forged engine the choices

[F_T_F]

so ive had my supra back together for about two weeks now after replacing the head gasket and behold i have blown the head gasket again. so rather then just replacing it again i think that i am going to pull the engine and compleately rebuild with forged pistons, rods and other goodies. my goal with this car is to eventually see 600 hp. so with that i would like to know the pros and cons of different brand of forged rods, pistons, and bearings. thanks for any help

i don't really know of anyone downfall of aftermarket pistons/ rods for the 7m.

all are good.
Just get a good machinest, and triple check all your clearances and you will have a stout motor.

What Spool said.

I've seen a lot of good reviews of JE. But that doesn't mean that the others are any worse.

Just make damn sure that everything is WELL within the tolerance.

same question here. I'm shooting at 400rwhp, and i want to go all forged and maybe in future go for 500-600rwhp. What internals should i get? And what other works need to be carried out in order to hold this power?

 

[Idealsupra]

crowers/pauters, eagles

cp's, weiscos, je

in that order

Search on here for the guys who are making 600 HP and you'll have a good idea of what you'll need. Most likely they'll have a list of almost every piece that has been put into thier engines .

I've got Arias forged rods/pistons in mine now.
That decision was purely budgetary - got 'em at a discount!

wow, if it blew in 2 weeks you must have really messed up somewhere along the lines.

Did you even check to see if the head was warped, or did you just scrape the old HG off and slap a new one on?

no i had the heads resurfaced and made sure that there was no gasket material on the block.

Um.... Supras have only one head for starters . Second, you should have had the block and the rear timing plate machined at the same time. That's is most likely why you BHG'd.
