6 cylinders & 2 turbos, for now

Thought I would snap some pictures this morning. What do I see a 2jz.

Block bored and surfaced ready to be honed. Pistons ready for coating. Freshly polish/balanced crank.

From the few times I've been on supraforums, they seem like a bunch of nut swinging idiots. Have you tried SupraMania? There is plenty of Supra knowledge right here in MN anyways though.

yep signed up for superamania and waiting approval then my project build will go on there and thanks for the photos! Can't wait for the pistons to come back frm coating.

Nice!

So what will help against knock since I read on another thread of Halons that Shane was saying 2jz motors knock alot more then others. Will aftermarket valves with different shaping to them, cleaning and polishing of the combustion areas on the head and a full coated piston running 9.5:1 compression on e85 help prevent the knock that an otherwise more stock 2jz motor would produce?

Shane any input on this one ^? Also the pistons are supposidly back from coating and am just waiting on photos from MAP. Maybe the rods are in too :)

[Halon]

Nice :)

I can't speak from experience as much as Shane. All I can speak on is what I've read.

That was one article with some good info I thought. The author of that thread is one of those individuals who's made close to 1000hp on stock NA motors (10:1) so I tend to listen to what he says.

Main cliff notes I took out of that article are:

Higher compression is your friend (to a point) as long as you have control over fuel & timing, and especially if you are feeding your motor booze (meth, e85, etc).
He personally runs a 12:1 setup.
Higher compression means same power at less boost because of better "squish". If knocking is detected, lower timing advance to counter act that.

[Speedfreak]

The higher the compression, the smaller the "tuning window". Which basically means you are always closer to detonation then you would be with lower compression. It's a riskier route, but can be accomplished if set up/maintained/tuned very well.

But is that still very true with e85?
