hodge Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 If I were you I'd fit a TT head gasket and be done. The last thing you want is to finish the car and fall short because you fitted the wrong gasket. Best be safe than sorry. Feel free to call over for a chat if need be. - - - Updated - - - And fetch some custard slices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Maybe it's worth doing a group buy on some 265 GE cams from somewhere with billets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 If you fit a TT oil pump you can fit the TT crank position sensor and put a cam position sensor on it, and get rid of the old nail of a distributor. What ECU are you running? Are TT valve springs the same as N/A ones on the 2JZ engines, I forget? If not you should use TT ones, for sure. The valves themselves are the same. If you believe that thing REALLY gives a reliable 700 plus BHP you are dreaming, BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) When I go standalone I'm going coils. Much better control over ignition. I wouldn't consider trying to use the dizzy for 600 though people have claimed to do it. Plus do you run a 4-3" reducer on your intake?

hodge Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Yep I'm wanting to change to coils also. Well if your changing to coilpacks, you should be able to use TT cams, but I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 yup they swap straight in. you'd probably be able to use an intake cam as you are, as it's the exhaust cam that uses the dizzy running gear. i've always wanted the awesome lope on idle so was aiming for 272 at least. but i think it's a more sensible idea to stay with 264 as the power band will move too far out of reach and unless you change your rod's it won't be any benifit as your rpm won't have much movement against stock.
