Next with the Supra engine, wouldn't the length of the engine (beings it's a straight 6) have cause for him to cut into the fire wall? As far as transmissions go, I would do a 3 speed dogbox. Also if you plan on doing 1,000 hp+ you'll need custom rear axles to hold that power. Otherwise you'll be snapping them like toothpicks. Then if you're going this far into the project you may want to do a completely different rear differential. You'll need a custom driveshaft made, and with all the differences in the drivetrain you'll need a custom made support brace that connects from the rear differential to the transmission. You'll also be looking at custom made motor mounts. These are just a few things that you need to take into account. Just make sure this is exactly what you want, because it's gonna cost a lot of money and if you don't like it afterwards then ya can't get your money back.

how much you're goin to make at 10 psi? probably 300 hp.
The turbo lag would kill you runing against 20B's.
My 20B on the first dyno test maked 411 hp at 8 psi and with a "rich" FAR of 10.0, with 93 octane gasoline.
rgonza can make a 1,000 + hp 20B RX8 easy but for what? he don't whant a dyno queen, he whant a car with a good power band that can be transfered to the wheels and can be used daily, a thru street car.
For your information his car already maked 10.2 sec on the 1/4 mile, with 93 octane gasoline.

Bigloundh,
Thank you for your words.......................
Probably this guy never taked a ride on a car with a 20B.
If one day he do it he would change what he think about them.
Our 20B convertion was great and we continue using our cars daily, without any problem,
to give you and example yesterday I maked a 2 hours trip back and forward
all the way with airconditioning, and in every red light everyone whants to run or whant
to see the car spinning the tires.

just so you know (like it really matters) I'm not against a swap by any means, I just would have picked a more potent powerplant for it, but hey, at least it'll be different and probably pretty fast too so good luck with it dude. At least we'll probably see more fo this thing then we ever did of the monster 20b acosta built like 2 years ago, 800+ hp but not a single 1/4 mile time or anything to my knowledge....sigh

Good Luck with your project. Thank GOD no one here is funding it. Its your money and I say spend it however you damn well please. There is nothing wrong with your idea of making a half Rx8, half Supra called the Supra 8. Sometimes, it is not about who is the fastest. If the man wants to make a HEMI powered 8, than let him. Good Luck again.

no not yet, the motor is close to 400 pounds, but it going to be single turbo, so it should way from 350 - 400 pounds, i will give you the official weight next week.
