a money pit is a 5,000 dollar boost to a motor engineered to be N/A.....engine swaps are done on the regular in honda, VW, and especially Toyota. 1500 for the supra motor.....it might take another 1000 or 2 to do the swap, much cheaper than boost....and the supra engine is already built to handle boost. And finally....it would be downright filthy

It’s only a 90° flip, but isn’t the Supra a straight 6? How will you stick a straight 6 sideways in there?

my girl has a MarkV gti and a good number in the vw forums swap out their turbo 4cyl for the vr6 six cylinder from the jettas. I don't have any personal experience with engine swaps, but apparently with a little metal fab. it's not too bad......but w/those pics, i do like the supra in and of itself. it'd be cool for someone to do a swap though.....i remember some company dropping a v8 Toyota Tundra engine in a second gen xB, so its def. feasible.

^biggest problem with all that is the fact that if a company does it they have the tools and experience to do it kinda like five axis tC 2 concept body kit (the red one) plus iv only done rust repair (metal patches) never done any other metal fab

That (VW engine) is a V6 and not much longer than an I4...but the Supra engine is an I6 and longer than a V8! I don't think that anybody builds a FWD car with the engine mounted longitudinally...they are all transversely mounted. My point was that the car will have to be twice as wide to fit that Supra engine in sideways. Now sticking a V6 sideways is not that big a problem…it’s just bulkier fore-aft and there is plenty of room in there for that extra bulk of a V6.
