[@altonb93]

You will get 99% of debris out of an intake or intercooler, especially an intercooler. You can spray with air and flush with water but you will have a piece(s) stuck inside almost always. It may stay stuck in the intercooler forever and be just fine or it may get unlodged and go through the engine. Always replace the intercooler or play russian roulette everytime you do a pass

[@mbdulka]

OEM block with Darton sleeves will do more than the stock block without going full billet ... should work on that platform now. And 1st! :P

at 10:55. Btw the guys at Bain Racing in AUS always do chamber reshapes. They weld the damaged spot of cylinder heads and completely reshape it though both hand and CNC porting. They also it with intake and exhaust chambers.

[@jagharingenyoutube]

Reshaped heads are not unusual. But like he said, welding an original cast head makes it weaker. They are pushing it pretty hard.

[@gruntymunky4082]

you all should hate this man. hes the reason we are having issues sourcing 2j parts and heads. this derp right here blowing up everything every other run. this derp should have switched to billet years ago with his negligent spraying.

[@alouisschafer7212]

Its amazing to think about it though: If treated carefully and with no NOS just 30-40 psi of boost, good AFR a stock 2JZ block with beefed up internals can easily make reliable 1000+hp. Pushing all the way to 1600hp on NOS aswell is the point of failure then.

[@technology42069]

whaty are those horizontal scratches on the rod bearings??

[@Lifeat90]

As a long term jz owner factory blocks have seen 2500 hp.street duties.they will peel open at 75 psi.its tuning that's hurting it.its been done and done.jzs built on a engine stand is a big problem.

Time to try out the new Dart block? Oops there it was at 3:20. I thought they were out! dang. Talking about oil aeration and dry sump systems, what do you think about the Dailey Engineering oil/air separator that goes between the scavenge pumps and tank?

[@lennixsingh626]

oil air separators are normally for r35's because they dont have a baffle system built into the valve covers

[@slfrules1]

i mean one of these guys that sort out the scavenged oil rather than crank case separation. It does blow by separation as well tho. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3vbfoGZfbepprc talks about it around 1:20. I'm no expert of dry sumps but it seems like most just send foam back to a baffle tank and hope it'll settle. I've used the last bit of oil from an air pressurized bulk oil system enough that i don't trust baffles to do jack all about air milkshake. Also I don't know jack all about the hydrodynamics of a pressure pump to know how much sending in 20% nothing vs 5% changes what comes out. Seems like 15% density but sometimes ish isn't intuitive.

[@lennixsingh626]

@@slfrules1 yeah it does, that the point of the product. but engines like 2j's and RB's don't need or use one because they have built in baffle systems in the cam covers. All the bad oil then goes into a catch can.

[@slfrules1]

yea i know about those but a dry sump shouldn't have a pcv system or a catch can. I'm talking about a separator for the scavenged oil before it goes into the sump tank. Between scavenge pumps and the tank.

[@artieclapham4148]

Stuff can get wedged really well inside an intercooler. They need cleaning really well or sometimes replacing if contaminated.

[@96SupraTT]

The 2JZ billet block is stronger (new with no mystery history), but it's not impervious to mishaps caused by an obsolete ecu's lack of sensors and controls. Also, since this isn't a street car anymore, consider if having a full wet block is necessary. None of the other MKIV heavy hitters run full wet regardless of what they tell you. Been that way for at least 15 years in my experience. Put the billet block money towards a modern ECU, otherwise this will happen again. I wouldn't run an AEM v2 (or even Infinity) on a BPU Supra.

[@stephanbrown2728]

Genuine question... I notice the Toyota oil filter. What oil viscosity is this engine running, and what is the micron rating on that filter? Any restriction on the oil flow through the filter? All bearings and journal surfaces appear to be living happily so I would assume no issue there but just curious.

[@rcravincase]

Any time i see a failure with metal in the air handling, the cooler gets replaced. If the customer declines, they have to sign a waiver that there is no warranty and the cooler gets cleaned

[@ACougarHunter]

I guess I’m the only one who missed the ultimate cause of the failure. Was it the debris in the intake that caused damage in the combustion chamber, which then allowed water to enter the engine? Or was it something else?

[@BalticSupraRacing]

Exceed the power levels of the factory block. Car saw around 2000hp and the block gave out
