hey guys im looking for wat ever help i can get i live in antgua and i have a lexus IS200 and it is not working at the moment because it had spund bearing i rebulit the engine with a crank rods and pistons out of a 1G-GTE engine with not much luck now one of the pistons has a hole in it i cant make no sesne of it wat do you think is my best option at this point should i try and sorce the parts to fix it or wat i see a couple guys with forged rods and pistons where can i get these i guess they are custom parts if i am doing it sould i get a forged crank to pleas help me source these parts if possible
thanks louie abbott

2JZ GTE

Elliot --- chap got the right engine..........

thanks for replying guys the would be my first choice if i had that option but sadly i cant get that engine here and the cost to bing one in would be astronomical any other ideas?

actually id say a 1jz-gte

can you not get another 1g-gte

does anyone know how strong the con rods from the 1G-GTE are are they good to run high boost with a set of forged pistons ?
cuz as i already have them i could just get a set of forged pistons made and get the car running

Standard 1g-gte block is good for around 1.2bar of boost from an average size turbo (T28 etc etc)

Do we have dyno results of 1G-GTE and 1JZ-GTE modified IS-Models?

Performance would be interesting of those engines...

Ok thats interesting i would like to know know the power outputs. How much more than 1.2bar would it be able to run with the stock con rods and a set of forged pistons any ideas just a ball park figure?
So you think it would be a good build as i have almost everything in my garage except the pistons and a computer?
