If I remember correctly, the Newer 2JZ-GE engines have the problem with the rods (~2000 and up I think)...
DaveH ran a 9.78 1/4 mile on his NA-T MKIV w/ a TH400 tranny.
Again, DaveH makes a TT style intake manifold for around 700 bucks.
Might wanna let ethan banks know that -- he built a 1000 HP SC... Built NA-T
I'd take boost logic kit (www.boostlogic.com) for ~$3999 that has a tubular manifold made out of 341 SS.
A BPU TT will put out 450 RWHP on average, it will also run the 1/4 in about 12 seconds.
NA-T can be cheaper if you're smart about the parts you buy, but finding a deal on a donor MKIV 6spd TT will win out... your stock tranny will go after 450 (the 5speed W58 is a time bomb) and the open differential just has to go...
Either plan on 300-350 HP for 5k, or look for a wrecked TT that you can pick apart, because the driveline isn't going to hold up well at all.
...or combine the two and plan on NA-T w/ a thicker head gasket in a built tranny (if you're an auto) or a 6 speed donor if you've got a 5 speed.
Either way, it's not cheap.
