Brainstorming a better system ...
Two things:
1. Is there an Aluminum Block for 2JZ's?
Im wondering because we all understand the need for weight-reduction in an SC; but has anyone considered going as far as reducing the engine-weight as well?
2. Does anyone have a 2JZ-FSE?
If so, how is it?
From what I've read, it puts out the same power, only at lower RPM, and is also more fuel-efficient.

Even the gutted track sc's are still "heavy"

One guy even offered to trade me his 240, and it was HOOKED-up; musta had like $15,000 into it.
I just couldn't do it.
It's not so much about having a lighter vehicle though; it's about getting the best out of my SC (or "making" the best of my SC).
Billet Aluminum? Thats interesting.
What do the gutted track SC's weigh (in general)?

Maybe on an n/a car. The 2jz was designed to be turbo, and with an aluminum block it wouldn't be nearly as good as with the cast iron block, plus the reliability would be shot. Thats why toyota made the 2UZ with a cast block where the 1uz is all aluminum.
The cast Iron block was used on all generations of toyota inline 6's from 1965 to recently when they were discontinued.
Give the toyota M engine page on wiki a good read. Toyota has been doing this a long time.
The combination of the Cast Iron block and an aluminum head is what makes the toyota inline 6 so reliable and powerful at the same time.
what you are looking for is just called a 1uz-fe and its a v8.
The FSE uses toyota's new system where there aren't traditional injectors, they are different kind that shoot into the combustion chamber directly or something like that, which makes it more efficient, but I dont know if you can slap a turbo on or do any heavy mods without increasing fuel somehow.
If one was looking to stay n/a then it may not be a bad idea.
