Lexus twin turbo?
ADD - 5/6/06 at 02:54 PM

Anyone out there had any experience with the lexus soarer 2.5 twin turbo engine? I have an oportunity to buy one, 275hp as standard sounds like fun to me. Even better, has anyone got one in thier 7?

afaik they only come with auto gearboxes though there is some info on the lexus v8 forum about converting them to fit supra gearboxes. i'd also put money on them being quite large so you'd need a +4 chassis and a bit taller or a viento to fit it in..

ps http://lextreme.com/forums/ this is assuming they use the same bellhousing pattern as the v8 of course..

they are a supra motor so any supra gearbox will bolt up

my brother has done a supra twin turbo engine into a lexus sc300... sam chassis and he used a standard trans from a supra as well. i have 2 sets of twin turbos lying around if anyone is interested...
