3 stroke- not toyota

 

j series - tooooo long( don't mind 'massaging' firewall/tunnel ,but !!)

 

and lastly right place, right time,right amount of money in pocket.

Just been checking out some lexus sites and it appears that it is possible to stroke the little devil to 93mm and bore to 98mm (head starting to spin).

 

NO,NO,NO, get in car first, stop these evil thoughts.

i keep saying, twin turbo it Pete ;)

 

haha... i'm sure it'll have more than enough grunt for doing motorkhanas as is. your going to need a good supply of tyres Pete.

Crank rated for 1000hp

 

And I thought the K bottom ends were bullet proof

 

I'll have to nuke this one.( or get ryan to drive it)

 

Definite dry sump candidate.

Ive heard of 2JZs making over 800hp at the wheels on stock internals....viva la toyota!!

Someone on the lexus site mentioned 2000hp

 

I'll take that one with a big grain of salt, but I guess anythings possible.

get me some of that salt

 

definitely not a bitter pill to swallow

 

NOW how would the UZE-20 go with that in it.

 

Bugger just the naming rights for kids , I want more!!

Ok with my dodgy quater mile ET calculator...providing you could get traction that sees you running 6.6sec 1/4s assuming a weight of 2500lb.... But again tractions the key. GTR700 for example is running like 1200hp from an RB27DET (approx 70% potential, 11500rpm rev limit) throuugh an AWD system but has problems with traction (and its a much heavier car). Apparently its like driving a shopping cart because theres very limited traction so it tends to skate down the track....
