Toyota motor? i dont get it.

 

supra motor?

 

Looks like the 2.8 V6 to me

 

He has an 80's model Supra guys. I'm assuming this is a pic of the engine.

 

'The 5MGE 2800cc DOHC (dual overhead cam) was introduced in the U.S. Supra in 1982. This Twin Cam was also used on the U.S. Cressida in 1983. This engine was the first production 6 cylinder Toyota Twin Cam- since the 3M Toyota 2000GT (a limited production model). This power plant was one of the main reasons the Supra became very popular, and a Toyota milestone model. In 1984 the EFI (electronic fuel injection) was updated to a digital system and the compression raised, this brought the horsepower up from 145 to 160. In Japan, a 6MGE 3000cc model was introduced in 1986 that was rated at 200 HP. The engine was identical to the 5MG in design, but related parts to the pistons and crankshaft were different. It is interesting to note that the 6MG was rated by Toyota with the same horsepower as the successor 7MGE 3000cc (a 24 valve model) but with a better torque band! In fact it used a 7MG crankshaft before the 7MG was introduced. The Twin Cam head is a G type- meaning Sports Type. Also a first for Toyota- the head featured hydraulic valve adjustment, eliminating the shims (which most mechanics feared). This engine allowed Toyota to position the Supra above all the other Japanese models and on par with the leading European manufacturers.' (http://www.toysport.com/Technical%20...tech_notes.htm)

as you see there is a good amount of difference in hp between the usdm engine and the jdm engine...ive got a rare engine (at least in the US) thanks for letting me school you guys...im a car fanatic, so no, im not trying to hate on Hondas..i love Hondas just as much

 

I used to love them equally. Then our yota crapped out after 60k miles, requiring a full engine rebuild. Sludge buildup from the closer tolerances yotas have and my moms crappy maintenence habits. A deadly combination. Hondas can take a little more abuse than yotas.
