re power with 1jzte

[prado_boon]

Fix it with genuine Toyota head. It'll last you another 300+k's

second that. Fix it with genuine, get at least 2.5" exhaust from dump pipe out, get an egt gauge, bypass egr, external trans cooler, remove internal trans cooler, 4 core radiator with larger fin spacing to reduce clogging(optional), intercool if you can be bothered and you should have an awesome engine. Love my 1kz!

+1 to Genuine, however we have sold many after market heads too and had no issues to date, but if you are towing or wheeling I would recommend Genuine. We have a bare genuine head with head set and head bolts in stock if you are interested. PM or give us a call for info.

Cheers,

Daniel

Do they sell just the dump pipe?

ie it bolts up to standard exhaust?
