E30 Zone

yeah ya heard me

so has anyone ever seen it done??

i know the aussie lads love these and chuck em in anything with wheels

so looking for any info/links/help what ya got for me???

also alternatives will be considered but i really like the look of the 7mgte turbo lump from the mk3 supras
plus they are very cheap to pick up a donor







cheers all

Daz

what are these plans for

how cheap is very cheap?

donor car 500ish maybe less

Daz the mk3 supra turbo i had for this only cost me £200. You can pick a mk3 supra up for £100 and up. Glad you are going to give it ago. Ill wait and see how you get on before i try and do it No my twins are not for sale, so get that out your head

how dare you suggest that i may be after your turbo,s

will visit soooooooooooooon

You are getting old now, so you will only need the one turbo Also the lump fits into the E30 engine bay nice and snug

daz you deviant dooberboy.

Daz, after reading that article again on Eurocca I am thinking that as it's big power you are after and that the strip is gonna be the natural habitat for such a beast, you are prob best sticking with the auto box found on so many supras. This makes the donor car even cheaper as the manuals are more desirable.

An auto will get down the 1/4 quicker and you can brake boost (both feet on the pedals meaning you are "on boost" when you step off the brake)

Damn you if you get this conversion done before I do

cant see this happening quickly mate

but the more i read the more im liking this idea
donor,s are just soooo cheap too
gonna get the 2.7 sorted for the sport

then strip my auto for all usefull bits incl tech1 kit and get hold of another early 2door shell in the meantime will keep eyes open for a giveaway supra

Only bits and and bobs left. I had to get rid of most of it to make space.

Daz you have got to do it mate, then ill know more about it.

here is an E30 in Australia getting a Toyota 2JZ-GTE engine (out of the MK4 Supra TT)

This one is being prepped for a big power output, I think he's going for 600RWHP

Daz you sick man!

I will 2nd that coment Only sick people think of doing this Daz. Get some help man.

this is the engine from the supra wedge turd yes?

if so then isnt this an unreliable shitter of an engine, and doesnt give much power. hence the reason mk3 supras are worth about £3.50. oh and they also look terrible, and naff...hence the reason they are worth £3.50.

the mk4 was classed as a cheap supercar in its day. the engine is also much more tunable. 400bhp+ is easy i guess. and obviously you can get 1000bhp+ bhp with enough £Â£Ã‚£.

sounds like alot of work daz. steer clear dude.

get an m30 in there or something.

Jon, they get the heavy shitter supra to 60 in the 6 sec bracket and that is in standard trim with 2 cats strangling it.

They have a reputation for headgaskets but once done and torqued down properly, they are strong.

Like he said

But Daz if you realy want to go for something to kick a 3.5 or 2.7 up the ass, then drop one of these in the engine bay. I would give you 2 days and you would be

hhmm.

ok, what about the wiring, custom propshaft, engine mounts, gearbox mounts, custom rad, etc etc....

sounds like alot of fun. and i dont think it could be done on a weekend.

yeh deffo put a 2jz in, thr 7m is abit lame

That's all well and good, but what about about a Skyline twin turbo? Potential seems to be limited only by budget judging from the 1000+BHP monsters I've seen reported. The guys making over 1000bhp don't even stress-relieve the block by all accounts. 1000bhp in an E30 would be.......interesting.

The 7M-GTE engine from the UK MK3 Surpa Turbo is the weapon of choice due to availability and they cost buttons. Personally I would look to retain the engine & box, but as JonB said, you are still gonna be messing with the prop. 3.91 diff is the correct ratio, so E30 one perhaps to be retained, but would be interesting to see if the supra one would fit as it is evidently stronger and is LSD as standard.

The 1jz engine mentioned is the 2.5 twin-turbo unit, as per the pic posted by Vinni. These are only found in TT Soarers and also the Jap import MK3 Supra, so they are nowhere near as common, so cost more. A bare engine with no tubs or loom would cost you £375. These are 280bhp out of the box and the right side of 300 once you junk the cats.

The 2jz out of the MK4 supra costs megabucks to buy.

The skyline lumps are OK, but cost much more to get the power gains from compared to the toyota lumps and are not as reliable.

And some of the worst exhaust manifolds ever. Easy to fix

Not sure if youhave to be a member (I am) but its about a guy who dropped a 2jzgte into an e30

would love to do something extreme but not got the funds, planing a "simple" 2.5/2.8 m50 convert in the search for a non old rickety sounding 2.0 m20, if you have the funds got for it. can always change back if you no like

oh man i may forget the 3.5 conversion and aim for a silly turbo!?!


the guy who is doing some welding on my old girl has 2 supra's with over 800bhp road legal drag cars! mental.

this guy does turbo conversions and more i think he would enjoy the challenge of making a supra turbo powered e30!

but its all about the £Â£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£ i dont have.

ric,

the skyline had 800bhp mate, the silver supra has about 1000 - 1500 bhp!

put it this way pep's it's got a paracute to slow it down on the strip,

i was thinking about doing this conversion last nite lad, might go and see

how much that spare engine would be thats on the floor!!!!

he did say i should build something stupid like!!!

i think that would do it, 1000 bhp e30 on drag tyres!!!!

hehe.

gall.

so what new parts and work do these engines need to make this power?
