For sure, my bad, I should read slower, lol. I'm pretty comfortable at the noob step, so I'm starting to add some power now, but nothing big yet. -AM3

Those two phrases I bolded have no business being in the same post. Aim for a reliable stock power level. When you feel confident that you understand how the motor works and you can keep it running reliably, go up to 400-500WHP. Once you feel confident with that "perfrormance stuff" then you can...

Does he still think that he has a 1JZ? -AM3

Welcome. In regards to your car: :ttiwwp: -AM3

Unfortunately, it looks like I'm not able to make it. They are taking overtime hours away at work, so I'm going to be working every weekend I can while I can still get OT pay. maybe next year. -AM3

http://www.1jz.com/images/1jzlogo.jpg Just point out that his "1JZ" has a 7M intake manifold, is missing a turbo, has different valve covers, a coil pack on top, and extra accessory belts... -AM3

Given how unfamiliar he is with the car, I would guess it hasn't been taken care of as it should. I could be wrong, but that's my first impression. Given that, I'm going to say that 3K is probably too much. I personally probably wouldn't pay more than 2K, depending on the body and interior. If...

This stroker kit bumps the stroke from 91 to 97.5, giving you an extra 200 cc's. While that's not a bad increase, reliability is what becomes the issue. Having a longer stroke now means the piston is traveling 6.5 mm farther every revolution. This seemingly small increase is enough to put the...

Watch a thousand wasps come out, lol. -AM3

Not to mention aftermarket support for the LS motors is huge. -AM3

700 if lucky? With enough budget and patience there are 7M's out there pushing more than that. I see more 700 HP 7M's than 700 HP JZ's on this list. Granted there are a lot more 7M's than JZ's on this forum, but the point I really want to make is that the 7M is a much more capable engine than...

I would love to get one, but they are reducing opportunities for overtime at work, so I might not have the disposable income I was expecting after I get my student loans paid off. I'll have to see how it plays out. -AM3

I suppose if you told us your goals we could give suggestions. But it seems like you have done only some research, and aren't too sure about what exactly you want. Things like "Lightweight Crank (if there is one out there)" and "The Best FFIM out there with 90mm Throttle body" show you know of...

Installed my SAFC II. Pics later. -AM3

I will agree that that weight reduction has its advantages, but it also has its place. Stripping the interior on a car used almost entirely on the street is rice as all hell. At the same time, doing nothing more than gutting your interior for a track car is a half assed effort that will save you...

Well, I will say this is pretty thorough and impressive. My only concern now is the one thing we can't simulate, which is time. Whether it will it deliver the same results after being used for a year or two after being put through a couple hundred heat cycles, is anyones guess. But these tests...

Link to a sticky thread in the turbocharger section. For the record, this seems like a bad idea. I don't know much about rebuilding turbos, but I have a feeling using used parts from two turbos to make one good one, and then spinning it at 100,000 RPM leaves a lot of possibility for failure. Why...

I'm confused, didn't you just sell a shadow gray interior because you needed money, but now you're buying parts? -AM3

Had me scared for a moment, lol. Good call. -AM3

Who makes the kit? Please tell me you didn't use the headgasket from it. -AM3
