the info I read ages ago that I cant find again you eather use standard 2jz bearings or off the shelf over sized ones

Simple more compression and a bit stronger bottem end for half the price if you can get a good set of standard ones

yeah well Im only after 310-320rwkw but I think that just gona be a bit to far for a standard na internals and not enough power to justify spending $2500 or so on internals so Thought I may aswell ask the question to see if it is easy or its to much hassle for the money saved

it'll cost you more to get 2jz bits in, than it will to just buy a set of pistons and rod bolts mate.

i mean that is if its even possible.

given what complete 2jz motors sell for, i wouldn't think a bottom end would be all that cheap also?

Was more thinking ring gas motor sports or somthing and see if they had a good set they had pulled out of a motor they had rebuilt.

While you keep saying it would be cheaper and less hassale to forge build it. I was thinkig the same but unless I asked I would never no what was involved

I had no intentions of doing it unless I could find people who had done it and wasnt much involved and could get the 2jz bits for a good price. Im not stupid that I would just go waste money and try in with out info to back it up

So all you are doing is backing up what I suspected so theres no piont posting unless you have tryed or know of some one who has that has succeed or failed

spose, i just usually build somethign to last, and i would never use a standard bottom end. bearings ect are a few hundred, machining, balancing, crank collar, all the other extra's. hell i even clearanced my own bearings and all. 25gearbox to hold it up, theres another 2grand.

but if we are talking about a "budget" build, im still convinced of buying a 2jz halfcut with a box and with left over money throw it at some add-ons.

a 2jz halfcut with a 6 speed is over 5k isn't it?

Well to buy a V160 with a clutch etc is around 5-6k depending on what else comes with it....So I would say a Manual 2JZGTE halfcut would be bloody expensive

The cheapest way would be a 1JZ manual half cut ($3500) with a 2JZ NA bottom end ($1000).

Yet of coarse you run into the barrier of, who's gonna do your work and at what cost?

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
