    1JZ Trying for 600hp on pump

    You could always build a 400hp 1j and then go with a 200 shot of NOS! Just try not to blow the welds off the intake and get the mad scientist involved. Ripping apart the block might ensue. All kidding aside, I know of a guy who just dropped a 1j into his bmw, swapped the cams and runs an afc and...

    Sounds like a rock in the tire

    Typically when an axle goes bad there will be a clicking or popping noise, if you've ever owned an ifs toyota pickup and had a front axle let loose they make a similar noise but the truck will be more pronouced noise. And if money is an issue it is possible to rebuild your current c.v. axle
