    head bolt torque on a 2j

    the torque is designed to bring the bolt to the elastic limit - basically you will only receive a specific amount of clamping force before the bolt starts to stretch. Toyotas engineers designed it so that the bolt does that at 25 ft/lbs +180 degrees.... How do you know that the torque is...

    New Idea for Fuel Lines

    That stainless steel filter is what I plan on using as well. Im still going to stick with the dual walboros for now though.

    New Idea for Fuel Lines

    well I plan on using two lines - not just one. Since the stocker line (singular) has been proven to support 500 hp then I dont see why two lines (plural) couldnt easily support an 800hp (peak) setup. I havent seen people getting a new fuel line for their 400 hp setup or even 500 hp setup. On a...

    Uh oh... trouble for the supra.....

    I think you were looking at the 2jzGTE not the 2jzge. Im talking about using the 2jzGE and going NAT with it. MUCH CHEAPER and its nearly identical to the GTE block. Look at my build thread and the links posted in the first post. Anything and everything you want to know about it is right there.

    joliroger - you are the man. Thats exactly what I was looking for. Based on what you said I will get a bigger return line. Thanks again.

    New Idea for Fuel Lines

    Well the pumps arent going to "fight" each other. Pressure is pressure. As long as the excess fuel is able to feed back into the tank it doesnt matter if I have 2 3 or 4 pumps. I have seen the other threads with other people's setups - not that they dont work or are ineffective but it isnt...

    New Idea for Fuel Lines

    I guess you are referring to the return line? So do you know of anybody running a stock return line with dual pumps?

    New Idea for Fuel Lines

    So hear me out on this one: Being that the stock lines have been proven to support 500 hp, I am planning on going with some slight modifications to the stock lines to run a dual-feed fuel rail on my NA-T 2jz. If one line can support 500+, then it only makes sense that 2 could support 1000...

    AEM EMS Question

    Maybe in some of the V8s and stuff the clearances are set bigger and the motor is built loose, but if you do it in this car you are asking for disaster. There isnt any reason to make larger clearances -

    Uh oh... trouble for the supra.....

    BHG FTL I would bet on a head gasket before a cracked head. You could spend a day or two on it and throw in a Cometic.... It will probably fix the problem. Its not like you can drive it now anyway.

    2jzgte pistons in 2jzge question

    make sure you mike them out first. Personally, I would have them statically balanced as a minimum before I put them in.

    Driveshaft play

    Sounds like its toast. Any other loose pieces? Perhaps you could fit a one-piece in there now. Steel? Any driveline shop should be able to do that for you. Carrier bearings are expensive.

    AEM EMS Question

    Not that it "will" eliminate it - I believe you can still use it if you want to. You can do just about anything with an AEM.

    exhaust cam upgrade only?

    I dont think this is true - people just talk about the exhaust cams because they have the gears in them to drive the CPS/Distributor. They are harder to find

    Is a 4" exhaust to big for my power goals?

    So to answer the original question, I dont think any exhaust is "too big" for your goals. You will see gains that diminish as you get larger and larger. It comes down to the factors you are willing to live with: 1. Cost of materials. 2. Proximity of exhaust system to ground. 3. Difficulty...

    Is a 4" exhaust to big for my power goals?

    The greater the pressure difference across the turbine, the more energy it produces.
