    Bigaaron's "5M crank in a 7M" build thread!

    I am also thinking about knife edging the crank, and getting a lightened flywheel, along with 264 cams and upgraded valve springs with shim under buckets, and a better sounding exhaust. I want it to sound sweet and rev very quickly to about a 8500rpm redline. Next thing I need to think about...

    Godfather Of Soul Passes On

    James Brown was the man, that is so sad. I listen to his greatest hits album in the car all the time. Much of the r&b and rap we listen to now was derived from his origional style.

    Bigaaron's "5M crank in a 7M" build thread!

    Here are a few pics of the 5m crank with the 7m timing cover on the block. As you can see there is not much crank sticking out to work with for a custom pulley, and the 5m pulley would rub on the aluminum cover. I think I am going to have our crank shop make the end of the 5m crank just like the...

    1jz = Torque Monster!

    Something has got to be a little off, we just dyno'd Ray's 1jz Cressida on a Dynapack and it made 272whp with no boost controller and 10.5/1 af's on the top end. Your torque is about right but the HP is way low for even a 1jz with stock downpipe. If you have a stock downpipe you need to check...

    LIPP AFM

    Send them to Cruzin Performance instead of RC. He has all the same equipment as RC, you get a complete data sheet, and a set of injectors seals ($30 worth) is included, for $14 per injector. He did the injectors in my 7m and a bunch for our customers, and the turnaround time was fast...

    Jose / DriftMotion 1JZ

    Jose's cracked on both sides. The strut bar has a lot more stress put on it with a stiff set of coilovers (16k and 20k iirc), especially when you drive the car hard into every corner.

    LIPP AFM

    I thought the whole point of the lexus afm was that it is bigger then stock by about 20%.

    LIPP AFM

    I agree, you could easily straighten out the little bent parts and even if you didn't it is not going to be a problem. It's not in the middle which is good.

    Preferred clutch brand?

    We usually use ACT for bpu 1jz/7m, and Exedy single or twin plate for the more heavily modified cars.

    IS THERE A BHG SECTION??

    Yes, not all 7m bhg's are from poor maintenance or abuse. It had design flaws to begin with.

    IS THERE A BHG SECTION??

    Record for two days? No way, my friend's got a bhg on the way home from buying it! Most mk3's are sold BECAUSE THEY HAVE A BHG!

    Rocky Balboa

    Maybe we should add that if you were not alive to at least remember Rocky III (1982), you might not fully appreciate this one.

    Rocky Balboa

    I saw it tonight, and I REALLY enjoyed it. It was great, exactly what you would want to see as the end to the series, and much better then you would expect.
