Looking good there lots of respect for hands on work

 

x2 especially for something this major and since apparently your still a kiddo in high school (**** im getting old)

 

Very nice I wish I could do my own work. No one cares about your car more than you do.

 

How come you don't throw in some upgraded internals in that block right now? It looks like you're about to throw some boost into that car pretty soon. If you have the motor torn apart and on the stand, I would recommend you put something beefier in there while you're at it.

 

listen to this guy, he is pretty much a gs god. what would you suggest jeff, just gte or forged? guess it depends on the amount of boost desired huh?

 

i baked them at 200 degrees for 10 minutes and took it out.. started to pry it with a flat head on each corner but careful and do it slowly or else you'll crack the lens. then just pop off the amber then back track and make sure you seal it good and air tight! wouldn't want to redo them




yea i was planning on just building the top end and probably get new rings for the bottom cause ive read about on how 2jz bottom ends are almost like bullet proof.. plus my goal is not on power just around 400 rwhp enough to keep my drift going on dry at track events. but what do you suggest on me changing ? thanks!

 

Wow, it looks so good. I'm getting inspired ..

 

Planning to attempt this on Saturday with an extra set of tails.

 

Nice progress. And that looks like SJPD to me in the photos. LOL

 

nice progress man, i appreciate people who take on jobs like these its awesome, and when its done it makes you feel accomplished

 

very nice. cant wait for some updates! you should def swap out the rod/piston. vvti rods are pretty weak if youre on a budget just throw in some TT internals. also looks like youre using an alum. crank pulley i suggest you stay away from them as they are not harmonically balanced. stick with oem or ati, fluidamper, etc... gl

 

got my stuffs back from hot tanking going to paint the valve cover tomorrow! couldn't work clutch pedal/master cylinder today cause it was too cold

 

Very nice progress!. I wish i had the knowledge to cherry pick my engine

 

for today my arp rod bolts came in so i installed those and installed my front sump and oil pan

 

Nice work
