Even if you turbo charge an 8 it still wont stand a chance against a stock evo srt 4 sti or the infamous 350z..thats why i told my 8 in the first place..just wanted tp help...250whp is average for the greddy i am assuming..just a waste.
Are you retarded?

Wait, wait. You want him to supply you with a car to beat on? How about I brag how I can beat your supra using only a stock Ferrari 599. You supply me with the Ferrari. Are you SCARED? Scared! ha ha ha.


I win at the internets.

Anyway, he's gone- I just feel like leaving his idiotic posts as a warning to other trolls for now.

It's funny you mention that because I've thought the exact same thing about those pos 2JZ-GTE pieces of garbage. It's a craptastic motor that every fanboi loves to use when they think they need to prove something to someone or compensate in some way for inadequacies elsewhere in their southern abdominal region. It has an absolutely atrocious powerband. Sure it's tough. Big deal. So is a piece of granite. Boost comes on like a florescent lightbulb. It starts off with a little bit down low and then just creeps up on you. Suddenly about a minute and a half later it just lights up and bam, full power. Atomic clocks are actually calibrated based on Supra turbo lag! That's how pathetic they are!

Aside from being tough I have no idea why anyone likes that pile o'crap. Unless of course we are talking about peak power internet bench racing. It's good at peak power. It can make tons of it. However at 3 rpm lower than it's ultimate power peak it's only making 1/5th the power. It's a very long engine which means it has terrible weight distribution. The intake runners on the aftermarket manifolds that everyone uses and love are so short that a limp dicked midget could be proud standing next to it. But hey, the engine itself is long! It's also quite heavy. It's powerband is even narrower than an F1 car's.

Sure it's a freeway monster. Granted it would lose a drag race off the line to a Prius driven by Richard Simmons with a backseat full of fat people sweating to the oldies. Once you get to 80 though...hang on! It's a different story up there! But it's tough, pretty, and is popular in Japan which makes anyone using one true JDM yo!

Sure you can make fun of the 20B. Say whatever you want. No it's not the cheapest engine. It's not the most economical swap. Good engines rarely are cheap unless of course they are plentiful which changes that a bit. However a 20B is still a rotary and some people just love rotaries. I'm one of them. I could care less what is faster, cheaper, etc. If it's not a rotary, I'm just not feeling it. However if I was going to run any other engine besides a rotary, it wouldn't be a Supra motor. It wouldn't be an Evo motor. It wouldn't be a WRX motor. Don't even get me started on how crappy those things sound! It would be the good old overused LSX V8. Decent motor. Not the be all end all but decent. It does everything that the 2JZ-GTE does, just better in a much lighter package. So you see although you criticize the 20B as being overrated, you are actually driving the epitome of overrated in the car world. There is NO more overrated engine than yours! The only thing the 2JZ-GTE engine had going for it is the fact that it's development and refinement was outsourced to a German company! Toyota couldn't even make it a decent engine on their own! Mazda can be proud that only they design, test, and develop the rotary!

Pot! Meet kettle!

BTW: A lousy little rotary engine has won LeMans. How has Toyota done with their attempts? Remind me again. I forgot. Keep in mind the most recent winning Toyota race car is using a hybrid electric system!
