TT?! I'll take that!

3.0L NA V6 250hp base engine -- What about the 3.3???

 

no idea... it seems to be the engines used for jdm v300. i don't think they will get the tt here.... maybe it's just hp boost?

 

I think they might... in one form or another.

I've read somewhere that the Supra is going to make a come back in U.S. (with the Z getting all the laurels now). When it will (probably 2005), it will have a 3.5L V6. I suppose turbo is going to be an option.

I doubt that it will be available on the Lexus, though (at least, the GS).

 

basically:

V6 replaces L6 (changing along with the Crown series in August)

it's a new V6. should be quiet and smogless yet sporty and powerful. it's a small engine so the car's weight balance would be great. smaller engine room means more interior space.

smaller engine will greatly help Aristo's handling. center of gravity would be low and to the center.

2 types of engine: 3.0 N/A, 3/0 turbo.

N/A is 3.0 V6 makin 250hp, turbo is sequential twin turbo. now that the supra is gone, this engine will be an Aristo-speciality. max power over 350hp. full of potential! :eek:

 

but is that for japan aristo right? i am pretty sure the v6 will make its way to GS and IS next year, but they probably won't bring in the tt v6 and stay with the 430 v8 here?

 

yah most likely they'll keep the 430 V8 for the US.

Toyota never learn.

 

so maybe they will just get the new v6 to US.... then it's funny when thy don't make it v6 3.3 as well just like the RX

 

I read about the new supra in some chinese and japanese Magazine(yes, i am asian) they said the supra is gonna be 400 horsepower and V8, according to the new smog test in Japan, lot of cars is gonna be supercharge. Skyline is an example they will put a V6 supercharge in it.
so the new generation of Janpanese sports car is more likely to be supercharge.
These are what i read, but they r pretty accurate.

 

if you wanted the new engine in a car couldn't you order it like that from japan? if your gonna buy a new lex and were into having it your way...thats possible right?

 

Good stuff, keep me updated.

 

I think u can order a fixed up engine from "JUN", cuz they fix up the engine and run in for u, and then ship it over
for more detail i think u can go to JUN's website

 

would you want to have the same V6 as the RX?
They mentioned that the 3.0 V6 will be a completely new unit. I think they made it completely new because they need to make it compatible with both N/A and Turbo forms. Don't think you can easily turbo the new 3.3 V6. They're probably designing the new 3.0 V6 with both N/A and turbo in mind (3.0 liter producing 250hp is very nice. It takes Honda 3.2 and Nissan 3.5 liter to produce that much ) (please don't include the torqueless F20C)

no.
if that's possible i wouldn't mind paying more then GS430's price for a V300's 2JZ-GTE unfortunately they don't do things like that. new engine means new emissions testing and crash testing and etc. etc. unless they included the engine choice in the lineup, you can't order a special engine


some companies make completely rebuilt engines, but those cost alot, and most people don't want to do engine swap. Or else alot of people would've done it already.

 

Hmmm, good point Globe. However, wuzzup with Hybrids. Toyota vowed ALL CARS will be hybrid by 2010.

 

well they got 7 more years to figure that out
