ill put the 2j bottom back on when i blow the 1j which if i make that kind of power ill need a 1j head anyways since it has a better cast and design the 2j has a casting flaw in cyl 5 and 6 and smaller exhaust vales

An old member here did his Kaze kit in yellow and it was beautiful. You are going to do a different color right?

and yea...what the fuck? 2jz for a 1jz?

 

[RazoE]

that's like swapping in a 5m head on your 7m because it has bigger valves...

oh well, looks great though, just make sure you ditch those mirrors for some jdm/euro or 89+ mirrors..

Looking good. Can't wait to see the final product.

pics of said casting flaws/source of 1JZ vs. 2JZ valve measurments? Just currious is all.

thanks i had mixed feelings at first they had to grow on me cause i realy dont like kits all that much myself

 

[suprastanger507mgte]

This body kit looks so much better with a dark color rather than brighter ones - which makes it look fat and ugly.
I think your choice of color on this car ( Grey) will definitly make this car look a awesome. Even black will be aweome on it.

Use those wheels on the rear too and use spacers.

the 2jz head flows more then the 1jz stock to stock modifled as well as porting and vavles so donw grade if you wish

it bean discused many times on supra forums

not all information on the forums are correct i trust in facts from the encyclopedia/ wikipedia and the yes the 2j has a great head but it does have casting flaws in cyl 5 & 6 and also has smaller exhaust port but then again it does have longer valve duration and clearance on the intake side you know you win some you lose some just cant ever get it all
