the info I read ages ago that I cant find again you eather use standard 2jz bearings or off the shelf over sized ones

Simple more compression and a bit stronger bottem end for half the price if you can get a good set of standard ones

yeah well Im only after 310-320rwkw but I think that just gona be a bit to far for a standard na internals and not enough power to justify spending $2500 or so on internals so Thought I may aswell ask the question to see if it is easy or its to much hassle for the money saved

it'll cost you more to get 2jz bits in, than it will to just buy a set of pistons and rod bolts mate.

i mean that is if its even possible.

given what complete 2jz motors sell for, i wouldn't think a bottom end would be all that cheap also?

Was more thinking ring gas motor sports or somthing and see if they had a good set they had pulled out of a motor they had rebuilt.

While you keep saying it would be cheaper and less hassale to forge build it. I was thinkig the same but unless I asked I would never no what was involved

I had no intentions of doing it unless I could find people who had done it and wasnt much involved and could get the 2jz bits for a good price. Im not stupid that I would just go waste money and try in with out info to back it up

So all you are doing is backing up what I suspected so theres no piont posting unless you have tryed or know of some one who has that has succeed or failed

spose, i just usually build somethign to last, and i would never use a standard bottom end. bearings ect are a few hundred, machining, balancing, crank collar, all the other extra's. hell i even clearanced my own bearings and all. 25gearbox to hold it up, theres another 2grand.

but if we are talking about a "budget" build, im still convinced of buying a 2jz halfcut with a box and with left over money throw it at some add-ons.

a 2jz halfcut with a 6 speed is over 5k isn't it?

Well to buy a V160 with a clutch etc is around 5-6k depending on what else comes with it....So I would say a Manual 2JZGTE halfcut would be bloody expensive

The cheapest way would be a 1JZ manual half cut ($3500) with a 2JZ NA bottom end ($1000).

Yet of coarse you run into the barrier of, who's gonna do your work and at what cost?

    • No not yet.  Hopefully this weekend if I can pluck up the confidence!  I had to sit in the car at one point yesterday to unbolt the rear struts.  As mentioned in an earlier post when I was putting it together there is still a bit of rotation possible so when I sat in the car, it rotated a little bit.  I near shit myself thinking the whole thing was coming down!  I do 99% of my own shit in the shed but I think I might call on some assistance the first time I spin it!
    • Strong first post. On a Skyline-centric forum. Have you considered actually going out into the world, visiting the actual dealership, and asking the parts guy over the counter? Or at least just call them up on the phone?
    • Should shit that in as for the driver ability probably not
    • Trying to find the plastic under cover for an 04' Forester X. The main under cover that covers most of the front of the vehicle under the engine. This has turned out to be a crazy experience. Normally I can find parts for vehicles, if I have the correct info, no problem. But not this! The Forester is a non-turbo btw. In a Forester parts catalog, for model years 03'-06', it shows part# 56410SA070 as being the correct part. So I go to the local Subaru dealership's website to order it. I type in the part#, hit search and there it is, the under cover. "DOES THIS PART FIT YOUR VEHICLE?" I type in my VIN# and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle. See Similar Parts For Your Vehicle." I click on that and part# 56410SA000 comes up. Looks absolutely nothing like the previous part. Not even close. So I go to a different Subaru dealer website and put in that 2nd part# (56410SA000) and "This Part Has Been Replaced By" 56410SA070, which is the first part I looked up. I thought OK, makes sense. They replaced the strange looking part, with the one I looked up first, so I add it to the cart. "Does This Part Fit Your Vehicle?" I type in my VIN#, and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle." I've basically been doing this with various parts suppliers and dealerships, for the past 4 hours! Does anyone know what the hell is going on?? Thanks in advance!
