Default An Import that can be appreciated

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/a...330037730a.htm

Fully built 408 start up

Oil pressure is to low for my liking but may just be the gauge and the smoke in the video is steam off the header wrap.

The picture posted above is a 2JZ motor. The RB20s are ok the RB25 and RB26 are much better though. My roommate use to own a 400 whp RB25 so they can be just as fast.

There will be. Im having low oil pressure issue right now but Im hoping it just the gauge. Im not driving the car and the motor has less than a min idle time on it so If it is oil pump issue I shouldnt have an damage issues.

Well found out Im going to have to take the trans off the back of the motor to see if we installed the plunger like plastic piece in the back timing cover which keeps the oil pressure up.
