that is f**king great. So is there anybody who has a built 1j. It cant be that great if all you see is all you get. All be better building a 7m or finding a 2j
I've been reading most of your posts and threads about the 1j lately. I think you've really got the wrong idea about the motor as if you're falling victim to all the nay saying myths about the motor.
As far as having a built 1J. Very few stateside have built motors. Mostly for the reason that it isn't neccesary for the power goals of the majority of us. The motor will take most anything that's thrown at it by most who upgrade to single or twins.
There's plenty members with big power 1Js. Mattonedime is pushing over 500, Becauseican is pushing over 500, Hamsmkiii pushed over 500 all on stock block 1Js.
Parts are not that hard to find at all. Whatever you need, you'd be able to get within a reasonable amount of time here in the states. Alot of important parts neccessary for big power builds are now being produced by US companies by individual people that are helping out the 1J community and now shops like SP. Single turbo manifolds, top feed fuel rails. things like that. There's pleny parts on ebay as well.
It might help to ask what exact parts you're looking for and we could give you a better answer where to find them.
