled together" comment was coming from. All this talk of psi and kW and compressor maps ignores the complexity, frustration and enormous expense of doing any custom mods on a late-model car; especially when you're doing something different like this. Learn from the experience of those who have been there and done that, and there are several in this thread! No offence, but I get the impression you've read a lot of shiny magazines and glossy brochures but haven't done much of getting your hands dirty with some serious mods... If you absolutely must be different just for the sake of being different, and you have the patience, foresight and above all budget to pull it off, go for your life. I'll be the first to congratulate you when you succeed. On the other hand if you just want a really fast Supra, do what everyone else does: put a proven turbo package on a proven turbo Supra engine and enjoy walking all over just about anything on the road. Don't make it any harder than it has to be, you'll regret it later! [Report message to a moderator]
