I am running a 1991 toyota 2.5 liter DOHC 4 valve V6 to a Bus transaxle. Engine was rated at 150 hp stock but its putting down 203 rwhp now in my sand rail. Its putting 193 rwtq now as well. More power than it would ever need. It will pull a wheelie in the sand with sand paddles and it rips on the street .
mine has a supercharged thundercat 900cc triple 2stroke (250 hp)with a suzuki samurai 5 speed transmission , 4link to suzuki axle . in the middle of building a aluminum rock lizard type chassis to put all of the rail car stuff in with a small transfer case , 2 front axles cheap 4 wheel steering , 16 inch foa coil overs , i just got my BLACK MAMBA tires with logging type chains and bart racing rims
@@timshop2700 just seen your comment. What trans would you recommend for this 3.1? I met someone who did something similar to your rig but there bug was snappy.

Sand rails are so fun. I have a 81 Celica 22r in my rail and it's a blast

I had to comment to the dash of the truck. It’s lit up like the lighting section at Homedepot 😂 kool build 🤙
You got any pics on how you mounted motor to trans?
Where do you buy that frame kit???
What car does the transmission belong to? Thanks good videos!
The transmission is from a Subaru WRX
What you know abou this trasmision did you think it can hold an LS
What type of Toyota engine is it?
Legitness
nice little rail whats the square tube for in the back
Just a custom way to hold the engine on the front
1:06 i have the same sticker on my quad and i don't even live in Oregon 😂
First ride First break
How did you get past the o2 sensors?
You don't need o2 sensors to run an engine. It'll just run super rich
hell yea didnt realize you were from oregon! What part?
Salem!
Why does this look so slow? Is it tha trans?
The engine is not too powerful. Also, the transmission gear ratios are not close.
