Only Happy When it Rains

There is a reason people can push 30 or 40 more horsepower through the car easily, and only really experience problems at over double the stock horsepower. There is also a reason the 2JZ can push out all sorts of insane power levels.

My alternator is still in the engine compartment. It could not be seperated from the positive battery cable. It started to twist the stud even after letting it soak overnight in penatrating oil. I let it be, and its still attached to the harness. I also had problems with alternator and A/C compressor mounting bolts and T-stat studs, bypass tube studs and dip stick hold down. My previous car was a 93 lexus sc300 with 178,000 mi. I never had problems like this. This car seems disposable by comparison.

Its time to get serious. Unfortunatly I am still waiting on one crank main bearing that is coming on a slow boat from Japan. These rods look incredibly strong.

Those are easily twice the size of the normal rods

Pauter rods are definitely one of the best! I was trying to lay my hands on them when I first started my build but then somehow settled for Crower.

It looks like I should get my parts in by the end of the week. Time to start check list. Cylinder hone, check assembly lube, check, plsti-guage check. I am already looking at new turbo's and planing a 3" downpipe from hell. Not yet sure I can make it fit yet.

What are these motor mount inserts you speak of? I could use something to stop the twisting. Im sure it will only get worse now on.

Check with energy suspension to see if they make them for the Yaris. That is what I use.

What did you mean by this " Most of Toyota's v8's are even all aluminum now. Only the IS F and the LFA mention anything other than aluminum."?

Progress and set backs this weekend. I finally recieved all my engine bearings from Toyota on thursday. This weekend I set out to build this short block with a friend "Dent Guy" who built his own 1000hp 2jz supra motor. The instructions for the rods say U may need notch the block for the rod clearance on small bore engines. It took three attemps to remove enough material to clear the rods during crank rotation and still have the indicated 1/16 clearance remaining. And this also means cleaning the block and oil passages three times and R&R the crank three times. This took a long time. On final assembly the very last piston compression ring on the last piston broke while my friend was very gently sliding it over the top of the piston. THAT SuCKED. I was hoping to get this thing running by today or tomarrow. So now I will be ordering a ring set for one piston from CP on monday and hopfully having it shipped overnight to finish assembly on the short block.

This was my first attempt at notching the block. It was not nearly enough as seen by the assembled pic.
