Physicality speaking, it will fit with little to no body modifications. Mounts and the like will have to be relocated, but that's it. Your real problem is going to be electrical. The 2 computers do not natively talk to each other so you either have to figure out a way to force them to communicate or you need to pull all of the BMW out and replace it with 2JZ compatible parts.
No, it is a Toyota engine.
Supposedly, yes. The chief engineer was asked this very question multiple times, and the responses were the same. When the contract was settled and BMW provided their engine, Toyota took it apart and the first thing they did was began their reliability tests on it. Apparently they change a handful of parts and redesigned other components so that the engine could meet Toyota reliability standards. Also, when asked why the motor in the Supra produced less power than the Z4, the engineer responded in many ways to different people, one of which was reliability. Due to changing some parts, they had to lower the HP output for reliability reasons. I don’t think reliability will be too much of a concern. But it is a sports car and that means it’s not meant to put on the mileage that, say, a corolla is meant to put on The 2JZ isn’t a magical engine either. While the original Supra was reliable, it was definitely not trying to appeal to the “zero maintence go around the world” people that buy Corollas. People on the internet will over exaggerate everything, but the reality is, the supra will be just as, if not, more reliable as any sports car. There isn’t cause for concern. Toyota knows it rides on its reputation of reliability, and to believe that Toyota didn’t do anything to make the BMW motor more reliable is a bit moronic.
The easiest option is to pick an engine that is over built from the factory and has a good reputation as a strong engine when boosted with no modifications. 1. Ford YB Cosworth, Still breaking records and winning events nearly 25 years after its debut, the 2ltr Cosworth engine is highly tuneable. Potentially capable of 250bhp-per-litre with standard internals and standard size turbo, which is unheard of with other engines. 2. Nissan RB26 (Skyline), Like the Cosworth YB, this engine was designed for racing and therefore has many standard components capable of huge power levels. 1400bhp and 14,000rpm is said to be capable in fully tuned form. 3. Mitsubishi 4G63 (Evo), Generally regarded as the most tuneable four cylinder engine at the moment, the turbocharged Mitsubishi 4G63 engine is capable of incredible power levels and is the worldwide force behind countless supercar killing Evos. 4. Honda F20C (S2000), With well over 100bhp-per litre and an almost 9000 rpm rev limit as standard, the F20C engine is one of the best N/A engines you can buy. If you add forced induction the limits are almost endless. 5. VAG 1.8T (Various VW, Audi, Seat, Skoda) , Common to find, cheap to buy, and fantastic to tune, this engine is the mainstay of VW tuning for good reason. The unique five valve per cylinder setup gives great tuning potential and like most VAG products, it is very reliable. 6. Subaru EJ (Impreza), Powering eight second drag cars and Time Attack drag monsters, the 2ltr Subaru flat four can do it all. The unusual engine configuration gives the engine a superbly low centre of gravity too, perfect for track use. 7. BMW S54 (E46 M3), The 338bhp 3.2ltr straight six from the E46 BMW M3 is one of the best production naturally aspirated engines ever made. If you want to keep your tuning naturally aspirated, the S54 is where our money would go. 8. Mazda 13B (RX-7), With just 1308cc this engine is tiny, but in fully tuned form can produce around 1000bhp and a 10,000rpm+ rev limit. Temperamental maybe, but a unique tuning monster. 9. Toyota 2JZ (Supra), The engine that made 1000bhp on standard internals a reality, the 2JZ is a six cylinder heavyweight. Any engine that can power a road going Supra to over 240mph within one mile gets our vote. 10. GM LS Series, This big capacity V8 has 1500 bhp potential when forced induction is added, but this all alloy engine is also surprisingly light and is capable of revving to over 7000rpm reliably.
I probably wouldn’t. The MK4 Supra should’ve been the last one especially because of the influence BMW had working on this car with Toyota. When I hear BMW is working on a car, I usually get really excited hearing that a collab is happening between two automakers, kind of like a 13-year-old heard that BMW was working on the M1 with Lamborghini. In the future, I probably won’t be as excited. If you don’t know, BMW owns MINI and Rolls-Royce. If you sit in a BMW and know what they’re like, you’ll see many similarities between them and MINI & Rolls-Royce. Expect that from the new supra. A lot of the parts are recycled or repurposed from BMW. The buttons on the steering wheel are extremely similar to the ones on the f30 3 series, and it doesn’t really look like something Toyota would make. it has iDrive, a BMW Steptronic transmission lever, and the stereo buttons and climate control are most likely from BMW. The BMW-made engine doesn’t bother me as much as the whole interior reminding me of my fathers BMW. I still feel uncomfortable about a Japanese car not sounding Japanese, if that makes sense. And it’s things like this that kind of tell me that true, revolutionary Japanese engineering is dead. I don’t look at a Toyota or Honda and see the same magic that their 90s models had. They’ve been too Americanized. If you take a really good look at it, you can see a GT-86 just redesigned. People would probably go for a GT-86 instead. Considering the price tag of $ 50,000, I would most likely go for a MK4 Supra or even a 440i, or if I was really crazy I’d go an extra $16,000 for an M3 or do a 2JZ swap on the 2020 Supra. Otherwise, probably not for me. I’d hate to see this car suffer from poor sales, but at the same time, I don’t really want to see everyone driving it because that will really kill off the magic.
The 2019 Toyota Supra Toyota has a lot riding on this car. For this car to be even close to its MK4 predecessor it needs to be a really amazing car. After realizing this car will be based off of the new BMW Z4 and have a V6 instead of inline 6 is kinda a let down. I wanted it to be unique and have an engine being able to handle a load like the 2JZ-GTE in the MK4 supra. However, the engine may still be super modifiable. If they can make this car a true successor to the last gen supra then this car may be next big sports car. Anyway, I hope that answered your question. *,Photo courtesy of Bing
