Only the crankshaft and the block can for certain. In the 2jz-ge, the connecting rods, pistons and the entire head are all different. I would not assume or tell anyone else that those parts are good to 1000hp if I wasn't sure...and I'm definitely not sure at all. In fact, I really doubt it.

To me, the entire n/a Supra is a just a poor de-tuned shadow copy of a TT. I've been very consistent with this advice: If you want the performance of a TT, then sell your n/a and get a TT. You'll save a lot of money. Nearly everything in an n/a except the body itself is a de-tuned, much weaker version of what you'd get in the TT. In other words, it's not just the 2jz-ge pistons, connecting rods, and head that sucks...it's the entire braking system and the rest of the driveline (transmission and differential), ecu, ignition system, suspension, etc., etc.. *shrug* The n/a is a paper tiger...it's just for show. If you want to tell folks you have a Supra and impress girls that know nothing about cars, your n/a will do the job just fine. If you want to go fast and stop fast, safely, sell your n/a and get a TT. Just mho.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
