I guess that's why my mom (serious cook) has a lot of all-clad pots and pans. Makes too much sense I don't even know what to do with it

Maybe graphite foam or laminated graphene frying pans.... Super high thermal conductivity and fast thermal transient response because of it..

Ok, once I get back to a real computer And not my phone I'll try to find all the forums I've read online about all the ge vs. GTE builds and debates between the two

alls i got to say is you really need to re-consider that power goal. that is alot of power for a street car, especially for someone whose never driven something with that power. id suggest starting smaller, and building up to it. for your safety, and others on the road. build the engine to support that power, but start with a smaller turbo, then upgrade as you grow into the car and learn to control it.

Yeah, 850 is a big number for a street/show car. There's really no need to have that much power in something that will never see track usage, other than to say "my car makes 850 to the tire"

I mean, that's why he wants it.

450-500 would be a much better goal IMO. It could even hook up in the summer

You know what they say. What's the difference between a 900 HP Supra and a 600 HP Supra?




























































...about .2 seconds in the quarter.

Truthfully speaking yes,

IIRC there is absolutely no difference in rod length between the GE and the GTE, if that were the case the GTE would have a different displacement due to the stroke of the piston.

It's very common for people to swap GTE internals into the GE, and achieve 400-550 comfortably.

Your weak link is going to be the transmission. If you're lucky enough and have a 89+ mk3 supra you already have the best transmission unless you want to put out 5500 for a v160/161 supra TT transmission.

I will warn you that being a part of the 2jz club is rather expensive.......

Everywhere.
