THE CARNAGE.. not for the weak of heart...

thanks for the kind words cryolash. i got the warm and fuzzy inside after reading that.

HERE IS THE PLAN..

I'M keeping the shell and a rebuild is going to happen. shooting for over 700hp.

didnt see this post before...

good to hear man! keep on keepin on

I just say 2J since we've done 7M's already. Let's just try something new.

Mike's got money-bags falling out of his closet... come on.

 

[malloynx]

lol, brent i'm a poor SOB...

i'm thinking it's 2JZ time as well.

Damn that makes my cry imagining watching countless months of hard work, and lots of dollars just burn like that

But as always, a failure is an excuse to go bigger and better!

Heres another vote for 2J!

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

for the cost of a 2j, you could have a stronger forged internal 7m. but thats my .02.

 

[MK3Brent]

If I already had a 7M, and something happened and I was starting all over... I'd try something new.

If money was tighter... I'd probably just build a 7M completely.

It's personal opinion, that's all.

Shooting for 700hp?! Does this mean the Boss turbo will be up for grabs?:icon_razz (providing it survived!)

you want honesty so i'll be honest --- one of the big reasons why i loved your car was because you used the original engine (and even exhaust/intake manifolds) to make over 500hp.

if you go the 2jz route, i think you'll have a great engine and all, but it just won't be the same. it's like cheering on barry bonds after you found out he used performance enhancing drugs, it's just not the same. plus the list of 600+hp 2jz's is very long, and that can't be said about the 7M, so that's why personally i build up the 7M.... it's more challenging, there are more milestones/records to be broken and it's original to the car.

whatever you decide to do, make sure you have some play money in case soemething blows up again even if you have to put the project on hold for a year or two to save up.

7M or not Mike's car is clean, fast, and gives the MKIII a good name. It's a hell of a car- 1gge or 2jz, it doesn't matter to me.
