i don't get it...
you spent 30,000 to swap in something far worse than what was originally in the car? why didn't you just put another 3.4 stroker in the car, spend 20k less, and make an extra 20k?
if you did it just to do it. then that's even worse than sayin you did it to make money lol.
almost like saying... "yeah, i cut off my left hand because i had a saw and i could, didn't need that POS anyway, it was always jerkin me around".
but seriously... sure it was put in clean, im sure you spent a lot of time on it, but you just brought the value of it down, and make it worse than it was to start.
you sure have a long thread over on supraforums though, a lot of bashing, but honestly it's deserved when you have to put in a built motor that weighs more than the stock one, to make what the stock one makes with a couple of bolt-ons.

you end up trying to make special mounts, convert everything over, just to run an i6 from a bmw makes no sense.

SBC bored, stroked with addons = around 600.
2jz with slight mods that include a single turbo put it around 480.... (twin turbo setup weighs 105 lbs alone, but removing all of that piping and doing the single bolton upgrade removes about 30-35 lbs from that whole assembly.)

Typical iron block/al. head SBC's are around 500lbs.
Everything Ive seen has the 2JZ around 600-700lbs, and Im pretty sure thats without the turbo and piping...

It even states in your links that the 2JZ without turbos and plumbing equates to be 450lbs. It also puts in the wieght of the fully dressed 2JZ GTE with transmission as well.

524 - 30 lbs for a single turbo conversion is *gasp* 496? pretty close to 480 like i said. and there are a few other things that are removed when doing a single conversion that arent attached to the plumbing of the turbos themselves.
now if you wanna get more techincal a 700r4 weighs 140 lbs plus 35 for the torque converter. a v160 (and a340e built) weigh around 120 and 18 for a clutch and pressure plate. adding even more weight to the v8 setup.
and going by a whole bunch of info i've seen, SBC weigh in at 575 to start. add in forged internals and whatnot and you get my point.
edit, also. you linked to a hybrid forum and expect accuracy? for starters they are showing a 6spd weighing nearly 160 lbs, try looking up the supra hard top registry. people have weighed every single part capable of being removed from the car, and its been done for a while. i wouldn't trust any weights listed by a guy trying to sell stuff wholesale who wants to make sure he makes an extra dime off shipping either.
