Thanks for the nice comments yes it is the same engine out of a supra twin turbo.
and the discs and calipers are from a range rover sport and they only just squeezed on inside a 19 inch wheel 

With that size wheel, what's the ride like? Have you lowered it at all?

Looking good!

I have questions! ha ha!

What box and LSD you running? Did you do the whole conversion on your own? Was it expensive to do?

I bet that gets hot under the bonnet 
What have you done to keep the temperature down ?

Hi there sorry for the late reply ive been moving house lol
its been lowered around 40mm but is a mv6 so i think it sits abit lower from standard it has lost abit of ride comfort but i hardly notice it because it is a very comfortable car and it did originally have the mv6 17inch wheels so the ride comfort hasn't changed that much.

IM running a manual box w58 from the mk4 supra and a lsd from a ex police car
 v6 so it should be fun to drive 

i reckon the engine conversion has cost me around 3.600 with all of the converted parts
i fitted it myself with help with wiring from my old man its been a long slow process  with work and kids but hopefully be worth the wait lol

its running with a twin core radiator and a viscous fan so there's no heat issues it runs as sweet as a nut lol

Nice project mate I'm sure that would be pretty fast, I have an rb25 omega myself. How did you get the speedo working?

Hi there im not sure what car it was exactly the lad just said it was a v6 omega facelift he crashed it into a field and wrote it off it only had about 60.000 on the clock if i remember him saying to me wounder really that's what happens

i havnt actually road tested it yet in still finishing a few wires off its kind of trial as you go ive only moved around the yard so not 100 percent ive got speedo readings at the moment i was asuming the speedo ran off the abs system and wasn't affected by the transplant but i may be wrong i will find out in a couple of months when i finally get to road test her

[Shane-C]

P6UL K yeah it's a white saloon mate

Chuftsmv6 no problem was just wondering as mine doesn't work lol serious project

[chuftsmv6]

you said you have a rb25 omega i bet that's fun
