Sean - Thanks for the informative reply and the detailed information about your consistant high-hp stock-block 7M. Honestly, this is the first time I have heard of a STOCK 7M taking that much abuse for so long, and I have been researching upgrades for my car for about 8 years. I guess I missed...

I think that would be long enough LOL What did you do to your oil system? Just wondering because the TSRM spec for idle is ~5psi. Could you tell us some more about your setup? Sound like you have taken good care of it. How are you doing the fuel management?

Im pretty sure you can boost a stock block w/no drop in compression up to about 350 hp. I didnt really look at this but you could at www.clubna-t.com - a lot more guys do this stuff there.. Either way at 350 hp with a high CR you would have a very responsive powerful engine that is very fun to...

Those links for ebay that I posted earlier closed - the engine went for 1k dollars which, IMO, is too much money. You can find them much cheaper if you just look around. I found a Q45 TB at a junkyard away from the city for 45 bucks and it came with the TPS. You just have to LOOK.

2JZ-GE(T) FTW!

Thanks NickM - although we may have some political/world view differences we see eye to eye (or at least one eye to one eye) about this topic.:biglaugh:

Thanks Duane - It just seems like people take it personal when somebody suggests that a JZ series block may be a better decision. I think its because it seems really exotic and almost unnatural in a sense..... Yeah - I never said the 7M is crap - its actually a very capable motor; I killed my...

If you go back and read the post preceeding my statement, you will see why I called Figgie "gay". He was trying to worm out of a source he quoted to prove that RODS werent needed that was TOTALLY NOT WHAT HE SAID IT WAS. Go back and read it again. He has had a tendency to post some misinfo to...

So doward, this is what you said in this thread: And you said the EXACT OPPOSITE in the "quote from a machinist" thread.... So which one is it? Do you just change the laws of physics to make your 7M faster? I wish my ASE card could do that! Why dont you just accept the fact that the...

I have a super-old chiltons that is good. I purchased another chilton for a my pickup but I wasnt impressed because there werent as many illustrations. Its not that I need a picture for everything but sometimes terms are ambiguous. I like the haynes better than the chilton's, but sometimes it...

the intake camshaft

Ok man - good luck with your rebuild (no sarcasm)

If you are really hungry why pay $25 for a 6 ounce gourmet steak that wont fill you up when you can buy the spaghetti for $20 that will fill you up? The whole point is that for high HP levels the 2j is a better value than the 7M, and I hate to see somebody dump a bunch of money on something...

Well if you plan on staying under 500 HP I think you are right Dave. But, as most of us are, 500 peak hp isnt going to be enough:evil2: The high compression can be fixed with a 2.5 - 2mm head gasket and the hardware, if measured to be in spec, is completely re-usable. Depending on your...

Yes this really is the way to go.... Just use a NA harness from a lexus etc. I guess you could use a 7m harness if you already had an EMS...... I just prefer going with a newer harness because the 2j EMS is easier to come by AND my old 7M harness was brittle in places like the CPS etc and I...

Why dont you tell that to all of the 2jzgeT MKIVs and Lexus rides that will ANNHIALIATE your supposed 600hp 7m built with stock rods? LOL

Wow man - no need to call names.

So it was about $3200-3500 for the whole shabang?
