Supras are great cars, they weigh a ton and their powerband isn't as awesome as it should be, but they're still awesome machines. Look at your avg 900hp supra and they don't run 9's....they run 10's with good slicks. People as advanced as Ryan Woon have about 1000hp and nitrous spooled turbos, tubbed out rears and slicks bigger than the a$$ end of my 240....

Take into account that there are motors manufactured that claim more Horsepower than an RB motor, and are legal in the US, So I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with speed or horsepower. And i'm pretty sure its California only where it's emissions aren't legal. I've never heard of motor being illegal to put in another car either.
Its all about emissions baby, welcome to Cali

2JZs cost a lot because they're one of the most over-engineered pieces of automotive block to hit production in mass numbers. You know something's up when Peter Blach dynos 958 AT THE WHEELS on stock internals and Mike Carlin does something close to 960 at the wheels with an automatic transmission, again, on stock internals. They're so overengineered, that for most applications, Supra engine builders usually keep stock pistons and swap out the rods.
They don't very rarely break and it's usually when you make some horrible mistake. Bang for buck, it's at least as good as the RB26 (some say it's better) but I think the line blurs since both engines seem to be close to their limits around 500-600hp.

Holy **** dude! That is sad that you can't break ten but why is that, does it have positive traction? I give you props for puttin in a supra engine in a 240. Good power for drifting though. How did it fit? Mad props!

The 2jz motor weighs a ton though...from what I've been told it weighs in the upper 500-700lb with the 6spd tranny and the twins. Though Hp and tq can make up for some of the difference...daily driving one with that kind of weight I couldnt imagine would be very practical. I couldnt google a weight and no one really seems to know the actual weight...but its not a 3300lb car because of the wing

I beleave that the 10 sec thing is all in the set up. I have seen personally in japan and in videos where supras have blasted the 9second mark and they dont have over 1100hp. i live in texas now and there was a guy named whasner and he had a supra running 8's and it was street legal and he had it dyno'd at 1298hp. If you all are saying that a upper 900hp supra can't break into the 9 you are wrong. whasner had some clips of him on the street and at texas national speed way, but he did clame that he went thruogh clutches and rear ends very often. if you have seen his clips then you can see his state inspection sticker clearly...

if you want a legal rb engine im pretty sure i read you could get one through motoRex and pay a TON to have it "legalized".

The-o-ret-ically, since imported skylines can be DOT approved and all that, it theoretically makes it possible to swap the engine in. Like wiring up an S14, I'm going to leave the details up to you to figure out.
Motorex legalizes entire cars. So does RB Motoring. They don't legalize the engines by themselves.

this is very true...... Motor swaps with the rb's are not legal, but some states such as texas don't do visual inspections, but you can get a car "The entire CAR" to pass,but not just the motors...
