KKtrips Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Show me your shit on Friday Cheerios.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheerios Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 thanks guys! it owes me about $15,000 so far, i'd hate to think how much it would be had i been paying someone to do it for me! so really its a pretty achievable build. I estimate it will be about $25,000 ~ $30,000 when finished. Sorry KK i wont be here this weekend but Andy Gal will give you a full pine tour of it, i'll be in Sydney at the world time attack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheerios Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Thanks! it took me about 60 hours over 3 months, I learnt alot though so other side should take me 20 hours. Still along way to go though but my goal is 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yowzer Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Did you just cast your own engine mounts?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheerios Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 yep sure did, they are on their way to heat treatments now after what they should be x2 as strong then i'll final machine them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingbrick Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 That is fucking awesome agree! what did it cost to have the casting done? you just made the plug? I'd never have thought if taking engine mounts that far, simply awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Good work Bairdy. What fuel are you planning on using? Have you seen this? That's a stock 2jzge+t on e85 through a big stalled converter, so probably making ~700 at the fly. Pretty impressive, but probably not what you are going for. Also 2jz's love head porting, they did one on PF and it came on boost ~600 rpm earlier and made a bunch more power. Conclusions: 2JZ's are easy to get inlet flow up to a point, after that getting more is a prick - exhaust flow is harder to get on stock valves, bigger valves help a lot. Port runners become a restriction with larger valves, significant work is required to get them flowing - exhausts need a LOT of metal removal. These engines will respond well to more lift than stock, any more than a basic cleanup on the intakes is not worth it unless bigger cams are going to be used. For stock cams you'd stick with stock intake valves - extra lift is required to get the most from a larger valve. Exhausts will benefit from larger valves, even with stock cams. This head has now gone past what you would call a street port & is verging on fairly extreme. Now I just have to finish it!

My name is Russell Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Gosh, what a neat job you are doing! Would be wicked if you could do some tech articles for us if you ever had some free time. Or though your project thread is basicly one sweet ideas thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK http://performanceforums.com/forums/showthread.php?67216619-2JZ-head-porting/ IMO I would exhaust ( pun not intended but I'll take it) all other options before spending loads if doh on head porting. they already flow enough for more than what he will probably be able to use realistically and they are not poor flowing heads stock compared to other engines out there. remember it has two extra cylinders to breath through for a given hp than a 3s. just IMO. I had a tt supra and head porting was the last thing needed from the research I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 You weren't building a circuit racing car though? Increased area under the curve would be far higher on my list than dynoqueen hp figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 well then he needs to size his turbo respectably. I agree with you, don't want to argue just saying its not a necessity ( but then neither is a 2j trueno I guess!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 you may have already said, or i may be dreaming, but is this going to be road legal? or purely for track use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyGal Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Road legal, so we can go for weekend drives and 300ks through Lyttleton tunnel with me out the window wearing a dust mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
