carina

Found this Carina with a 1JZ-GTE engine (JDM Supra MkIII/Soarer MkII) in it:

From what I can see on the grille this is a ST model, so it either featured a 1S or 3A originally.

Too bad there is not more footage of this engine swap. Would have been very interesting in what they actually had to change for this!

At first I thought "oh another engine swap" on a Carina coupe, but that was untill I saw the black cloud of smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe! WTF!?!

1982 Toyota carina

I can understand a lot of engine swaps and I can understand it if you want a powerful modern diesel engine, but why this archaric 2L engine??

The owner says that he wants to drift with it. Ofcourse diesels have a great torqueband and it is twin charged, but still... Revving takes forever and the redline at 4500 rpm?! Power output can't possibly be exceeding 120hp and it is smoking like a steamtrain.

One nice thing about it is that it clearly can make nice smoke-rings. Maybe it can even write your name in smoke while drifting. ;)
