I ran their gaskets and seals in my rebuild. No thanks. Leaks from every gasket, even with FIPG on both sides of each gasket.

Going to studs. Also plan on running a pair of GT28RS "disco potato" turbos on it, and seeing what kind of power they'll give me. Just want to be sure my bottom end can handle it.

How much power can a stock 1jz bottom end hold with upgraded MHG and head studs? What brand MHG? Will ARP head studs for a 2jz fit the 1jz? Thanks all!

As a GM tech, there are huge frictional losses through the powertrain of those behemoths. Even with the latest and greatest synthetics, the engine has to do all that work of motivating 3800+ pounds. Simple physics, really. Actually, you two were about even, and here's why. The GTO weighs...

I thought he did. Don't get why, I'm a pretty likeable guy among friends. Even considered loveable, by my girlfriend :)

PM'd Jeff Lange a long time ago, no response. Even a change to "2.5tt89" would be welcome (hint, hint, Jeff).

How do I go about changing my name on here? Admins or mods with this power, please PM me. Thanks!

NICE harness strategy! Damn right I'll run it that way! I have some old 2-way connectors that I can play with to get that connection run right. Could I also take this opportunity to weld up my old EFI harness hole? I still have to run some wiring through there (stereo) but it's much smaller...

Evil: I was asking if I can put my 3.73 ring gear on the torsen chunk and use my halfshafts. I already have the stock clutch-type 3.73 LSD but like how the Torsen works. Or should I just slap the whole Torsen differential onto my subframe (and bolt up the USDM halfshafts?)? LMK. How can I...

I've already looked into the PS lines from DM. . .I have my stock 3.73 LSD back there for now, eventually I'll rebuild the 4.10 Torsen. Might even throw the Torsen on my 3.73 ring gear, if that works. Will run stock ECU for now, when I install the 2j bottom end I'll go AEM. I'm also going to...

BTW, I don't take shortcuts. I strive to do it right the first time. Nothing's worth doing unless it's done right!

Thanks guys. Clean car, tissimo!

What, if any, body to chassis harness issues will I incur? Is there a pre-made harness from one of the vendors that will solve any issues? Need to know what I'm getting myself into. I already know about having to extend the harness, that's no problem. I can cut and solder wires all day if I...

Going 1JZ now. May need a heavier duty oil filter/cooler solution when I go 1.5JZ.

Going hydrofan, getting a clip from DriftMotion. Should solve my problems, correct?

Yeah, I sure am. After writing numbers down and studying "the bottom line," I decided I can get cheaper, more reliable, and more efficient power out of a 1JZ. Any tips/hints/suggestions for me? Total 1JZ noob here. Eventual plans include a 1.5JZ. For now, however, I'd like to be back on the...

Build's on hold for a while. Going 1JZ. Anyone want to provide a good home for a .040 over 7M and some other goodies? PM me!

OK thanks for all the help guys but I'm afraid this thread is over. I'm going 1JZ for cost and reliability reasons.

So what's the expected lifespan (and p/n) on the ATI unit? I only see one for a 5M on their website. P.S. I'm also in search of some sort of solid motor mount for my "round mount" subframe.

Who makes the best damper for a 7M with polished/balanced crank, Eagle Rods, JE pistons, RPS flywheel and clutch? I'm looking to make 700+ hp, and need a damper that'll hold up. I've heard about ATI and unorthodox as a couple of options, but I need more info. Thanks in advance everyone.
