Great.

I've the SARD K26 kit. Most HP recorded stateside is 590RWHP on a 1.5JZ with the Blitz K26 kit (manifolds are different), and I believe that was OrinB. Someone who knows correct me if I'm wrong. I would say 600RWHP max. Maeso's video of a stock 1jz with the K26 kit run a 9.X...

Toyota did take a step back IMO just from the internals stand point. Take the IS300 for example, it has VVTi, it's still a 2JZ, WEAK internals. Take the SC300 which does not have VVTi, 2JZ, stock rods/pistons up to 700RWHP. I would take the SC300's 2JZ anyday of the week over the IS300...

My 800cc side feeds were like, $540 shipped from Japan..... They say SARD on the box, but yeah.... They use the stock clips. I think they are high imp, so plug and play with my EMS. They sell on Ebay, but you can get them cheaper if you visit their website. They sell under RHD JAPAN or...

It's just that I've spent a butt load thus far Matt, this better work, or it's going to suck so much............ If I don't run a 11 second quarter mile on my first pass, I'm going to set the car on fire.

Again, VVT-i is great mildly upgraded with just intake and exhaust.

www.edgeracing.com has good deals sometimes too. I would never buy from tirerack when you can find them cheaper.

I just bought two brand new Kumho MX 275/40/17's for $260 shipped off of Ebay. I also bought two 225/50/16 Toyo T1's from www.tiresavings.com for $39 a piece. That was a special that's over with though (ended two weeks ago IIRC).

a loose/leaky exhaust manifold can cause it to sound "ticky" too, especially while revving. If the tick just started, it wouldn't hurt you to look at that.

I used autozones when I first bought my Supra.... I hated the fade, the initial bite was okay, but it really became annoying. I'm still using some TRD HPZ pads in the fronts of mine, that I bought, I think six years ago? It was before I joined the Army. They really are TRD HPZ pads...

man, I wish I knew more. I have a soarer engine and cut harness. I'm going with a Stinger EMS, and that's what I'd recommend if I were you.

LOL It's happened to me while in the back of a tiburon. We raced another SLOW car, and the cop didn't even notice, it looked like we accellerated normally, lol.

2kV6, what is your job in the Air Force? I know someone there. You might know them too. Did you find out what you wanted to know about the 1JZ?

When you say high horsepower, elaborate. Under 400RWHP isn't "high" to me. And I'd love to see a 1JZ with VVTi make more than that, dont' get me wrong, I'm serious. I would think the VVT-i would be restrictive, as it is in the 2JZ with it. More information would be great to know.

We shall see what breaks first ;) Yeah, I get your humor! Severe edit on my part! I need to lighten up for real!

LOL ^^ After that post about the head's being different for cooling, I took some pictures of the headgaskets, and you can see where the coolant holes start/end, and what gasket has mission holes, larger ones, etc..... Oh yeah, 1JZ is underneath the 2JZ-GE gasket The 1JZ...

VVTi is good if the motor is stock with say, intake/exhaust. Use it with a turbo, and you'll start breaking shit. Weaker rods and even if you replaced them, the VVTi WILL hold you back if you go turbo/mid-high boost.

Nah, couldn't be as bad as mine. My carbon was growing towards the center of the piston, lol. cleans up nice though.

Yeah, the pic was before I changed the tensioners. Swapped them, now it's perfect. The cams arrived, and so did my buddy club wheels, but that's another thread. So this pretty much is it. We'll see how it runs. I need to install a radiator, probably one for some V8 with the inlet to...
