    I'd like to see one of these in a 162, the altezza's must be quicker than our IS though since the motor is a heck of a lot lighter than the 2j

    Yeah the first thing I thought of when I seen it was if I had the time it would look real nice in my 85 supra and I'd get the added bonus of a much newer 6 speed tranny.

    The old supra 6 cylinder engine was rated at 170 hp and this 4 cylinder Beams engine is rated at 210 hp. Amazing a 40 hp gain 2 less cylinders and a big weight savings.

    have you done mods to your supra? llast i checked my cressi and the mk2 supra with 5mge only got 158 hp? i could be way off. or did you 7mge swap it? i know those got around 170. :duh:
