I thought that I would share with my fellow 1JZ brothers of what our "Soarers" are capable of. My mechanic has been doing excellent work for me and I highly recommend him. I just thought that I would show a quick sneaky peaky before I go in and bring home the big dyno numbers in the next few weeks. I am having a hard time finding a clutch that will hold up to 800 whp, let alone anything greater than 600.

So for those who have been pm'ing me for the updates, I promise that I will have one up later. In the mean time, here is something to look at. I will have complete photos once I finish up with the tuning and cleaning up of the engine bay. Thanks!

maybe you will change my mind on doing a 2JZGTE swap to doing a 1JZGTE swap. the ball is in your court manne

 

Alot of people will argue with you (that are open minded) that the 1JZ is the superior motor in a design standpoint. It has a better bore/stroke combination. People think supra and think the best, but Toyota knew what they were doing with the 1JZGTE.

I would personally never make a 1.5JZ, it just totally defeats the purpose of the motors design. It has a very smooth and useable powerband, unlike what the 2JZ is known for... off, and on.

When i used to race gokarts professionally, we had an open motor brand "stock" class. We had a choice of 4 motors.. Kohler 185cc, Honda 20xcc, Briggs 206cc.. I was the only person to race the kohler, everyone thought bigger was better. The Kohler has the optimal bore/stroke combination but everyone just saw size. The motors were all rated around 6hp. While the Honda and briggs guys were hitting the of their power around 6000rpms on the backstretch, the kohler would rev to a good 7500rpms. Being it was a .62mi asphalt roadcourse with 1000ft straightaway, on race gokarts with just a clutch system (no gearbox), i usually always ended up winning by ALOT. Everyone always thought i was cheating, blah blah because on the straight i would just rocket past everyone. Ok long story short.. The moral is.. Bigger isnt always better. Know what your working with and what your purposes are for it, the american theroy that bigger is better isnt always true

 

can someone please tell me what in the world this post has to do with the thead????

as you you koatiq.... your like my ex back in high school.... show me a little, and get my hopes up, then leave the room. post some pics of that monster!!

 

Gentlemen, please be polite to one another. Thank you.

kaotiq, looking good congrats! Can't wait to get the full press release

 

cant wait for the numbers.... good luck with her

 

sorry dave, i was trying to be poilite... i was just having a hard time figuring out what the relationship was to the thread.

 

What tranny are you using? I can give idea's for clutches depending on trans. Keep it up man fellow Single 1jz brother

 

thank you for the kind words my friends. I will prove that the 1JZ can stand as a superior motor for those who only believe in the 2JZ (even though, I believe that the 2JZ is a great motor as well).

ARIZ: I'm running the R154. I just need to get a good clutch that will allow me to hit 700 WHP

 

veryyy nice. your car is going to be so sick. i want to do a swap so bad, im so jealous. i cant wait for the numbers. looks excellent.
