Some of your might’ve seen my comment on Jalopnik about my uncle’s Z with the Z32 twin turbo swap. Update: he blew the engine. Yup. Gone. But he’s gotten his hands on an LS motor, soooo he might maybe just somewhat of a chance could somehow maybe might swap it into his Z. Maybe. I can’t wait to see and drive the finished project though. Hopefully by the time he’s finished I’ll have gotten my hands on a similar era Supra. Stay tuned... And sorry for my dumbassery of not taking any pictures.

So it took him a blown motor to settle on the more powerful, lighter, more reliable, smaller, lower COG, larger aftermarket, and cheaper motor?

Just playing, the z32 swap is (was) infinitely cooler despite the downsides.

Lol yeah, and it was actually turning out 11s at the quarter mile. He tuned it to around 610hp and knowing him tried to push it even further then BOOM! He’s gonna try to get further with the LS motor, and he’ll succeed cuz LS. I’m dying to see the finished product. But as of right now it’s a ricer because it has only visible mods.
