I think staying away from the valve covers would be a good idea though. If water gets down in those galleys it can crack the plugs later. I went through 3 sets of plugs cuz water got down there

I've used Clevites (granted i'm not at 400hp... YET!) with no problems. I've also known people to use them in 700hp applications. A coating could work well on them. I think its Power Enterprise that makes bearings that are supposed to have a "special" surface that reduces friction and wear. But...

Oh hells yeah it can!

Of course weight reduction is important. If you're moving up in the class system you will be up against lighter more powerful cars and you will get left behind. But yes, cooling... VERY IMPORTANT!!

Who won the MKIII dyno? Duane again?

Good thing we found out it IS a mistake on their behalf!

You know, i've pulled many motors out of many cars with a wide variety of ages amongst them with leaks. And with all the other leaks these engines have had, i've rarely seen the rear main actually be the source of the leak

Yes, insurance, but what if your driver revved it to 5500 and through the rod?

Yeah i will be putting in forged pistons w/ coating. Still haven't decided on what coating yet though. Should i still put in squirters for road racing?

So Aristos had mafs instead of map sensors? Glad i got map 2J, i'm so sick of mafs

Just completing a $250 side job. I think some of that will go to new moldings also!

Yeah i will be getting forged pistons (.030) and coating then skirts and I will be road racing. I am tight w/ a machine shop. They're going to do some other sponsor work, i can ask him about that. He was actually bringing up about knocking the little balls out of the crank to do cleaning and...

Cool, thanks. I dont have one, but i was just wondering

Thats good to know. I'll learn from everyone else's issues as i put my 2J together

So when i was looking at front clips i would see the Aristo 2JZ-GTTE (they probably inserted an extra T) listed at 280hp. So why is the same TT engine in the Aristo 280 when the Supra was 320? ECU programming? What was the difference?

I only have 1 broken mount. And i've know about it for 6 months

Yes, i think everyone should have an extinguisher. My electric fan wiring caught fire when i was drifting once. I popped my hood, ran out and patted it out with my hand. It wasn't a big fire, but it could have been had i not caught it in time

Well if Hotscennescy (whatever!) has 500+ w/o squirters i'll take that. So Cactus, you got a 500hp 2JZ Supra and live in Santa Rosa!? Where the hell are you? Unless its stealth as f$&k i've never seen such a thing. PM me your number, i'll give you mine and we'll have to hang out!

Yeah, about that. How can i add the oil squirters? They're not simple bolt on things are they? I thought they threaded into passages in the block and since this block doesn't have that, i thought it couldn't be done

Oh i have wholesale right here. Thats what i was wondering, if it was 51 w/ or w/o wholesale. I was just hoping that was w/o!
