Destroyed my 2JZ Engine AGAIN... STORY TIME! - 800HP LEXUS GS300 DRIFTING & MORE

[@bigzlowered]

This might be the only time in history where I can confidently say.... this wasnt Hert's fault.

[@leonnottingham4618]

It’s always Hertz fault

[@alanlansdell7533]

Well that's an unexpected plot twist...... It wasn't Hert!

[@the.ghost.behind.u]

Johnny at HLSS will get it sorted tho. He's a good dude n highly respected in the GS community. I'm getting most of my front suspension from them n also my SC handbrake conversion from them.

[@suburbanant]

@@leonnottingham4618 It's always Suppy's fault.

Should've listened to Mike that work on the 2j was trash I already knew it was miggy that ruined that motor

Hertrech Eugene Jr GOD DAMN!! I just came here to congratulate you (again) on keeping your content so authenticly genuine and real. The world needs this content, but if you make me cry one more time with emotionally charged references like paint matched cars with undiscovered posthumous easter eggs in the boot!!!!! This one got me worse than watching your boys face light up with joy showing off his k swapped truck. Never Stop!! Love always ♥

[@bryan_turner]

Long or short, we love to see your videos. Your editing style and humor always makes me laugh. I'm sorry you've been screwed by bad machinists! Hopefully this time will be better!

this car is sick and i hope it comes back together well, jz is life. love that haltech limiter!!

[@the.ghost.behind.u]

46min GS300 video. Thank you Hert lol. Im actually like 2 jobs away from buying a PowerDynamix built 2jz 800hp shortblock with Manley rods, Wiseco pistons, full ARP everything (mains, rod bolts n hardware, headstuds etc) fully machined blueprinted etc n ill be using my GE vvti head with BC valves, springs n retainers, 264 cams, shes going to be a 650+hp monster but ill probably keep it around 600hp just for reliability n longevity sake

[@the.ghost.behind.u]

Also for in the future Hert, PowerDynamix offers a fully built 2jz shortblock with everything I listed including the block itself for $5300 (GE vvti block w/crankshaft all machine work, pistons rods bearings n cross drilled n tapped for oil drain etc) if you ever just want to get a hell of an engine block for a great price already fully machined PROPERLY

[@dirty2jz283]

You are a good candidate for that new Dart 2JZ Cast Block in your life. Love the uploads, hope to see more.

[@kiingeli7545]

Hert would blow that uo too 😂

[@paullennox4981]

Feel for you but sounds like you're in the right place and fair play for not bashing the previous people who worked on it even though they might deserve it and for anyone who reads this always try doing your homework on who you have work on your pride and joy is always cheaper in the long run paying the right people and no job worth rushing costs more eventually.

Thanks for watching!

[@shifty1927]

As someone with a 1000whp sedan (e36 328) i love the GS. I will say the car was more enjoyable when it was making 6-700whp on the stock engine. Car was built 15+ years ago though so 1000whp wasn't that manageable back then. Was the 1st making that type of power so it was unknown territory. It was used for drag instead of drift. Still full interior heated leather seats and ac. I need to update the car with modern parts and tuning. Wild how outdated most of the parts on the car are.

[@chaseteter]

My built and sleeved GSR motor is on its second sleeve and rebuild in a year. It sat at GE for 8 months and they had issues with turnaround time so they sent it to JBR in FL and they have had it for about 8 moths. Crazy downtime and money. Seeing this is a good reminder it’s just part of the game, great post and I love to see you putting Atlanta on.

[@TheRealStoner420]

Ahhh remember when the gs was just a black vip auto 😅. My goals in life is to go full send like Hert while maintaining the family life lol goals fr 👌🏾

For what it's worth, personally, I enjoy seeing car scenes and odds are those are cars I'll never see, you get to see different flavors. Being from Seattle this is super awesome! Also enjoy seeing tech sessions and behind the scenes. Seeing Gtecknic do a detail would be cool, always love seeing others processes. More car scene stuff though Hert! Definitely dig that. You could do a Build breakdown of peoples builds and that could be a couple videos a month. Coulda broke it down into 2 videos one with the meet and other with the car stuff.

Crap! That sucks Hurt! So sorry Man! I guess the good news is, you are in good hands now, and from this point forward, you will have a reliable legit motor you can count on. It would have only been a matter of time before that motor would have shit the bed in short order. Not only that, the Dudes at the shop will get all of the other issues sorted. These guys are winners! They don't F around. P.S. You are a serious Wheel Man, Son! The way you were getting that Lexus around that track was 100% Badass! Well done! I hope to see more of that content in the future! Stay safe Man!
