Lightbulb Supra twins in FD

Can i put Supra twins in my FD...? R they bigger and better...? And how hard is it to install...?

This idea comes along my mind since i can buy those twins very cheap (used).

Thank's in advance.

Everything is possible with enough money. I know that the bolt pattern on the manifold is completely different, and that the turbo plumbing won't work either. I would imagine that you could make it work, but it would be a custom install to the extreme. I would just spend a bit more and convert to a single.

dude..im guessing trying to fit supra twins on an FD will take in eccess of about $4000, including turbos and customizing.

you could run a nice single with that much money with much less cutomizing and more money in your pocket.

Perhaps he is suffering under the delusion that the Supra's high power output is mostly attributed to its turbos.. and that they would do the same for the 7 if installed, which is partly true. However they are two very different engines.. and just because the Supra makes good power with their twins does not mean they will make the same HP in the 7...
If you want big power.. just go single =) If you do though you will not see that power appear until around 4k rpm.

horrifying thought: Trying to figure out how to mate the Supra's sequential system with an FD's. *shudder*
