it still costs more to build a 2Jz than it does the build the VQ with the same parts...



i love taking any motor and putting it in some place it doesnt belong...

no i read it correctly....

I am not talking about your post....I am asking if $21k is cheaper than a possible VQ build. He paid over $20k for that swap. I am trying to help you out....I understand what you are arguing...20k is alot of dinero, so what could I do to a VQ for 20k? And how would that 20k VQ build compare to his swap?

Did you all forget everything that came off the car did that magically disappeared.

And about the track ill run aj at the track once i learn how to drive the car but you still dont get it this car is not being built for 1/4 is being built for highway. If i wanted a 1/4 mile swap i would have put in a terminator engine on turbo with an auto trans and a solid rear. But thats not what i wanted out of the car. I dont care how quick the car is i just care about the top end it AJ's car can beat me all day at the 1/4. rolling is where i care.

Quit changing what you said. You specifically said that "you do not want to go toe to toe...". Don't speak for others.. hell I talked to Jeremy from PF today and we kinda laughed about how this whole situation is escelating.


How would have someone have more ***** than someone else in that manner ? If you are a good tuner and know the limits of the motor you will put the same amount of "*****" in no matter what you are doing or tuning. Sorry.. there are no cheat codes you can punch into a AEM or E11 or Motec that will give you a edge while tuning. You are not going to cheat physics and chemistry Doug. Two good tuners will have very similar outcomes taking a motor to its edge while tuning. I am sure PF does that well, and I know I do that well. Popping motors is not cool. No matter which way you look at it Doug.

let me explain it to you again.. more ***** in a sense you are tuning a customers car.. AJ works in a shop.. you don't care to blow up your customers car.. AJ could care less if his motor blows.. in fact he has already done it for fun.. which means they have more ***** than you in regards to both of the cars in question..

there are no cheat codes.. but one tuner can tune more aggresively than another.. i am pretty sure you are not going to tune your customers car aggressive.. while PF can add timing all the want because they could care less

Wow. This was actually a cool thread until it got crapped all over by the needless flame fest... Doug, why don't you take the drama back over to the FI forum? You'll notice AJ hasn't even posted here and he was the other guy racing...

all right I'm out.. this is getting lame... Since Doug seems to know everything about everyone, from who owns what to how I tune, arguing is redundant.

I will post pics / dyno / run vids when we are completely finished. Thanks for following the build up to everyone that enjoyed it and I promise a nice compilation of the above !

Excuse my ignorance, but could you hold down a bike for a sub-8 sec quarter mile? I am probably wrong in assuming this is next to impossible, and if so, please take the time to address my mistake
