Quad Turbo V12 from two Supra engines
My uncle is retired, has lots of tools, and is an evil genius ....

holy F, now thats a friggen engine!!!
|
OMG: that's amazing. What's the estamate on HP and what's it going in?
|
Drop it in the supersport!
|
what is it going in????
|
Holy s@$t that is alot of engineering. Awesome work! Are those 2JZ's? I had a friend that played around with those motors. Never to your uncles extent, but he got close to 900 HP out of his and that was just one. ;-)
|
That sucker will snap chicks necks and prop shafts in no time!
|
Those are rb Nissan engines right?
|
If they're out of a supra, they are 2JZGTE motors
|
WOW
But what is it going in???????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????? |

I think those are 1JZ engines, but could be wrong. Cool project and LOTS of machine work! Looks as if he flipped one of the heads around, created a custom valve train for it, and now the exhaust exits the top of the engine similar to the newer Ford Turbo Diesels.
Can't wait for more progress pics! |

Incorrect:
Look again, not headers but induction pipes that lead to a collector that, without question will be bolted to an aftercooler. The hot side of the turbos pretty much bolt right onto the heads. Bad ass no doubt. |

http://i.imgur.com/zOQ4ujy.jpg Now on this pic looking at the front of the engine again you will notice the left head is not machined, but the right head is... they were swapped making the intake ports be on bottom now while the exhaust in on top. To get the cam gears on the right head to the front of the engine he would have to machine new half moon cutouts along with other work I'm sure. http://i.imgur.com/F02K5Pd.jpg Also in the final pic there is no place for fuel rails or injectors. Not to mention a plenum style sheet metal intake would much easier and probably less time-consuming to build than that nest of snaking pipe. That is most definitely exhaust! Those thin pieces of sheet metal are probably just a flat surface to reference ending each pipe. I'm sure that is where a thick flange will be welded for the turbo/turbos to mount too. http://i.imgur.com/g0derKu.jpg You can't expect him to use stock turbos after all the custom machine work and fabrication that has gone into this thing either. I imagine it will be a big single or small twin turbo setup. |
wrong again, rats, well it's happened to me before may happen again :D
|
I hope he puts it in that wooden car in the 2nd to last pic.
Hey Grant, I bet his toolbox is messy... lol :D |
That is NUTS! Awesome on so many levels! Of course we will need a sound clip when it's fired up and running.

Next update:
* Mated the engine to the transaxel and started to process how to package everything * PVC is a rough frame of how the frame will ultimately look, getting an idea for space and where things will route * Cardboard box around the transaxel is half of a fuel tank that is planned * New linkage mechanism so the 6-speed can be shifted from up front with a pair of Morse push-pull cable(s). * Engine will be twin turbo'd with two - Garrett GTX 3076's with .85 AR turbines .... the car will be twin turbo, not quad. |

Very cool!
|
Very very cool!!!!!!!!!!!
|
Has the engine been started yet, video please, if it has. That thing is beyond wild.

He said he only wants it to be him and his other good good buddy in the room, in-case they need to talk/move quick rather than a zoo of people. I'm pretty pumped to see it run though.... its going to be insane. |
Damn that is sick!
|
bummer she'll only be a twin... but still... those straight 6's are crazy responsive. That thing will turn heads and snap necks for sure...
|
any updates to this crazy project???
|
|
:eek: damn that sounds good!!
|
he is a wonderful man, don't know him, but love him:)
