I read in the new modified mag that the tc has a forged crankshaft. Can anybody validate this.

ive heard this as well, not only in modified but elsewhere....i cant remember right now but ill post it if i can find it

the 2AZ FE engine has a forged crankshaft with 5 journals and 8 weights.

It's hard to find a cast Toyota crank these days.

 

[ND120883]

differences between the two?

 

[iGod]

strength. forged cranks are stronger.

Now if only they only would use forged pistons and rods we would be set.

if toyota was serious about making a true "supercharged version" u might be able to hope for forged internals. Most manufacturers use forged internals on forced induction models, however as long as it is the standard 2az with a bolt on kit dont hold ur breath

Toyota builds the strongest engines of any manufacturer bar none. They consistently over-engineer their engines so that the owner can at least DOUBLE the rated output with all stock internals before being concerned about the strength of the OEM pieces. Ask JMS001, he's doing the turbo kit, and he's already publicly stated the OEM pistons and rods are good for MORE than twice the rated output, the same is true of the 2JZ-GE, 2JZ-GTE, and 3S-GTE. The strength of Toyco OEM internals is legendary among import engine builders.

The very LEAST of your worries is strength of the internals. Quit BS'ing about things you don't know anything about.

I never said the internals werent strong, I know toyota builds great engines. He asked QUOTE

and i told him what the deal was, plain and simple.

I'm not BS'ing about anything I "dont" know anything about, so go stick it!

Who you think you is?

in the technical forums? god. and because the question Ryan'sTc used to start this thread has been answered correctly, this thread serves no purpose.
except to become a "my dad can beat up your dad" contest. and i say no. so, we are done on this thread.

^^^ works for me.
