while it's a neat little novelty to have a V12 Supra, I really dont think it's worth the effort IMO

This is top secret... The same people who built RB26 and 3SGTE powered Supras and other odd swaps in cars. They've never been about "what's worth the effort." It's not their thing to walk the path others do.

i'm just Surprised it Fits. Go Figure how they got Turbos int here as well LOL

that might be the reason for the small turbos. Not enough Space.

This is also a Sign. Top Secret Always tries to anticipate The Next move the manifacturer is going to make and start woking on the engine or a similar one that they belive we be produced soon for another car.

Not to say it's going to be in a Supra but maybe they have the inside track on another car coming that they want to prep for????????

Someone on Supraforums is doing this exact swap into his MKIV. It's incredibly hard getting these engines because toyota doesn't make any extra's, and very few Centuries are sold. It's also known that Toyota buys back wrecked centuries for the parts, and they don't make it to the public very often.

Top secret also put an NA VG35 into a R34 GT-R last year and converted to RWD. Definetly one of those "We can put anything, into anything" companies.

i wonder if the first Toyota F1 Engine was based off of the same Engine

http://www.toyota-f1.com/public/en/technologies/3_engine.html

I doubt it, since Toyota has never ran a V12 in F1, but you never know.

They're 81.0mm in the 1GZ, that's only 2.0mm smaller than the 7M and 5.0mm smaller than the 1JZ and 2JZ.

A 5.0L V12 makes as much sense as a 2.5L inline 6.

Not quite, different bore, stroke, head setup, and so on.

Unlike the 3S, 2JZ, and 1UZ which are all 86.0mm bore and 86.0mm stroke.

Toyota Never Ran a V12 it was a V10 and now its a V8 Due to Regulations

The V10 Was 3L and Was Smaller and Shorter the our I6 &m 1J or 2J Much Shorter

The V8 is a 2.4L 740BHP NA

Ninja Edit

I was only thinking that the Original V10 might have been designed or derived in part for this V12
