call your local ricer tuner and find out how much to make a dependable 450 hp at the wheels from a 2JZ. Not on laughing gas on motor.
Howie,I see you have one of those deplorably slow 55AMG's 4.5 second 0-60 must be an eternity
The sc version makes 517ft lbs of torque at 11lbs of boost at 2600 rpm 200 ft lb more at 1500 rpm lower then the 2jz
Add up the simple mods that will make the 2JZ do that
stage 2 2Jz short block capable of handling high boost $7800 fob. |
Ok, class in session:

The MKIV North American Supra made 320bhp. Unless the car loses 30% to the drivetrain (LOL), it most certainly does not make 235rwhp. More like 270rwhp. Furthermore, engines are not rated at RWHP champ.
Now, unlike the 113, the forced induction 2jz GTE can easily get to 500bhp or about 425rwhp with basic mods like increased boost, intake and exhaust.

The 2jz motor is bulletproof and 100% reliable at 450rwhp.
Howie drives a clk55, not an E55, and it is marginally faster. However, the E55 in the 210 body never made it to 60 any faster than 5.2 seconds. More stretching of the truth by ohlord? what a surprise.
Somehow the supercharged 113 comes in again. How about we stick with one motor to argue about. You can't claim the NA 5.5 is so great, and then run to the numbers of the supercharged version when you are getting smacked around. So either pick one or the other.
Finally, the stock toyota shortblock (which can or recently could be purchased for $1800), can easily stand up to 700rwhp easily. Thats about 25lbs of boost.
Now, if you want to talk about control arm bushings and fuel filters, cool. But you don't have a single clue what you're talking about in this thread and it shows.
P.S. WHERE ARE THE PICS AND INFO OF THE MERCEDES CARS YOU'VE BUILT AND RACED IN THE PAST 40 YEARS. I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN ABOUT THAT. RIGHT NOW, IT SEEMS YOU MAKE LOTS OF CLAIMS BUT CAN'T BACK IT UP.
