*the numbers are quotes taken from 2nd post on supra tt engine swap thread by charlie97L*

1) Yes, the 2JZ has 320 HP stock, and the 3S-GTE has 225-255 HP (depending on the year). However the 3S-GTE has more potential than the 2JZ.

how so? a stock longblock that can hold over 1000 whp and run 10.5's???....

2) It is interesting to note, that in almost every instance when a tuning company has built a Supra to race, they put in a 3S-GTE. Why? You can get a lot more HP out of it. (I know, if you can do this, why can’t you put the 2JZ in the Celica? It is because you can mount the 3S-GTE longitudinally in the HUGE Supra engine bay, lots of room to work.)

um wrong...they swap cause its lighter and can make up to the legal amount of power for that race circuit, and because there is more room to work with... and they do not swap for a 3s when on a drag circuit.

3) The 3S-GTE has won multiple World Rally Championships for Toyota, and Rallying is really the most strenuous test you can put on an engine. What has the 2JZ done, besides been in the Fast and the Furious? Nothing.

true the 3s-gte is awesome, its used in rally cause its light and makes good power, they also keep it in a celica for rally! supras arent meant for rally! and just to let you know, f&f was a ricers dream come true...it doesnt give the supra any credit that it deserves.

4) While I’m on the F&F, Supras are not 10-second cars stock. And it’s going to take a lot more than “15 grand” to make a 2JZ hit the 10 second mark.

correct...supras arent 10 second cars...they 7 second cars...i have personally worked on a supra w/ only about $7g and it is a low 11 second car. (no n2o, we dont believe in that stuff) just have to be smart and know what your doing.

sorry for bringin up the supra again on a celica forum...but someone obviously knows a lot more about celicas than they know about supras...

ill admit i didnt buy my car, it was given to me by my mom. She bought it new and because i have payed my dues, gotten a lacrosse scholarship, done the grades and havent done any dumbass things like my brother did to have his camaro sold. but i know what my limits are and what needs to be done.

when my friend comes over with his civic to install something that he bought for $10 i laugh at him and refuse to install it. he knows i baby my car, **** i did a transmission swap and completed everything the way it would have come stock, cept with a stage 1 clutch, and short shifter. but everything is mounted where it would have come, all the clips the clutch depressed to start it.

i hate half assed cars and i hate even more a supra that has KYB shocks with aerospeed coilovers because JIC magic or Tein supers are just to expensive for the little rich boy who doesnt have a job and has like 8 speeding tickets and daddy just pays the insurance even though his son is a ****ing incompetent jackass.
