Which engine is in the trueno after the breakdown?

[Crovax]

Well it has been said several times already, most recently by Ivan but ah well... I bothered to check the DVDs.

Initial D 3rd Stage (the Movie) The scene where Takahashi Keisuke and Ryousuke are talking about Takumi going to Irohazaka to race Kyouichi:


Ryousuke: "Bla bla that I cant follow, but he saids he heard of a strange engine"
Keisuke: "Myou na ENJIN?"
Ryousuke: "Ima nakunateru kedo, mukashi GURUUPU A toukyuu TSUURINGU KAA REESU sakan datta. Oboete darou?"
Keisuke: "Masaka! GURUUPU A no ENJIN (engine) na no ka?"
Ryousuke: "Jitsuhaku, ma chigainai hazu da. GURUUPU A no AE101 [...] "


Translation:

Ryousuke: "Bla bla that I cant follow, but he saids he heard of a strange engine"
Keisuke: "An unusual engine?"
Ryousuke: "Now it is no longer there but, in the past the Group A class for touring car racing was popular. You remember, right?"
Keisuke: "No way! A group A engine?"
Ryousuke: "As a matter of fact, there is no mistaking it, it should be so. Group A's AE101 [...]"

Found it kinda hard to follow to the word after that, but it should be clear, he does mention TRD later on in that last sentence I cut off.


So yea, it IS that engine, since it also goes to 11,000 RPM etc. and they even mention it's been tuned down for treet-use (just like Iida's though I guess it was more for reliability, doubt he'd he'd wear down that uberengine too much on the streets )

(My Japanese sucks, so there might be some errors since I just tried to listen it out for lack of a transliteration by someone skilled, but ah well... the conclusion should be clear. )
