blogentry-133713-0-70069200-1508037208_thumb.jpgAfter this Japanese owner's Phantom engine broke down, he decided to replace it with a much stronger engine - A Toyota 2JZ power unit.

 

Owned by Yajima-san, he also has a few other yummy cars like a R35 GT-R and a Volkwagen Passat R36. He admits that he is addicted to powerful cars and the engine in the Phantom now is pushing around 700bhp, up from the original engine's 453bhp 6.75-litre V12.

 

No figures on how fast the car is now but you can hear the videographer's exclamation when Yajima-san gives it the gas. Meanwhile, we aren't sure hearing all the turbo spooling and exhaust noise is cool or uncool in a Rolls-Royce.

 

Watch the video and let us know how you feel about the engine transplant.

Now more than 30 years old, it remains the sole mall in the Bishan East area. Driving there? Here’s our quick review of the carpark.  Manoeuvrability: T
