ok i was wondering how long do you guys think a 2jzge motor with 185k on it would last if i boost it at the max 20lbs. and this is if i get arp head studs and bolts with steel head gasket. im just curious if anybody else has done it to an engine with alot of miles with out rebuilding the complete motor. my head gasket blew on my car and i was really leaning towards 1jz but i already have a big single turbo, intercooler, wastegate, and blow valve. so im pretty much almost half way there so i was thinking why not just slap it on my 2jzge since i already got it a part. What do you guys think?

Should be fine, especially since you are upgrading head gasket. Stock GE lasts a LONG time if maintained correctly.

The question is what tranny do you have??

Lol I have seen a almost 300k mile n/a lower end make 1000whp so you will be fine.

i have a w58 shooting for 400hp i knw everybody gonna say i need a r154... hahahaha

supraclay

so you guys are confirming 400hp is going to be fine on an block that has 185k on it and will atleast give me a few years out of it without throwing a rod or something?

my car made 468 whp w/ the w58 and still holding fine.
my car will be hitting it's 2 years of being boosted next month and the motor has been holding great.

Ok you guys looks like I'm looking forward to going na/t thanks for the input.

Do you guys know of a decent forward facing intake manifold that still hooks up to all the vacuum lines and she valve and such without a lot of custom work being done?
