1994 Toyota Supra 25.5 Twin Turbo LSX
 

After finally signing up over here i figured it was time to share what i have going on currently!

This car will be primarily built to be a purpose built drag car but it will not be built specifically for any 1 class but more so to scratch my itch to build a drag car but something a bit different than what's out there.

For now i'd like to race at any import event that will allow it, some grudge racing, but mainly would like to try my hand at heads up drag radial racing here in California with the WCHRA (West Coast Hot Rod Association)

So the decision was made to source a RWD platform that we could run an auto trans w/ a brake for heads up racing............and me being me i decided to build something different and so this became a collaboration between myself, my good friend of many years Ron @ Wicked1Racing who does all sorts of LSX swaps, along with the my guys @ FFTEC MOTORSPORTS.

I'd considered everything from Foxbodys to Camaros to Chevy II's really anything that would be a good starting point preferably lightweight and if it had some work already done to it it would be a benefit but not 100% necessary

HERE IS THE PLAN:

- SFI 25.5 MS cage
- 427 Alum sleeved ERL (9.8:1)
- ETP LS7 285cc heads w/ Jesel rockers
- Twin COMP 78mm turbos (billet center section OIL-LESS)
- A2W Intercooler
- FIC 2150 inj for E85
- Aeromotive belt driven fuel pump
- Holley Dominator EFI
- Holley Hi-ram intake manifold w/ rails
- 102mm TB
- Hughes PG trans built for 3000hp w/ trans brake
- DSS Alum driveshaft
- Strange HD Pro alum case w/ 3.50 gears and spool
- Mark Williams Hi-Torque Superlight axles
- Plan is to run it on a 315 DR

Eventually i stumbled across this 1994 Toyota Supra that was from Florida and at 1st look it wasn't your ordinary babied Supra it was built for drag racing by Race Car Fabrication for a company called WWR (they campaign a 6sec 2JZ Solara)

Here are a few pics of it back then with a stock 2JZ block + promod 88 + nitrous + TH400 http://www.norcal1320.com/forums/img....imgcache.jpeg

And here's a quick vid of it running 8.0 @ 174mph


After 2013 it sat for a year in a container so it will def need some work this is how it looked when advertised (note they switched to a smaller 31x10.5W tire):

So we hashed out a deal and it just so happened that a good friend of mine who is an auto transporter actually ended up being very close friends (like family) with the seller of the Supra so here it is on the his truck heading back to it's new home in CA!

EDITED 9/9/15 AS I FORGOT TO INCLUDE THESE PICS TO SHOW THE START OF THE BUILD!

So the first order of business was to start tearing into it to get ready for fabrication and mock up of the motor/trans so here are some more pics of the car during the process:

so whats the plan for the motor and turbos? you posted nothing in the way of it.

Thanks for taking a look and posting i have a ton of pics and info to post so i'm just trying to post them up in an organized manner so i thought a little history on the car would be a good place to start :angel:

The next post will be the breakdown of the parts going in it!

And if this belongs in a differnt section then by all means feel free to move it mods i just figured it would get some looks for the future specific FI questions i'll have.....

Love it!!!

I see its a planned SEMA build-have you done a SEMA build before? If so, and LSx in a Supra should be easy to get sponsors fro as it will get a ton of Media attention.

Thanks glad you like it as i'm sure i'll get plenty of flack for it from all sides :devil:

I have not built a SEMA car but both of the major sponsors i mentioned have and honestly it's not specifically built just for SEMA but if the work happens in time we'd def. like to try and have it there this year but track results are more my thing!

Cool can't wait to see which direction you go.

Where in Ca are you from?

Love the 2jz. Wish I would have went that route instead of the Dart Next LS. I bought a 2jz VVTi as a backup plan (just in case).

That supra= badass!:cheers:

I'm from the SF Bay Area (Fremont) to be exact do i know you i've seen your screen name on another forum for sure just can't remember which one?? CAFords?

My name's Pat i used to have a low 9 sec EVO RS


Sorry hope i don't burst your bubble but the 2JZ is what WAS in the car i picked it up as a roller to put an LSX in it .........BUT with 2 turbos ;)

What are you putting the 2JZ into?

Thanks wait until it's finished keep checking back for updates :popcorn:

I like where this is heading.

The dart motor is going into a 260Z.

Thanks!

Please lmk what you think good or bad as i post up the info i have thick skin ;)

Nice are you local or do i know of your car?

It's not a black widebody LT motor'd with a blower on it is it?

I seen that same car you have run a few times in FL....can't wait to see what it'll do with some LS power..:D

ughh - reminds me of my Supra -


Looks like this is going to be a fun thread to watch! subscribed.

Nice i figured on a national forum like this someone was bound to see or know a bit about it......probably more than i do lol

Do you remember what it was running or what the set-up was?

DAMN MAN that is one BADAZZ street Supra :cheers:

And props to whomever made the vid very professionally done was that you?

Sorry forgot to add this to the first post but here's what came with the rolling chassis when i bought it:

- 1994 Toyota Supra Auto Non-turbo (kinda why i don't feel so bad bastardizing it lol)

- Expired Cert'd roll cage (MS) needs a few more bars to cert to 25.5

- Basically it's like 3/4 chassis car with all factory body panels (you will see the under floor bars when i post pics later)

- Chassis Engineering Top Gun 4 link w/ ARB

- Chassis Engineering (MS) fabricated/narrowed/braced 9"

- 40 spline Mark Williams axles

- Aerospace brakes all around

- Strange double adjustable (rear) HKS drag c/o's (front)

- Lexan (front & rear)

- Derale trans cooler

- 15x12" Welds w/ 31x10.5W ET Drag

- 15x3.5" Weld Magnum fronts

That evo looks crazy familiar. What did you own before the Evo?

That Evo doesn't waste any time getting down the track.

Can't wait to see where this will go.
