Gets shop recognition (published in two mag's)
To show it "can" be done (proves custom work)
Show car for events (gives shop "wow" factor)
Dyno chart shows over 860hp (I beleive), more than the their Skyline GTR.
...but as we know with the Supra, how much HP (power to wieght ratio)is lost with the added weight?

It all come sdown to sales guys. They get recognition so that the next joe would get his work on so and so car at their shop instead of someone else, because they can show they are tough enough, strong enough, and by-golly man enough to put a supra engine into an fd 
. Must mean they can do everything, right?

The Ricer Eliminator
I don't agree with what they did, but the ******'s fast though. It's a drag monster. You should see the hood for the thing. It's got a 4 inch cowl that looks like it came off an 88 IROC. Not that that matter's, as a lot of us would only be seeing it's *** end anyway.

Is it just me, or do those fenders suck?
They look like an airplane thing.. totally cuts the line of the car. And the wheels.. bad color.. But yeah, they had something to prove, and they chose this method to show their manhood.
It's probably just me...

Lots of big Japanese tuners do engine swaps for the heck of it. Top Secret has swapped a RB26DETT Skyline motor into a Supra. Top Fuel converted a Del Sol into a rear wheel drive mid engine. Then there are the dozens of conversions of Skyline engines into Silvias. It's called creativity and curiousity. Hell, isn't someone in the forum shoehorning a V-8 into an FD? If they have the cash and the know how, why not? It's their car anyways, not yours.

supra power in a lightweight FD just makes awesome numbers at the drag strip.
A popular motor choice for the GT series in japan is the 3sgte (mr2 turbo) motor into the supra. The motor is lightweight and can then be pushed far back into an almost mid-enigine position (ala fd). And it can still make 500-650rwhp easy.
