My philosophy is If you are making major changes like this, you bought the wrong car to begin with. It's one t hing to add a few HP to an engine, but when you do something like this, you are really creating a hybrid. Great if you are just testing your skills. Not so great if you are re-inventing the wheel(s).
Having said that I would love to know more; sounds mean and breaks the tires loose. He hasn't had it on a dyno. Really. Apparently he also doesn't have a stop watch.
Superior job of fabricating and making it look stock, which was his goal.

His video had a stopwatch at the bottom, if you can subtract.

I am a huge fan of what Jeff has done with this swap, makes me smile every time I see that engine compartment. Isn't most of the point of these cars to put a smile on your face? Mission accomplished.

Some people are car owners.
Some are drivers.
I'm a driver..I don't fear wear & tear, I -am- wear and tear.

It pulls like a mule on roids.....
Mind you it's sitting in a 2900lb Porsche, not a bloated Supra.

Doesn't the 6 speed weigh more than stock 5?
Let's see her roll over the scale..

Love the engineering feat, but the sound and watching it accelerate makes me think its a Tesla. I guess I just love the sound and the way a peakier engine behaves.

TPC closing it's doors.
can't say this comes as much of a surprise.
apparently, Kent will be taking over the parts business with Eric moving on to other pastures.
