Toyota 86 With Supercharged 2JZ Burns Some Serious Rubber

Armstrong's bonkers creation started life as a 2014 Toyota 86 but he wanted to "do something different and out of the box." To give it some extra muscle, the lightweight 86's engine was swapped with Toyota's iconic 2JZ engine and a TBS 6-71 supercharger. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission.

"We cut the whole rear end out up to the original rear seats - which it still has - and replaced it with a shortened nine-inch diff and ladder bar," Armstrong explained. It also has a mechanical Enderle fuel system that runs on methanol but the front suspension and brakes are all standard.

As a result, this modified Toyota 86 produces 430 wheel horsepower on the dyno, which is a considerable upgrade over the standard car. What do you do with all that power? Burn some serious rubber, of course. As Armstrong demonstrates, this Toyota 86 can do some epic burnouts that engulf the track with copious amounts of tire smoke. Thanks to its 2JZ engine and supercharger blower, it also sounds incredible.

Armstrong will probably be pleased to know that a second-generation Toyota 86 is coming, which Toyota claims will beeven better than the Supra. Reports claim it will berebadged as the Toyota GR86and ride on Toyota's TNGA platform.
