ble, screw all that go V8 baby!!! haha!!!!! (jk)

these kinda remind me of all other swaps that people conjur up in their soupy brains....chevy big blocks in 240sx, sr20 in AE86, RB26 in a 67 mustang (damn f&f 3).....i understand that people want to be different, and i appreciate the fab work it takes, but cross breeding the spieces just isn't right to me. it kinda destroys the original car's identity. ill give props to the guy, but i give it 4

the only reason the 2j has less traction is because of the high horsepower they can be easily tuned too .in japan its all about balance .in america we want speed and so we bump cars up to crazy horses not thinking about traction issues.

Yea I'd be happy with a car that has 600ish HP with similar torque numbers. Rather than a HP queen.

Sc with a rb in it is soooo dope. Thats what there all about in Japan being different when people see this car they will abviously know that whover built it knows their stuff and can fabricate just about anything.

From what I could decipher it stated 3 rotor in the text. I guess thats the new Origin Soarer for 2007.

Yes it's a 3-Rotor... What a delightful combination to see it in a SC...

So, no one thinks the 2jzgte is overrated? I sure think it is, but there is some good reasons as to why it is.
Care to explain.

[QUOTE=Deceptik1;2516301]How do you feel about this?



I feel that it is likely the least reliable SC on the road

It's a pretty sick setup, and i'd rather see the rotary in there as opposed to the RB.
