Default D1 Toyota Soarer in latest Turbo Magazine

Have you guys seen the new Turbo Magazine? There is a BN Sports kitted Soarer in there that runs in D1GP pushing 600hp. Very mean Soarer for sure!

However, the article mentions that the car is rocking a 2JZ-GTE but the pictures show the 1JZ in all its glory!

Car is still bananas though! I'd love to see it beat the streets or the track.

Don't look like a 2JZGTE to me!

Could be 1.5JZ I guess. It would have been nice for them to mention it though.

From what i heard the head only flows better around low rpm's or something of that sort. But its better to stick with a 2j head . The owner a a shop with a 7 sec supra told me this.
