Same as it has been for the last couple months. Have the money in hand for the head work to get done so that helps!
All that has to be done:
Head work/valves
Machine the head and block again
Rebuild the engine
Twin Plate clutch
Install engine and new trans
Replace the heater core
Make the new exhaust
Full Tune
Profit

If it all holds together I should be able to keep up with you till you come into boost D:
10's woud be sweet, but that would mean at minimum a roll bar is needed, and that means commitment to this chassis, I kinda want a dark blue sunroof one...

What kind of power should it make when it is all put back together and working right? think you could crack 700 with man boost?
twin plate? ouch, expensive. needed though
and heater core replacement? now I know why you didn't wanna do anything to the car! LOL

WTF is "Man Boost", Mike? lolol!
In all reality, if I can come close to what Dan makes after his 2J is refreshed, I'll be very happy. I will have more head work into mine, which should theoretically put me ahead in flow, but c'mon its a JZ series, they make power at idle, LOL!
Does anyone know where I can source an aluminum heater core from? Everything I have found so far has been brass, something about an Iron block, AL head, AL radiator, and a Brass heater makes me feel nervous.

With a 67mm? Anything over 35psi. 
Hell, I ran 34 psi on my little stock 41 lbs/min Evo turbo. (It tapered down to 19-20 psi, but that just goes to show you how hard I pushed that little fucker!)

Ok, since we've established man boost= 35+ psi, now what is "big power"? haha

Hooray! Didn't get much else, but this was a good Christmas
Have to wait until Tuesday for the machine shop to open back up- need to get the valve seats ground for the bigger valves first, then it goes up to Cloud for the port work! (at the porter's suggestion)
Got a new set of piston rings ordered up- the second compression rings on all pistons had some strange oxidation on them that I didn't like. Top comp and oil control rings looked great, not sure what went on there :/

Damn, looking pretty. All I got was a watch from my wife. Sounds like you must have got hold of Iner. Swing by and see the 2JZ if you get a chance.
Eh, stuff happens so ya just fix it and put 'er back together! I could complain about stuff but in reality I don't care about the fact it broke, it was waaaaaaaaaay too much fun driving around the track at Powercruise!

And you had better believe that I'm going to be ready for it again this year!

Steve, that looks like a hell of a lot of fun. I may just have to try that my self next season.
So the head is finally getting machined, then it'll be off for porting, then a valve job and surfacing! In the meantime I'm going through my new transmission to try to get it shaped up for the build!
funfunfun!
funfunfun!
Hey Steve, are you doing the Marlin Crawler upgrades? If so, eventually would love to do my Supra as well. This year I am really planning to test her hard. Let me know when your going to be in St. Cloud. Sean will be here next weekend. We will be putting the manifolds on the beast.
