Yes. In a Nissan 240SX shell. I'm still a little lost as to why guys swap motors from other makes (other than the reason that it's fast). An SR20 wouldn't be a bad move for that car. It's lighter and you can place it further toward the center. Not that you're going to crank out the power that a 2G Supra motor will potentially churn up...

One of my father's mechanics has a Toyota Cressida with a single turbo supra motor. It is insane. Its funny, beause the thing was blowing the doors off everything we encountered that day.

another member of this board has been looking into this swap for his 240. A RB swap would be ideal, but is way too much. The 2JZ swap is actually pretty common for the nissan crew to do.
