Why did they stop using it and change over to the metal impellers?? Do tell Jeff...
The GTE VVTi 2JZ’s had that setup too, no? Everyone replaces them when doing swaps.
I was referring to the pump not the impeller....the JDM GTE’s had that hydro pump setup for the fan no? Hydrofan I believe is what they call it.
B58 is at 613whp, another 300whp to go. So 1000hp+ is the threshold to use a Supra badge? How many years of development does the aftermarket for the MKV get to meet that threshold?Of course not....more realistically, 930whp
Those who make 1000hp+ use 1000hp+ and don’t necessarily have traction issues...you assume too much, and give folks little credit nowadays. Those who don't make 1000hp+, would like to....and a new Supra with capabilities like the previous gen “was” the plan. Why do you think everyone is (was) so excited for a new Supra?? Why is the Supra nameplate an internet sensation?? It’s a fact the MKIV is “okay” in chassis design, and handling....so why do people constantly search for them online and pay top dollar for them?? That is the hype, that is the trend, that is what Toyota is riding on....why it called a Z4 a Supra. If Toyota knew the Supra would be in demand and sell like it did in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s....there would be a whole plant dedicated to its build in the heart of Japan, and not rebadge a Z4. This is why “we” are all here....not because it’s going to be called a Supra, but more realistically to see if it will truly be a Supra that can be the next 1000hp+ sensation. Why is there constant talk about 2JZ swapping?....heck, the head engineer even mentioned it.
It’s all about that 1000hp!!
If it passes Toyota's reliability test, I wouldn't be worried. Many modern Toyota engines built these days have a block and crankshaft that could handle 1000hp (ex: 2AR-FE & 3UR-FE). They have great cooling and oiling. Even though they're open deck they have ZERO cylinder wall issues.Your on brother...stock bottom-end of course, right?
1000hp is not really all that expensive anymore, I mean compared to 10yrs ago. It will only be getting cheaper and cheaper as turbo technology and manufacturing continues to advance. You can get 1000hp today out of a 2JZ for ~$10k...that’s including supporting mods. Quality of parts and how long those mods last is another story.
probably, i bet Papadakis Racing is already building it, but...
