It's easy to see that the clamping force put on the stock headgasket in the areas it is very narrow (between the cylinders and the water jackets), is insufficent for the high cylinder pressures that can occur under boost. More head bolt torque helps, but doesn't fix the problem that the...

It was more like a slight let down then a pipe dream crash. It ends up being less expensive to have the pistons be the only custom made part (other then the crank). I could have used the rods from the I6 Chevy motor (I forget which it was), but the crank would need to be ground to 2.00" on the...

Not getting fuel pump turning on at all would not be the regulator. Is the stock fuel pump relay and resistor plugged in in the engine bay? The speed cut defencer goes inline with the only pink wire going to the ecu. The other two wires are 12v ign switched and ground. Here is the...

Even I am at a loss for words about this statement. And I'm never at a loss for words. :biglaugh: I will bow out of this, it could get ugly.

Chris Cornell is the man. Matt Cameron is one of my favorite drummers ever. The problem with Audioslave is that the drummer sucks and the guitar solos are retarded and don't match the style of music. I like Audioslave, but it's just not as good as Soundgarden back in the day. It's like that...

I understand, but your situation was the exception, not the rule. We have spoken with hundereds of people about their engine swaps, and they don't usually end up as cheap as yours. When I talk on the forum I am saying what I think will apply to the majority of people, there are always...

I would call buying an incomplete engine set "jumping over dollars to get to pennies". The money you save on the set in the beginning, will be lost plus more buying all the missing items you will need. The set was $2200, then how many hours to source out all the missing parts, and how much...

Ray on sawblades? What is this world coming to? LOL Matt, you are seriously pimpin out your ride yo!

If you want 7mgte all we have is cores for rebuild. I've never heard anything bad about Jarco.

Hey Jay, what are you doing with the IC piping? It's easier and for it to go straight down from the intake. Or did you want to relocate the battery anyways?

Sulfuric Acid. JK!

Try carb cleaner.

iirc, the mk4 wheels are +45, which is the reason the wheels are not rubbing the fenders.

Jono is doing it like we do. One more thing to mention, there is a white wire in the 7m fusebox connector that needs to be popped out and put into the 1jz fusebox connector. You can tell which one it is because there is an empty slot in the 1jz fusebox connector for it. And also make sure to...

I should have added "or for a street car". You'll be just fine on the interstate. Dave's ~300whp 1jz was pulling about 2 car lengths on the freeway before my 420whp 7m spooled up. Where the 1jz shines is throttle response and nice powerband with the right turbo. I just ramble on...

It depends a lot on how low the car is. I think 245/45/17 is about the best match for a 275/40/17 on the back. 255/40/17 would probably fit in the front on a 9" +35 wheel but you will probably need to roll the fenders.

Oh cool, whatttup!

As much as I like the 1jz, I'm not putting one in a drag car, sorry. It's like drag racing a WRX or a Civic.........WHY? It's not what the engine or car will be best at, why waste your time and money? The 1jz would be better for a drift car, or a track car.
