Stinger. Which is what i had. Absolutely hated it. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Yea when I first heard about all the add ons and sensors and then the price my heart skipped a beat or 2. But comparing it to an aem v2 or even the v3 I heard its worlds ahead. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

looks like I'll be having a little garage sale lol. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Yea I agree. I called these guys in nj and he said he could supply a 2j that's handpicked for around 2500. I plan on using the pt6262 that i have... and go with pro efi. I'm guessing that 1j and 2j fuel rails are not swappable. So most likely looking at roughly 6 gs for parts. Maybe a...

I agree. So I called undercover tuning in NJ and talked to someone very helpful. Im most likely going to go with the whole 2j motor. Big single with pro efi. I'll keep you guys posted Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

Does anyone know of a reliable source for 2j bottom ends? I might be inclined to go with the less expensive option. I might just invest money into building a solid head and just go stock 2j bottom end. And earlier I said transfer case when I meant bellhousing...I must have been high lol...

I've seen just pistons go for about a grand...I don't see how a whole build could be anywhere close to a grand even if did the work.... which isn't going to happen. I'm not that handy lol. I feel if i built the 2j in the same manner id stroke the 1j id be spending similar cash. I might see...

I am definitely going to take that into consideration. But I'm not sure id really be saving that much money building the 2j vs stroking the 1j. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I understand that the manifold bolts to the head, hence the reason I said I'd rather not have a 1j head with a 2j bottom end. And I'm not trying to get approval, I'm just trying to get some feedback from people who might have experience with a project similar to this. I don't think I've seen a...

I'm not sure but if I wanted to go 2j instead the mani for my 1j will not bolt up. And does the r154 bolt right up to the 2j? I was under the impression id need to get a different transfer case. I really don't want to get a 2j block and mount it to the 1j head. I would rather keep it a 2j...

I still have to do some research. But ill definitely keep you guys posted Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

I said unique not famous. And I don't think it would be a waste of time. With a 2.8 I would still have relatively short rod lengths and a 9500+ rev limit with a well built head. I wouldn't need new fueling or manifold or transfer case for the tranny. I could literally keep the same set up...

I don't really intend on strictly using it for the track, I in time want to make it a nice street/track car. And I love the 1j, and the way it sounds with my manifold was just pure sex. I couldn't get enough of it. Yea they definitely have good products, but I read some things about how they...

I should but I like having unique set ups and I really don't want to get a new motor unless I have to. For some reason Ive become attached to the 1j...I want to see what kind of a beast it can really be. I don't really mind that it might not be as good as a 1.5j but it most certainly would be...

So a while ago I opened up on my car up to around 7500 rpm and saw a nice trail of smoke behind me when I came to a stop, and the car went under hydro lock a while before and ever since makes a nice slapping sound from the block when cold. I'm under the impression that a piston ring is fried or...
