May 6, 201115 yr comment_522189 OK, I have always had an obsession with the trd 3kr engine from back in the day, realised I was never going to get a real one so I decided to build my own. I don’t recommend this conversion to anyone I did it just to be see if it could be done. It took a lot of time and if I was not a fitter/turner a lot of money. Hope you find it as cool as I do. - Phil Matthews-Frederick. To save a lot of questions here are the specs.

May 6, 201115 yr comment_522213 Strut towel is not cut, thats a wire. Amazing job, any power figures?? I guess I'm asking - besides the coolness factor, was it worth the effort? Edited May 6, 201115 yr by ScottKE1X Report
