    Need some opinions of my rod bearing.....

    Detonation could of cause that. Are those the top bearings on the rod or the bottom ones on the cap?

    time to build the 1j

    ACL makes a better bearing. They offer a Race bearing for 1jz/ and 2jz. That's all I use on all the Kaizen rebuilt JZ's and 7M's. Clevite would be my second choice if i needed to build it in a heart beat and ACL was on back order.

    Water pump housing

    NA back housing is different. The dealer has it, but its cheaper to buy the complete pump then to buy just the rear housing.

    Vi-PEC PNP for 2JZ

    Downloading right now! I will give you some feed back. Edit: Looks like the software is easy to use. I was looking at the IS300 base map and it lit up a light bulb in the back of my head! Im working on two IS300's right now. I may be in touch. I like that it has knock control, specially...

    cooling question

    I've tried all conbinations of electric fans/radiator combos. The mechanical fan works great with high heat. We went out drifting in Arizona and never had issues with water temp all day. The car had a mechanical fan and a stock radiator and shroud. all others with electric fans that day didn't...

    cooling question

    Get Rid of the electric fans also. Flexalite fans can't cool the 1jz. Get a mechanical fan and fan shrould or switch to a hydro fan.

    Eneos 0W50

    Well most of you know how I feel about numbers when it comes to oils. I have done many miles on Eneos (200K to be exact) and I have bearings that came out of that engine that says otherwise against what others think this oil. I had gone on longer oil change intervals with this oil (5000+ miles)...

    Vvti?

    I agree with you. I think in the FE engines Toyota did change those parts. In GTE's I dont think they would of done it. I have the pictures of the rods on my laptop, I will put them up tonite!

    Vvti?

    Dual VVTi has been around 2001 with the introduction of Dual Beams on the 3SGE. Where do you copy and paste your information from? VVTi GTE engines are just as capable to make the same power as non VVTi engines. IF you want to take advantage of VVTi you have to pay, but the results are...

    Vvti?

    I have two VVTi engines that came from 2000 and newer cars and they are both the same. Now I'm only talking about GTE engines not GE's. I'm Sure in the GE engines there is a difference, but the GTE's are the same. As far is JDM Vs. USDM... The J spec 2jz was underrated. I was at a dyno...

    Vvti?

    JDM 2jz's make about 340 RWHP and USDM 2jz's with same mods and same boost levels make about 300 RWHP. VVTi's make the same amount of HP as the JDM non VVTi engines But HP and torque is achieved at much lower RPM's. VVTi increased response and gas milage. All the internals, like rods and...
