Yes it is a dud story. FJ24 was the original beast, specifically built for rallying.
If they built an FJ40DET I am ure we would all have thir pics on our desktop :-) Interesting that it was mentioned JUN use sleeves in the SR to get big HP. You are nuts if you try and get 400+ out of any aluminium block without bore and sleeve work. The beauty of sleeves is you can reduce bore flex at 8000+RPM by going thicker (at the expense of reducing cooling efficiency of course) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 5 December 2001 1:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: FJ20 - max power *groan* I've heard that urban myth a few times.
