Description

The old Toyota 7MGTE is gone and the BMW N54 turbo six is in the hole! It may be a bit controversial but theres no turning back now! We did need to modify the engine crossmember a little bit and take a sledgehammer to the gearbox tunnel to fit the Getrag GS6-53BZ 6 Speed Manual but surprisingly the N54 fits quite well in the MA70! I know it's not everyone’s cup of tea,I get it, but it’s a 3L Turbo straight six that makes solid power and doesn’t cost JZ money. This build’s all about trying something different, learning a few new tricks, and building a Supra that’s a bit left of centre. Stick around for plenty more fabrication, wiring, turbo placement, and other bad ideas as we turn this BMW-powered Supra into something worthy of the track! Shoutouts to the legends helping make this build happen: Plazmaman – Because a stock manifold is just sad. https://www.plazmaman.com Fenix Cooling – Keeping things chill since 2004! http://www.fenixradiators.com.au/ Tuff Mounts – Engine mounts for just about anything https://www.tuffmounts.com.au Thank you to the awesome companies that support TSF!
