No Luck in selling the Aristo cry.gif

Company I'm working with are getting some new crankshafts made up for the 2JZ-GTE which will increase its capacity to 3500 cc whistling.gif

I've also got a Supra 6 speed gearbox tucked away so was thinking should I go for it whistling.gif

While I was there I could get a Lysholm supercharger instead of the turbo's spec'd right it could give 1.5 bar easily with next to no lag.............

decisions decisions unsure.gif

In the current climate the Aristo is not a car that many people would be looking to buy, so if you still really like the car and are prepared to understand that after doing all these mods that they will l hardly add anything to the resale value (unless you get the right enthusiast customer) then I'd say GO FOR IT!!!! biggrin.gif biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

So are you proposing to get rid of the turbos and supercharge instead?

yup.................seen the dyno charts from a s/c'd car today and think a modern s/c will give similair power to a big single with less lag................driveability is what ist about.

Car would evolve into a bespoke track day/Time Attack/Toyota Sprint series car.............stripped interior roll cage etc

i find the best thing to do in these situations is just to do it.

Go for it biggrin.gif

i say yeas, go for it.

i always wonderd why no one had tried to supercharge the 2jz-gte.....it can take lots of boost,

it would be new, and with a 3.5 lots of low down torque, would be an interesting project to say the least, would upset the applcart somewhat
