the engine itself cost 3k, all the bolt ons and tuning is about 3.5k, to be fair if the engine hadnt had a water seal failure id be over 500bhp now as that 3k would have gone onto bolt ons, but thats life i suppose.
I love the sound of big single 2jz engines, they are sexual!!!
probably need about 750-800 in a supra due to it being a fat ass, so thats about 20k including buying the car i would imagine, leave bottom end stock, just cams and turbo etc
yeah mate i think £20k is a fair estimate. i was thinking of buying one but there doesnt seem to be any cheap ones as a good starting base, i personally wouldnt want to spend over £10k on a 500 + bhp car unless its 100 % had a pro engine build so supra was out for me due to budget. i will have one though eventually
it will be good to see how you get on with the rx7 too ive always fancied one just the engine put me off. but if you run 700 bhp on a virtually standard lump and it holds together ok then there another car i would be interested in owning
