maybe he liked they way the 350z looked over the supra and wanted the 2J over the VQ? maybe he wanted it just just because? either way, i doubt the shop you work at or are affiliated with could even come close to doing this swap, at least its not another s13 with an SR.

MOTHER OF GOD......

this thing is lookin like a beast guys!!

*edit* I personaly don't like the way Supras look 95% of the time. The body styling just kinda wore out on me i guess. The 2j is an awesome motor and has MUCH more potential than the VQ, so.... (plus I think Z's a great looking )

So I guess Top Secret was stupid for putting a RB26 into a Supra? They had their reasons for doing that swap, as does this person.

Same thing for when Top Secret put the twin-turbo V-12 into a Supra.

the cool thing is though, XAT is the only shop in the area doing the kind of swaps top secret does.

2 me its just a bandwagon swap. everyone is putting 2jz in everything nowadays. i dont work for a shop nor am i affiliated with one. i doubt this will be much of a challenge for xat seeing as how many other swaps they have done...

i think its badass.
2j in supra is cool but a 2j in a 350z(way better looking car than supra)is way more badass and 2nd off its way more tougher to try to run a 90 mill on the vq in the bay of the 350.

Why?
Cost per HP.
It was more cost effective to swap in a 2J to achieve 700+ HP than it was to sleeve and build the VQ.
I didn't agree with the swap at first but it does makes sense.

The exhaust fabrication is pure sex.
