I think this car has too much torque to officially be Jay blue :biglaugh: Jay's does now too with the 2j bottom end... Nice find, looks like a super clean car!

Good luck with the repair, I'm in the middle of a HG replacement on mine. And if that's your GF in your avatar I think I'd forgive her for the BHG ;)

2nd the green one, Dan Mac's is one of my favorite's as well. The Escort on pg6 is FTW as well (old habits die hard)... Mine will never be dope status because I'm a function over form guy, plus I'm too lazy to make it all shiny :biglaugh:

Been waiting for this :) Now I have a deadline to get my Supra going (again). Damn BHG, thought the 2j swap would prevent that... Here's to driving a Supra for the Supra cruise this year:gaybar:

If not someone will be getting a good deal on a project car :biglaugh: How's your junk running lately?

Jon came over and gave me a hand today, got the head and block cleaned up and dropped the head with new HG on. Torquing the head bolts is a bitch, my back was killing me :biglaugh: Good thing Jon was here to do the final torque because I'm a big pussy :) There was some corrosion on the head...

Got the head pulled today, motor looks good (can still see the crosshatch) and the head does as well. HG didn't look bad, but it looked like the seal was breached between #2 and #3 Gonna get the head back on and then figure out where to mount my surge tank/external pump and...

Subscribed :) Looks like your setup will be alot like mine, MPT70 etc., you'll love it! I'm putting a TT HG on mine this weekend and putting together my fuel system, can't wait for more boost... Good luck with the swap and let me know if you have any questions!! BTW-is that Ken's...

Haha, I thought it was bad when we pulled our engine 1mo before the challenge, you guys have some guts :) Lookin good!

2jzge+T, but I'm a little biased :) My decision was $250 short block that is 700hp capable vs. $2k+ motor build that could blow up on first start due to a stupid mistake I would inevitably make :biglaugh:

Just caught up on the thread, nice work! I'm at the same impasse with my 2jzge-T swap, HG is gone between #s 2&3 so it's time to fix some swap details and upgrade. Good luck with the HG fix.

I will not be deterred, waited 3 yrs to drive this sucker so what's a few more weeks :) Plus I'm single again so I've got the time and money :biglaugh: Ordered up an OEM TT HG from Driftmotion and the rest of what I need from Toyota. I'm looking at this as an opportunity to make things better...

Yea, that's what I was thinking. At 1.3mm it will give me about 9.2:1 C/R which will still be decent off boost but gives me more room for power.

Definitely the HG, pulled the #2 plug and the tip was red. Must be pretty bad, the rad is empty too, probably lucky I didn't overheat on the way home last night. JIS Engine in Arlington has a HG set for $88, might give it a try, I've heard really good things about them. Either that or I'll...

I know about the mileage, I got 14mpg in the city in my turboed Escort on E85 :biglaugh: So unfortunately I think I found the source of my miss. I say unfortunately because it looks like the HG is a goner :( Had a few puffs of white smoke on the way home from work after idling at stoplights...

Car is running pretty good again, put new plugs and wires in last night. Hitting fuel cut at ~8psi, need to hurry up and get it smogged so I can start the fuel upgrades :) Still trying to track down an intermittent miss/breakup, I think Jon and I isolated it to cyl 2 or 3 last night...

You can run the 2jzge off the 7mge harness and ECU, a guy on here (think his SN is GeneWindstar) did it a while back.

Starting to realize how much of a PITA polished stuff is...

Friend hooked me up with some VT Nebraska tickets so I sold mine on ebay and blew the money on fuel parts :) Bosch 044, surge tank, and about $200 in -6 line/fittings on the way...

Fixed the coolant hose but it must have sprayed a shit ton of coolant down in the plug galley, #3 and #4 ain't firin at all. Off comes the IM AGAIN. Should have just put a damn FFIM on it lol. Trying to decide what to do fuel wise so I can run more boost. I have a Walbro, Lex AFM, SAFC...
