You make a good point. All the other internals are new, and so shall the Rods. I've decided to go with the Eagle Rods. Van

I'm revlimited by virtue of the conservative build I'm having put together. I'm still on a CT26 turbo w/a 50 "trim" compressor wheel. The cams I'm using have had both sets of durations increased by 10 degrees, so I can take advantage of the power up to 6500 RPM and widen the torque curve w/max...

How much lighter are the Eagle rods? Enough to make a noticable difference in how fast the revs come up? Van

Is this an example of what you referenced, http://www.10000rpm.com/images/stories/2009pricesheetsm.pdf. Any personal experience; If so, how well do they perform? Van

My Thank You to all! The engine builder suggested I stay with the stock rods for my power goals. He is going to have them stress relieved, I said: "What, you're giving them a massage?" No, heat treated and coated with oil shedding ceramic coating, to reduce windage... Oh! I asked about...

Are there light weight con rods that are in the same price range which are rated for 400RWHP, on an enduro engine, rev limited to 7500RPM? I'm planning to reduce the reciprocating weight, and retain Toyota reliability. Thanks, Van

Still no one wishes to rent out their torque plate? I've got the block at the machinist's and need one, soon... Van

I'm needing to know the advantages/disadvantages in using aluminum connecting rods for a road race engine that will be rev limited to 7500 RPM, and will see an enduro a year. Van

^bump^

Due to the wear on the plate over the past four years, the torque plate is no longer available. I apologize for any inconvenience with regard to UR build. Van

Thanks, Ian. I'll suggest that to the engine builder. Van

IJ, and forum, I just received the Ishi-J crank scraper and it is the no-touch type, designed to be 1mm (.040") from the crank. Now the issue is the fitment, and I'll be sending this off to the engine builder to install. Do you have any recommendations with regard to keeping the engine oil in...

IJ, I ordered the listed option online, through SIP Racing; steel, 6M crank scraper. Are there performance reasons to go with the teflon version? Van

Hi IJ, Interesting question... Contact or noncontact? The SIP Racing web page description didn't specify any other choice beside a crank scraper for a 6M or 7M... After it arrives I'll let you all know. Van

Hey! The fabricator that is modifing the pan doesn't want to hack into the work done by Toyota, as he said the pan has a "kind of windage tray". So he is working around it and is adding swinging door baffles into the oil pan bulges, purchased through Speedway Motors. I ordered the Ishi-J, 6M...

I must check my preferences as I'm not getting notices sent to me via email. That said... Thank you all very much, for the direction and information, as it has helped me. I've a local builder who is familiar w/2JZs (soon 7Ms) and he's going to help me with this rebuild. I plan to have it done...

Hello List, I'm about to rebuild the bottom end of my 205,000 Mile 7M, and read that Toyota sells "select fit bearings" as replacements. My question: do those bearings come in a kit, one which includes all the different bearings for the 7M, or do I need to know exactly which size bearing is...

IJ, Good idea! Thanks. Van

The oil pan is at Finish Line Coatings, getting ceramic coated, with an oil shedding coat inside and thermal heat dispersant outside. I'll see if Russ Meeks has a camara I can use at his shop, to put the modified pan online. He modified the oil pan, using the oil pan bulges from Speedway...

Wanted you both to know, I followed your recommendations and I like the results. Thanks, Van
