Sorry but i am positive you are wrong! The GTE can deal with the extra compression due to the lower intake temps and intercooler. It is alike the JZ series engines, they have 8.5:1 compression.

Nope you were right the first time. GTE 8.5:1 GZE 8.0:1

I belive one of the difference's between the GTE and the GZE block are that the big ends on the rods are smaller. Not sure of anything else other than compression.

Don't know anything about cracking but exhaust wrap lends itself to trap moisture hence a higher chance of corrosion may occur.

I would want to be locating the outlet to the top and as IJ said you want it cold so it can condense as much of the oil as possible.

Sort of :). The guy I listed before is using prepared stock crank, stock rods with a set of custom pistons. He has done many modifications to the oiling system though, he said that was the week point. The dude is making over 500hp atw I believe. Here are a few runs of the car...

I have a 1ggte in my car and you guys got to get over the nostalgia. They are really a pain in the ass to upgrade, there arnt any support for them anywhere. Distributed, MAF? flappy one, only has enough support in stock form for about 250HP then its major upgrades. There are a few people here...

Chris you make me look bad! What work do you need to do to fit them?

I don't think there is 130mm difference in engine position to the bumper, i think the front of the car is very similar. I would say from what i have seen is that the difference is due to the trunk not being a hatch.

It is practically the same chassis except for the few extra inchs in length. All the suspension components are identical.

They didnt even sell them here we are just lucky that Aussies drive on the same side of the road as the japs, oh and what used to be a very nice trade agreement.

Holy shit! This is why you need to place the valves on your airlines as close as possible to the bags! Looks defiantly like ductile failure, you sure the tail shaft was made to cope with the power you were putting through it? Did it ever feel like there was vibrations/unbalanced. Its failed...

i feel like i have read this before!

2nd!

Yes leave the paint alone. If anything do something clear coat it or someshit so it doesnt change.

What are the wheels?

Thankyou suprra girl. I hope we are right about the mounts, alot of people have doubts as it is a 1ggte cross member. I guess if in the end it wont fit i'll just make some engine brackets that will.

cool, well they look round to me!

Yeah I really need to change the title to guess the crossmember, I just thought the engine mounts would be the give away. Thanks guys, Rob

This is exactly what I want to hear. Is there any definate way to find out if the crossmember would fit a JZ engine on stock mounts without actually fitting it? ROb
