Than you might want to read the whole thread (post #7). Could I have made it any damn clearer?

THE GOOD NEWS: It can be fixed by adding aluminum to the broken area with a high amp (350 or better) tig welder. You then file the welded material into the correct shape, followed by drilling and tapping threads into it. THE BAD NEWS: You have to remove the head to do this repair properly.

Here's a little video I ran across, I'm sure not everyone has seen it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnlUAJ15tcU

It said you can use it on an ipod wi-fi, but can you use a 3rd gen ipod. It has a touch screen and a hard-drive, so I'm thinking maybe. Anyone?

Hey Grim: What pattern are you doing on your headrests?

What no "Buy It Now" price???

I bet ya he's going lean at higher boost levels...dangerous.

I don't think postulating about this subject on a car forum will result in any arrests.

Is there any real debate about (at least from a technical point of view) which motor is better? But to say that a 7m if "F'n sh*t", is just trolling for a fight as well as ignorant, and certain to upset a lot of loyal 7m owners. I don't think the 2jz vs 7mgte is unworthy of a debate, as...

He also mentioned something about an LSX...

+1 Champion Toyota FTW!

I'd imagine an egr (or what appears to be an egr) could be added to the 1jz...just thinking out loud.

I think your right, since I've mentioned it before and it got awfully quiet. I just thought someone might have a guess on how this could theoretically be done. :icon_razz

Can a 1jz be legally registered/smogged in California? My understanding is (and I talked to the guys at the BAR inspection station) that it cannot legally smogged or/and registered in Ca because the 1jz was never available in the US market. That being said, I know a lot of people out...

If you've got a lot of parts for the 2j, than it's a no-brainer. The 2jz is certainly a more complicated swap, but it's a newer more modern, more durable design. Nothing wrong with the 7m, but let's face it, given the choice I think most people would opt for the 2jz. If you're not a skilled...

Before starting it, drain out a quart of oil, remove valve covers, pour in a quart of oil over cams (using a little heavier oil than you normally run), replace valve covers (quick as you can), fill oil filter...start. Done.

Looks incredible! I know this is asking alot but... I would love to see a short video clip of the lights..applying brake lights...turns, etc. It would really give everyone a better look at them in action. Just a thought.

+1 There is no way short of catastrophic mechanical failure that it could even make contact with a valve (non interference), much less a spark plug. You must have dropped the plug or bumped it or something.

In a word, no. To do it without going ka-boom...in addition to what you've got, your going to need (at least): -bigger fuel feed lines -another feed to the fuel rail (not absolutely necessary, but advisable) -AFPR -550 injectors -MAFTPro w/TunerProRT program -upgraded IC...

Do you mean the $150 to $200 per shock to revalve? It's ugly alright... I have never understood why so much. It's as much as the puchase price!
