The folks at That Racing Channel are well-known for their videos, which cover all types of automotive performance, from street racing to all-out heads-up drag racing and plenty of “girls riding in cars” videos to boot, but the subject of today’s focus is the sweet 6-speed Supra project that they’ve built with the assistance of Real Street Performance‘s Jay Meagher.
Meagher took the ’95 manual-transmission Supra and proceeded to yank the engine out for a rebuild, in the process anticipating big power with assistance from the Precision Turbo GT42-7675 76mm snail that would front the engine. Built to run on E-85 fuel, the engine is based around Toyota’s venerable 2JZ engine block that’s been prepped for the power.
The 2JZ’s performance capabilities have been well-proven over the years, with numerous big-power Supras and other vehicles using the powerplant – even a 2JZ-swapped Mustang has gotten in on the run, turning in seven-second quarter-mile times in the process. The factory block is stellar in application when fortified with the correct internal parts.
In this build, Real Street turned to Manley Performance to use a full complement of their internal gear. The company’s Turbo Tuff forged connecting rods, Platinum Series forged pistons, engine valves, and a valve spring kit were all installed in-house to support the massive power levels.
Check out the video – the sound of the turbocharged sickness as the turbo spools up on the dyno at 8,000 rpm is well worth the price of admission.
Thanks to That Racing Channel for the video.
