Oh, just to show everyone what its capable of, 2006 WRX STi - 0 / 1990 MA70 Supra -1

As much as I'd love to back you on this one, he was either not trying...or he's an idiot

[EldarO]

Idiot + the fact that i have a bucketload more torque, and i had a slight rolling start, 2-3 km/h as opposed to stop.

Actually, i'd hazard a guess to say, unless you've upped the boost significantly, you'd have less torque, less power and more weight...

[Cressida91GLX]

g/l with gasket I think mine is on the way too lol. If mine will go I will go for jzx or 2jzge, not for the power just for the peace of mind ;

Heh heh... I have no problems against an STI

But yeah... am I the only 7m owner without a BHG since ownership? I wonder how long this streak of good luck will last....?

Maybe its a good idea also to get your radiator flushed as well. You did say it had cold spots!

[EldarO]

Yeah, forgot to mention that too,

radiator is getting flushed, all old hoses replaced, dash wiring/guages fixed etc. etc.

I figure if i spend a bunch now, it will save me heartache and more money later.

sorry to hear eldaro , but p00 motors are teh p00 p00

hurrah for 1JZ power in 2007 we can finally race teh streets of perth and be fairly matched in weight and powers

[EldarO]

John, once again, your input is redundant.

[Admiral coFF33]

hahah u fuckin girl , whats ya problem ?

[EldarO]

the supra wont be back this weekend, as i had planned, as it wont be the standard HG replacement.

why?

The head... its so corroded the mechanic is suprised that it ever actually ran, to top that, one of the head bolts snapped inside the block on removal.

so, i need a new head,
gasket,
set of studs,
and ive told him to have a look around for a stronger head gasket, apparantly hes worked on a few of these before, and theres a hybrid avaliable, with metal rings, but stronger than the stock rings.

either way, $1400 purchase price of engine, $2.5-3k fixing.

i could have a working 1JZ with r154 box sitting in my engine bay, and still have money to spare.

such is life, i guess i wont be doing that conversion at the end of this year either, time for the p00 motor to get some work done, and pump out some serious torque.
