Still, best first time swap is an S series motor for sure, just much less extra nickle and dime stuff to need to pay or pay for and easier to get info for. A modified 3SGTE should push more power than a 2GRFE without issue, though the 2GRFE's great torque and linear power band are tough to beat. 3SGTE has the most potential for the money due to the fabrication costs of something more exotic, leaving you money for mods. and for being a co-creator of the YouTube series Mighty Car Mods. Then you'd have to get a transfer case onto that M/T. Blair Lyndon Joscelyne (also known as Moog) is an Australian composer, musician, producer. Problem is cost, wouldn't be shocking to pay $2000+ for a complete engine, harness, and ECU. Packaging can't be too bad, guys shoe horn them into MR2s, not sure what M/T they are using though as I can't think of any that shipped with it new. Internals are forged too though FI could be an issue without easy control over the ECU and the 10.8:1 compression ratio with port injection, but I think it's been done. There is strong evidence the rated numbers are conservative as my V6 can do 0-60 somewhere between 5.5-6 seconds, probably less with better tires and dyno runs on others show power numbers at the wheels very close to rated power at the flywheel. Fell in love with it the moment I booted up Gran Turismo 3 for the first time.Īs for the 2GRFE.

It was probably running restrictors to meet class spec too in later years but I'm not up on regulations in that series at that time to know if they could do that. IIRC for most of it's run in the GT500 class the Supra had the 3SGTE, probably to save weight and better balance for the car.
