I have a 2jzge with 2.4mm hg. but im looking to install TT pistons and use the TT gasket but i have read that some use the GE HG too? I plan to daily drive with E85 tune but switch to pump gas for road trips. just wanted to make sure my research is correct that the tt pistons and tt gasket will be reliable with 500whp

if you want a solid setup with good throttle response and and excellent boost response , ditch the idea of using gte pistons unless you are using the ge metal headgasket which will give you around 9:2 compression .. if you use a 2.4 headgasket you are lowering compression way too much and you squish factor within combustion chamber will be completely out of wack and make you more prone to detonation.. to keep it simple and costs down , keep your stock bottomend , use gte headgasket and some arp headstuds and you are good

i have been boosted on my orig motor for almost 6 years , been at 600 rwhp on pump gas since oct 2010 , nearly 3 years and all i have is alot of headwork, custom 268 high duration high lift cams , tt headgasket and completely stock ge bottomend .. this yields me around 9:4 cr .. my new motor being built as replacement will be closer to 10.0 cr .. how many gte setups do you know of that makes 600 rwhp on pump gas at only 19 psi of boost on only a 67 mm turbo

if you are serious about e85 , e85 loves high compression and timing

well the aem fireware update for flexfuel should be soon, my work has a e85 gas station next to it so why now try e85? and wont the ring lands fail on the na pistons? my tuner is concerned that they will fail if pushed beyond 450hp with my current setup. im making 322ftlbs at 3k, isnt torque what breaks stuff? thats why i was inclined to use tt pistons but im just curious thats all
