Yeah, I know. The Trust and Speedhunter GT86's have similar type of fender flares. Maybe wind tunnel tests have shown that the taper might be a downfall.

Damn, what is the HP/TQ of this mod engine on the 86? Just wondering what would be a good guess for 0-60 perfomance? look scary though

Agree with EVERYONE so far.... Sick knowing a 2jz swap is even possible... Obviously almost anything is possible with enough fabrication but still.. Where one goes many may follow and the slim chance this could be a future conversion kit gets me super sticky...

The flares on it are atrocious!!!!!

Edit: just zoomed in on engine bay... That has taken a lot of work to get that motor in there.. Looks like even the towers have been moved but im looking from iPhone so....

It's a repost, but in the proper section. Other poster dumped his into the main forum.

that's because the speedhunters gt86 uses a trust body kit.

stupid idea.............the strength of the FT86 is BALANCE....due to light weight.....dropping a HEAVY long engine in the front of the car will create far more problems than it will solve.....

The FT86 got it right by going simple, small and light......not the common tactic of bigger is better....4000+lb "sports cars" with 500+hp......

I saw this car testing, looks very impressive and Nomuken is extremely talented behind the wheel. Big change from a 4-door R34 to the 86 though.

yeah the stock frs does have its strength in balance but this thing will have strength in power. do you think this thing will be slower than a stock frs? if not, it is solving more problems than it created. and finally, its not going to be over 2 tons just because of the motor. while i wouldnt do this, i can appreciate the wanting to push boundries and find out what can and cant be done. if you dont like it, simply dont comment. no need to put down someones hard work
