Praise or flames, tell me what you think. I am currently building this setup for a mild 700rwhp, and my new setup which is a 2.9l 4cyl (stroked 3rzfe) goal will be a whopping 900rwhp


Thanks Al

out of curiosity, why even deal with a 2.9L 4 cylinder? The internal loads could be much better dealt with using a 6 cylinder. The 1mz could easily be used, and you could get higher numbers with some work methinks... unless there is something terribly wrong with their heads... there's gotta be a better solution...

I am using the 2.9l to be different. And to still stay in the 4 cyl class for the street tire competition next year. Also the 3rzfe oil pan is shallwer than the 3s which allows me to lower the motor 3in, so that I can run single jointed Axles. Theres a whole bunch of reasons I chose this way. Right now I am working on getting a 1mz into a mk1 and a 4uz into a mkiv supra. Just to be different. Thinking of shoving a q45 motor into a 240....

Its gonna be a street/show/race car. I have many sponsors (Bomex, Bride, NX, etc...) that requested that I do a trunk mount since its more appealing to look at. SO I decided to do it this way because its more aeshthitically pleasing and should be more effecient than any other trunk mount I have seen. ONly unforseen problem is DRAG.... But I am working on a diffuser to fix that.

does lowering the motor change any of the suspension geometery? Namly bumpsteer since it's supposed to be setup for drag... you better try to eliminate some if not all of it...
