Long Travel BS Thread

Will do. Thanks.

 

What tranny? .... I eventually want to swap a 2J into my first gen

 

"2JZ engine, no shit. This will decimate all AFTER you put about fifteen grand in it, or more, and if we have to, overnight parts from Japan."

 

Or Turbo 2TR

 

We are sorting that right now

Lots of manual trans options but because of my injuries I have to have an auto (sadly)

 

Yeah we are looking at the build list right now, luckily we have plenty of time (for now) to work the build out.
The truck will be completely built around actually being used and beat on (like I already do, which is why shit keeps breaking) but we (envy Motorsports) are planning to have it all done by sema 2018. But we'll see

 

Is that Kanye in the corner? Hahaha

 

I believe it's Nas aka NOS, you gonna put some spray in this mofo

 

Nah aiming for strong reliable power

May put a tiny turbo on it but even that's a super big maybe

 

I suggest the turbo, I had a IS300 with the 2JZ VVTI for a while and my second gen was much faster with the TRD supercharger. For the weight of the car it moved fine with all of its about 200 hp/torque, but to move a truck I think it might be laking some power unless you get a good trans that doesn't rob too much power and gear accordingly.

 

Why not just ls swap it? Gunna cost the same

 

Got any pics of the rear getting torn apart? Curious on how its eating itself.

 

Curious as well. There's drop in kits from 350-1000hp basically ready to go.

Though after borrowing a friends tundra over the weekend to tow a trailer, I was damn impressed with the 5.7 in that. I'd put the s/c on that and keep it Toyota if I end up blowing mine and debating an engine swap. But for now I'm hoping not to blow up anything lol. I'm happy with the s/c and our little 4L v6

 

I don't have any pictures at the moment

I am rather retarded and both times the rear end has been inspected I just kinda get super mad and see red and forget to take pictures

Kinda shitty a truck with 25k on the odo already has a trashed rear end and it typically pisses me off since Toyota will warranty it but only if I return all the mounting locations for it back to stock first

Which obviously I can't do

 

Cause everyone and their brother LS swaps their trucks. Just kinda wanna be a bit different. And I've always been in love with 2JZ's
And I think the 600hp we are aiming for will do just fine for my needs

 

There’s a reason LS engines are in a lot o trucks... they are the LEGO’s of engines...have you seen prerunners? Every single one out rollin around is completely different from each other.

It’s your money tho, so rock on

 

Refer to my second reasoning then.
I really love that engine.

And the same argument can be made of drift/race cars
People put LS and 2JZ motors in everything
Both motors are super popular
But the LS is more available and easy since 500 jim bobs already did it before.

Nothing wrong with an LS though and we may end up going that route if the 2J build sheet ends up being too much of an issue

But for now
I'm aiming for 2JZ with 600whp

Cause
2J's are sexy

 

Since your going through all this trouble... u want to leave a little +2 kit on there?
If your paying a shop to build a truck might as well just go for it

 

Yeah that's kind of my current Delima.

Do I go wider for the extra travel ability? And potentially lose my ability to drive safely down backroads I enjoy.

Or do I stay limited with a +2 kit and keep my ability to drive on 99% of roads I like here in the woods haha

We can't always be offroad and when I can't I like to drive old backroads and a lot of them are pretty narrow
