    Mine is similar with a w57 gearbox 4agte borg warner diff

    comes up at WSID 1010kgs.

    BTW if you could legally fit a 1jz into one id have one already. Let alone fitting one in without firewall mods.

    check code of practice - light motor vehicles for your state.
    i have the qld version and it states what weight they declare for
    a particular vehicle. thats the weight you do your calculations on.

    The biggest cause of this is a history of overreving... An SR20 that been treated well isn't noisy and doesn't ratttle...

    Also, taking the engine revs past 7000rpm on an SR20 will sometimes lead the tappet side of the rocker arm fulcrum to jump, and the rocker arm to come off!
