Biggest Cylinder Bore Possible

[Isphius]

well as they say with most out of the ordianry projects, the hardest part is getting through the nay-sayers. Turbos - Been there, done that. 300hp NA 7m - Never been Lol. I want an NA motor because I dont want a turbo motor. Not cause of any specific reason, just cause I like NA motors. Boost is fun, but I dont have much of a taste for it. But yeah....270-300 will be my eventual goal. Im definatley gona get one of the most badass head jobs possible, Plus if its a stroked, bumped compression motor, that should already put me about 270 hp with massive all RPM torque. Plus If it goes into a 2800 lb mk2 chassis, Id be haulin ass. Im not after a total hot rod, just somethign fun, quick, and reliable. Plus i want something I can cruise around at the classis car events in, and I dont think a mk3 would cut it. A mk2 would fit in fine though!

seriously man - 2jzge would be what you want

ehh, the 2jz-ge comes in at 10.5:1 compressiion IIRC, and makes just as much power as a turbo 7m. a bored and stroked 7m-ge should be making more than 232 crank. hell, a stock bore and stroke 7m with a 10.5:1 CR should be making more than that.

1.) The shop guy ive been talking too has no experience with the 2jz.

2.) The 2jz is more expensive

3.) There are more parts for a 7m-ge than a 2jz-ge.

4.) I like the 7m motor!

Where are you getting your information on this?

1)The 2JZGE is very similar to the 7MGE, I think your "shop guy" could handle it if he has any automotive experience at all.

2)2JZGE = $650 shipped.. thats what I payed and thats a little expensive for one, it comes out of so many vehicles how could it not be that cheap??

3)Have you looked? So how would you know.. there are way more parts factor/aftermarket for the 2JZ.. how do I know? I've actually looked before making a statement.

4) Me too! But we're just trying to help. I'm not trying to tell you what to do either I'm just trying to get you to get your facts straight.I agree with p5150 BTW, if you read up a little bit, and got past your prejudices I think you'd be singing a different tune very quickly.

I'm not trying to be an ass, I'm just trying to help you out.

The other reasons are crap. (Especially the parts thing.. .There are tons of 2JZGE parts out there)

But this one is the one that matters. You run what you like.

Personally I'm doing a 2JZ-GE NA->T swap into my MKIII next year, because it looks like fun (and I have a spare 2JZ-GE)...

Do what you want man, it's your car.

2JZ-GE = no brainer.......

To get equal performance/reliability from a GE7m you'll spend 3>4 times the $$$

well I guess if i could find a good deal on a 2jz....that wouldnt be a bad idea. I do have a question though...did they all come with the vvti system? I did love that on my mr2, but then what complications does that add to any kind of head work? I guess I am starting to see the light here....But I also have to drive a 2jz-ge powered car. I rode in a gs300...or ls...one of those bigger 4 door lexii...but it was too long ago.

No, only the last couple of years were VVT-I. The 2JZ-GE I plan to stuff in my MKIII is a 1995 and it's not VVT-I.

I went with the 95' GE from an SC300 in my MKIII.. I must say this is a very smooth motor and I feel very comfortable with it. Feel free to PM me if you have questions or need anything Isphius.
