There's no definitive answer on how much boost, torque or horsepower the 2GR engine can withstand but even the Jubu built short block uses the factory forged crank. They replace the factory forged rods and cast pistons with higher strength forged components in both areas.

I'm fortunate to have a gas station that offers 100 at the pump that I can mix with 91 to reach the target 93. There are probably gas stations or other retail options for buying 5 gallon jugs of 100 race gas near you. Have you checked the VP racing fuels and Sunoco retailer locators on their...
There will be a lapse in the recorded dates if you remove the original ECU and replace it with a new ECU for a period of time. There's no way to explain that to the factory so it's better to plan on no engine warranty. For many, that won't matter but best to go in with that expectation.
I'm wondering if Eagle7 received a defective controller. There are some that have been shipped back and replaced. It's definitely worth sharing the logs with Burger to see what he thinks. The results just don't match what we've seen from other installs.
If a 50/50 weight distribution and front engine placement were advantageous, we'd be seeing that configuration in Formula one and we don't.
If you want to improve weight distribution on the Emira, just sit in the drivers seat adding 200 pounds or so forward of the rear axle and consider a...
This is, of course, true for any car. Drag times can be adjusted for elevation using altitude correction factors, which account for the reduced air density at higher altitudes. For example, you can multiply your elapsed time (ET) and miles per hour (MPH) by specific factors based on the...
A mid engined car offers the best compromise across a range of handling dynamics scenarios when a car is in motion. That's why we see it used so extensively in supercars and of course, in Formula one where the only objective is to maximize performance at any cost and there is no concept of...
It's definitely worth cross shopping MWR for anyone interested in going all in. They offer a forged short block with the option of cylinder liners to grow displacement to 3.7 liters. They also offer head porting, a range of valve springs, retainers and a host of other options at much more...
Nice gains! I also live in the Bay Area and would like to schedule a dyno session now that I have installed the JB4. Could you share where you had this done?
Yeah, it's a stretch to call the Raceline a separate model at this stage. I'm sure they'll add more content over time but there isn't much there currently.
They likely won't push
Good cars but far from perfect. I've owned two and while I enjoyed the experience, I think their pricing has reached absurd levels.
