By stock internals, yes, I mean the head never lifted off. Stock pistons, rods, cams, valves, bearings, etc.
It's not easy or cheap to make 900 rwhp by any means on a stock internal 2JZ, but it can, and has, been done.

Skunks, go give your V8 debates to any race prepped FD. The 13B can weigh significantly less when w/o all the bullshit that comes on it stock.

Just for quick reference.....My FD: $10k
Her FD: $4500
her paint:$3500
her Volk GT-Ns:$2500
her Sparco seats:$1000
my Volk SE-37A's:$2500
AEM:$1800 w/all new sensors
PFC:$1200
(2) Apexi intercoolers: $2200
(2) Fluidyne radiators: $1000
That's just $30k right there and that's nothing!
You can see where this is going very quickly right? It's just outta control and picking up speed!

I'd like to point out to some people that getting the 2JZ to accept 900rwhp stock is about a $20k minimum. Also....i'm a little confused about the term "stock". When you lift the head off a car isn't that now modified? I thought that "stock" meant untouched internals. The cams, porting and thicker headgaskets aren't classified as "stock" are they? That's always been such a grey area to me.
Those kind of stories are the ones you read in the magazines and on the internet from the new companies promoting themselves. It's good promotion......but very misleading except for the people that know

Thats VERY true. A lot of times they throw in the ultimately confusing "virtually". "This car is making 700hp on a virtually stock motor." If you don't really read into it then you think no cams, no valve springs , etc. Virtually stock makes it seem like the only way that its not stock is if you've done something to the crank, rods, pistons, etc.
virtually - adv.
1. In fact or to all purposes; practically: "The city was virtually paralyzed by the transit strike."
2. Almost but not quite; nearly: “Virtually everyone gets a headache now and then”
-www.dictionary.com
It's the second one that gets me. "Almost stock but not quite stock"....who defined this word? Thats why that word makes everything vague. It's a trick to hide the truth from the fools.
