I've been thinking... How much power can the stock 1mz rods handle?
As I have long roads of saving before investing in pauter rods, I figure a good stepping stone into driving a high hp car, is to go gradual anyways. I don't have any intentions of buying a bunch of parts over a two year span, and dumping an extra 250 horses into him overnight, (as that would be completely irresponsible, me and Camryn would surely meet our timely demises in a firery blaze wrapped around a tree) I shall do this gradually. I've read somewhere the stock rods can handle about 300hp at the flywheel. That's about like 4psi for a 1mz?
I figured i would do low cost/ mid cost supporting mods that will get me close to where we want for now. I'm thinking 300 should be enough.
For now. I also want the stock auto trans to be able to handle it for a while. You guys all know I want a manual, but my wife refuses to drive one. (He is her dd as well, which is why he He doesn't go hard much, she drives more.) And well, I love my wife more than driving lol.
But one day.
Any ideas on a low cost boost setup that the u140e and stock rods can handle? 4-5 psi, correct me if I'm wrong lol.
Eventually, as I've said before he will get bigger valves (they don't seal well), full exhaust, maybe the 2mz intake cam and 3mz exhaust cam... If I can find some to fit, roller lifters, stiffer valve springs.500cc 2is injectors, a walbro 190, cheap fpr.. Porting... Pretty soon some new rod bearings...
I've pondered running coolant lines to wrap around the intake, but come to the conclusion that that's stupid. Lol.
I may post some pics so I can do a before and after.. Or day by day rather lol.
But like I said for now, an easy (maybe not to achieve lol) 280-300 at the crank.
Unless: can the stock trans handle any power whatsoever above stock?
How much can it handle, on occasion?
And fwiw I plan on doing his suspension and tires before he reaches any hp gains, yano, for responsibility reasons.
