i did a search; first thread was a 92 that some dude started a flame war on so it was useless..

this was short, but at least had pics:https://ls1tech.com/forums/conversio...my-hybrid.html

went back to 07 using just the keyword 'supra' on this section.

unfortunately it looks like the ones whove done it didnt document it (here)

Im am sure if you follow a build on a Lexus sc300 that should help out. Just make sure you swap out the diff and axles from a M6 car. The manual trans cars have stronger parts.

lol yeah, funny how cheap jap motors are getting while complete LSX/M6 swaps are still over 3k

the RB20DET im looking at for my 240sx has dropped in value over teh past year.. they were all about 1500, now i can get one for about 1k =/

the only diffrence in the gt and the gte blocks are the oil squirters and most if the really high hp guys are blocking off their oil squirters the gt block is just as strong as the gte get a turbo mNifold ans run a decent size single and msth and make whatever power you want to turn it to. my buddy has been doing supras for 10 plus yrs he is making 637 rwhp on a stock 150k+ miles block And its the only car hr has so its a testament to the dd abilities. srry Bout all the mispelled word im trying to type on an iphone while at work lol doing it quickly

yeah, i guess with the '30k mile rule" a turbo 2j (or rb20) would be cheaper than an ls...

but...


...do it anyway
