TORSPD: NEVR

No kidding. I always say, that if I ever have to build another Toyota engine, it will be the 2RZ or the 3RZ.

 

Theres a guy selling a fully built twin turbo 2JZ for a couple grand in the local craigslist. I had to do alot chin stroking before deciding it was too early for a midlife crisis and Id rather drop a V8 in later lol

 

Great minds think alike.

 

That would have made for a totally different beast. I have seen an older model 4x4 Toyota truck with one swapped in. Mudding through some off road path.

 

That they do.

 

Yeah buddy, I was considering it, but I'd much rather go for higher displacement when I do an engine swap down the road. LS swap sounds better and better every time I say it

 

Oil

Good video. Provides some considerations to take into account when selecting a motor oil for a particular application.

Based upon my professional experience, I like & agree with what he said about detergent vs solvent based fuel additives.

One thing that I wish he expanded upon was his comment about octane boosters.

 

Only a select few work. They aren't cheap. VP Racing makes one which does.

It would have been nice to hear those thoughts as well.

 

You know there's someone out there, who will hear that the auto parts store junk that brings 93 octane to 93.1, would buy an entire barrel of it for a track day, and try to run straight booster.

 

If you want a real octane booster, use pure alkylate.

Boom.

Lol.

 

Is what you said the same as "H"? Pyschotic Petrol head's nirvana?

They'd be a true innovator.

 

Lol not quite. The only uses I knew for hydrazine before reading that article was for rocket fuel and, in very low amounts, oxygen scavengers for boiler systems. Bad stuff right there.

Alkylate is what an Alkalization Unit produces to blend in with gasoline to boost octane. It has a very high octane number and is highly combustible.

 

Ahh
Thank you.

 

The Isom unit that detonated at BP Texas City eleven years ago produced feedstock for an Alky unit if that tells you anything.

Like I said: boom.

 

Buddies of mine were saying throw some reformate in to your truck, the shit is definitely over 100 octane, and they said your truck would drive like a bat out of hell, right up until the engine exploded lol

 

Lol yeah I've heard that too.

Kinda makes you wonder if one of the old timers tried it. Someone, somewhere...

These are the same guys who used to wash their hands in benzene.

 

Hahah yeah. All the old timers tell stories that make your head hurt sometimes they judt didn't know better back in the day. The road that runs down the middle of our refinery used to be public, I've heard stories of drag racing, drugs, drinking on shift, parties, strippers, everything lol. Hey, keep on making gas, we don't care what you do

 

ive been told many a story when people see my cavalier about a fabled 100 shot of nitrous that makes a cavalier destroy mustangs and corvettes right up until the engine explodes. then you went to the junkyard and for $100 you had a new engine and did it all again.
