Faruk Kugay<\/a> enjoys swapping Japanese motors into European vehicles at his company DevSpeed Motorsports<\/a>. At the Eneos’<\/a> SEMA 2022 booth he debuted a Porsche 911 GT3<\/a> with a turbocharged Subaru EJ25 flat-four. This year he brought a 1969 Jaguar E-Type 2+2 with a 2JZ-GTE inline-six. <\/p>\n

\"1969<\/a><\/p>\n

Under the classic long hood sits a turbocharged 3.0 L 2JZ-GTE inline-six capable of 750 hp. The motor uses CP 10:1 pistons, Carrillo rods, new USDM head, BorgWarner EFR 8474 turbocharger, and Vibrant intercooler. Everything is controlled by a Link G4 Fury ECU on a Wiring Specialties wiring harness. <\/p>\n

\"1969<\/a><\/p>\n

Faruk consulted with Charlie\u2019s Customs<\/a> in England about their 1JZ-powered Jaguar E-Type. They recommended using a BMW E36 M3 five-speed manual transmission and BMW E60 535i differential.<\/p>\n

\"1969<\/a><\/p>\n

The car rides on a custom front suspension with 2003 Corvette disc brakes. The rear suspension comes from a BMW E60 535i with 2010 BMW 535i disc brakes. Covering the brakes are a set of custom Rotiform STL wheels (17\u00d78.5, 17\u00d710) with Bridgestone Potenza RE-71 RS tires (225\/45, 255\/40). <\/p>\n

\"1969<\/a><\/p>\n

Custom fender flares were 3D designed and printed by Illumasthetic. Ken Heilmann at Vinny\u2019s Autobody<\/a> strengthened the flares with carbon fiber. Matt Thorsson and Jason Mohon competed the bodywork and Vinny Thorsson coated everything in blue paint.<\/p>\n

\"1969<\/a><\/p>\n

Faruk will no doubt drift this at some point. So the sparse interior features a set of Tillett seats with Schroth harnesses and surrounded by a custom roll cage. A digital screen displays engine information behind a OMP steering wheel. Below that is a OBP pedal box. <\/p>\n
