quick question and though
i was just thinking about the JGTC supras and just remembered they run with the 3sgte motor.
would this be possible in our SC's? or even worth the money? as far as i know some parts would be cheaper and it can save the car a good amount of weight (though i dont know how much exactly)
i understand the usdm stock mr2 motor doesnt make as much power than a stock 2jzge but it would weigh less, allready turbocharged, and can be made to make a great deal of power with some work.
anyway, just wanted some thoughts on this. oh, and if something like this has been posted sorry, searched and didnt find much of anything.

I have thought about a 3sgte for some time now, weight being a fairly big factor(SC's are fat pigs
) and the power that the 3sgte puts down on the dyno is around 155-165 which is just a little less than the 2jzge . better weight balance (potently handle better) and with the loss in weight and power I would think the car would stay around the same speed and
I think its a good idea who knows I may try it
