Get ARP's number, a fresh head gasket and the proper torque specs out the door and he'll be a very happy camper. |
When he had 600ish whp (the wheels and carbon hood/light covers from this photo shoot are mine now).

And now with 1015whp (920 all turbo with a 100 shot of spray):

More custom stuff than you can shake a stick at. He probably could've built an equal power 2JZ for 1/5th the money.
NESW20: Even with head studs and a MHG, if it was bagged on before it could still surprise him with rod knock. Very oil sensitive motors. That being said, most of the 'rod knock' and 'BHG' problems come from young kids getting them cheap, turning up the boost and ignoring proper maintenance. That white Supra pushed a bit over 600 whp on stock (shot peened) rods with just a forged piston upgrade. Another buddy is bone stock bottom (plus the studs/MHG of course) pushing 530 whp on race gas and 450 whp on water-meth street map and he BAGS on his car. No problems. But they're meticulous about their maintenance. Funny thing is as the 'indestructible' 2JZ is getting cheaper and more kids are installing ebay turbos and not treating them right, there are more stories of broken 2JZs. Go figure...
