I only know what he told me about the build/show. I don't know my Asian imports at all. I know enough to fix them, but nothing about thier historys.

I know they just pulled the motor out of one of thier NOPI cars and shoved it in there. Last time on the dyno that motor was around 900hp IIRC.

being a big toyota fan (supra/land cruiser) this looks interesting, im subscribing!

Here are some pictures of the 1jz swap that I mentioned earlier. I can't wait to hear how his bell housing plate system works!

Also note the spacers under the castor blocks as well as the cut out in the crossmember.

Interesting stuff. I still can't wrap my brain around the idea of swapping motors in 944's.

I don't want to discount this as anything less than a great idea, but I love the motors these things come with. My only wish is that the 951 should have gotten the 16v head and according lower-end components to compliment it. I think the 968 motor is a great one. Same size as the 2jz, but less cylinders lol. Just cool bragging rights, having a 2.5 liter or 3.0 liter 4 banger.

Come to think of it... A supra motor is a bragging right in its self. Just kinda sittin there in a garage. "Yup... That's my supra motor."

i had a 90 supra t w/ a 7mgte - those motors were "ok" and they were easily 600hp motors w/ bolt ons. I'm sure w/ a 2jz or 1jz some real power is quite easy. Ive seen several 2jz cars w/ over 1000hp and never removed the valve cover!!!! Rediculous.

I like the new projector lens' and grill.

If what I've been reading is correct, the engineering on the 2jz was outsourced a German firm. From a performance standpoint, it is the engine that I've always thought my 951 should have come with. But at the same time, I think that the sound of the big raucous 4 cylinder really defines the character of the 944. It's going to be some serious cognitive dissonance hearing a dohc I-6 purring under the hood.

People have swapped these into everything from BMWs to Mustangs. Someone had to do a 944 sooner or later.

Looks like he's making some progress.

Here is a 1JZ in an FD, one of my all time favorite cars.

I think a 2JZ in a 951 Would look much sexier than this\/

and here is some P-CAR ****'

I actually did some reading on that car a while back. They chose the newest 1jz because they wanted to replace the rotary with something similarly high revving. It's a very cool car in my opinion! I want to make an FD autocross / track car for my next project.

Holy sh*t, that orange cgt is insane. I came across a normal one out on a country road a year or two ago and we had some fun. In the flesh, they are absolutely insane. The look, the sound, they're like nothing else I've seen on the road. I think road and track did the comparison article between a gt3 cup car and a cgt. The results were pretty interesting.

Yah man, I was drooling when I was looking at that car, they do look unreal in person.
Here is the piece that Jay Leno Did on the C-GT http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/cars/C...GT_shell.shtml
You should read the article on the clutch, very nice. If I can afford to buy a super car the C-GT would be my car of choice. But Who needs a C-GT when you can build a 1200whp 951 for a fraction of the cost
