Topic: A 2.7L Badge? Help!

[BigMike]

Hey guys,

I have not gone to the wrecking yards yet, I know I will waste alot of time, so I'll do some research here first...

I already have some nice "EFI" badges to put on my side B-pillar on my 1st gen Truck, and now I am looking for a "2.7" badge.

So my question is: Does anyone know of some common wrecking yard car that has a either a big block 2.7l 4cyl engine or a small 2.7l 6 cylinder? Like did Ford ever make a 2.7l V6 engine? Or Dodge/Chevy/Geo/GM/Pontiac/BMW/Merc./Cad./Etc.....

If so then I will go check out a couple cars and then just order some new badges from a dealer and get some sweet 2.7L Badges on the side of my rig

Thanks, yup 4THEWKN (Dean) just told me about the Porsche 2.7 engine.

I think that Tiburon would have a nice badge, I am going to look into that one...

Here's a rather large pic of an Audio 2.7 Badge:

And here's another on Ebay (not sure how long this pic will work):

    2.7 Toyota
quattro X quattro

    

[BLACKDOG]

  nice

    2.7 Toyota
quattro X quattro

    

Mike, can you make some?  I've seen them made out of 1/8" -3/16" inch aluminum plate, cut out and polished

[blackdiamond]

now find the OYOTA and a X so it will do

 2.7 Toyota
quattro X quattro

 

I don't think he has 8 wheel drive?

How about:

2.7 Toyota
2Low Quattro

[Uncle Jesse]

thats awesome.  I think that would be the way to go.  I would suggest leaving the "L" off, and just running the 2.7 .

BTW, wouldn't quattro x quattro be 4x4?

An Audi quattro is four wheel drive, so quattro is 4x4.  A quad has 4 wheels, a quarter is 1/4 of a dollar, quattro is 4 in Spanish, etc...

His Yota is four wheel drive also, saying it like that is almost a sarcastic way of saying 4x4...like if you were to say, "is it a two times four or a four times four?"...Ya dig?
and since Quatro is spanish for 4, it works that way as well.

Bigmike-

I vote for the Audi 2.7T badge.  But keep the T and strap a turbo on that 3RZ!  Think of it...a 3RZ-GTE!  I think with about 8psi, your truck would SCREAM

Yeah if somebody could get me a killer deal on a TRD Supercharger, then boost would be in my future, but I dont think I would ever want to have a Turbo, especially in a truck.

I know your Supra's Turbo, but man, being able to feather the boost through a long sweeper feels so nice. I drove a Turbo Eclipse, and aside from the FWD being a POS, the boost is either on or off... It's like this, people used to ask me how much boost my MR2 had, and I would say: "How much throttle do you want me to use?"

[reklund5]

I know, I know.  I got you all revved up about a deal on a blower and it all fell to pieces.      I haven't forgot about you tho...when the deal comes along you'll be the first to know...   My contacts at TRD are on high alert, but that kit's been outta production for a while.  All they had lying around was some misc. brackets that you could fab in about 30 minutes anyway.  What about a modified Paxton unit?

On a related note...Dad just bought a slightly used '03 Tundra and had me put a blower on it.  What a sweet engine- that 4.7 just comes ALIVE with some forced induction.  It NEEDS a limited slip to keep from roasting a tire in the rear.  And all my old man does is cruise it back and forth to work.  He was suprised that it's faster than any of his Porsches 

When is the Mr.Too gonna hit the road again?

I could run an eaton blower or the Toyota SC14 unit, but I have to worry about Smog, and I dont have room to mount a blower as an accessory because my only available space will be used for on board air. So the only way would be the TRD intake-side-mounted blower, or fabricate an entire upper intake manifold, yeah right..

As for Mr.Two, I am thinking about selling everything I have for roughly $3k. I know I dont want to sell it, as it's my first car, but I know that once I finish college I can build another MR2 100000 times better, so I am kind'a torn.. The money sounds good to me, especially since I'm transfering to a University this fall, and I want to dump another $2k into my truck to finish it.....

    Hey Mike TRD nolonger offers a Supercharger for the 2.7  You have to buy it through Alpine.  They are the ones that made it for TRD in the first place.  I think its still about $3200.00

Yeah I know.... I'm actually trying to find a good used unit


I saw a PT cruiser and it had a 2.4L badge. Do they offer two different engines then?

There is no badge on the Tiburon. I've got the car.

Thanks mudmaster
