Update on "The sleeper"

[CAMAROBOY69]

I agree this is an awesome project!! Dare to be different is an understatement. Thats just plain bad ass!

I had a 62 nova(well still have it but it isn't running) pale white, rallys 15x4 and 15x8, stock interior.....355 SBC roller motor on the spray that I drove to high school it was kinda a sleeper til I started messing with it! did end up going 12.30's(motor) on a 235 radial...not bad

Very cool car you are building I respect you for resisting the urge for polished this and chrome that etc etc....can't wait to see some more progress!

I saw a Nova wagon don't know the year, that is running in the Hot Rod Drag week. He is running the newer I-6 that they put in the Envoy / Trailblazers I believe. Built motor and a GT47-80mm Garrett. He is running high 8's - low 9's!!!

Check this guy out for parts and knowledge about the 2JZ www.inductionmotorsports.com His name is Jeff Bromberger. Definitely know's his stuff.

I've seen that Wagon and it is sweet but I plan on giving him a run for his money with a STOCK longblock.

A built 2JZ is a blast in a 3700lb MkIV Supra-- it should be REALLY entertaining in a Nova that will probably be >1000lbs lighter.

What are the plans for the engine... totally stock longblock, or maybe some headwork and cams (i.e. HKS 272's)? What size hairdryer?

One thing for sure, it'll run great and sound WICKED when on boost.

I would like to get into the 8's on a stock longblock. Long story but a ongoing thing with some local Cobra guys.

If anything I may go to 272's and leave the rest because the JDM cams are more mild than the USDM.

76mm is what I am shooting for but nothing smaller than 72.

Jason, give me a call, I can help you out with your motor specs. There is a Company called Boost Logic that leases a building from me that manufacters/designs and carries all turbo systems for Supras ect. Next door to them is Performance Motorsports, he builds the cars. Chris builds custom intake manifolds.These guys know everything there is to know about the Supra motor. They also have the #1 AEM tuner that works with them in house. They have built all my Supras and my Lexus and they are starting on the twin-turbo project on my Viper next week.. 512-452-9068.

Here are some of the cars they have built for me..

My Lexus,


My '95 Supra, ran 9.81@153 on a stock motor


My '97 Supra


My '95 Supra Hardtop, 1 of 18 built
