If you need any advice on the Lexus V8 install, and/or wiring, then give Thor Racing a call, they put the V8 lumps into Supras.

Who would want to replace a 2JZ Supra engine with a V8? As much as I love 8 pots, the supra engine is legendary- been tuned to over 2000bhp now, over 400 as standard in factory turbod supras!

Because a 2000bhp 4+ litre V8 is going to perform better all round, than a 2000bhp 3.0 engine.
Just because two engines can make the same power, doesnt mean they do it in the same way.
And both engines do sound fantastic, and being Toyota are superbly engineered.

I was just meaning that most people are happy with a few hundred bhp and seems like a lot more work and effort to swap an engine when the existing one is easily capable. I understand exactly what you're saying- but at even 800bhp a 2JZ-GTE engine isn't stressed and could still be a daily driver! I'm sure people have their reasons though.

This option is mainly for the non-turbo, and auto Supra owners.

That looks well executed - that Japanese V8 looks factory-fit, bar the obvious induction kit.
Looking forward to seeing some videos, and hearing that V8 rumbling.
