If you can't be bothered looking through one thread, why should people be bothered to help? Not being harsh but it'd be quicker to look there yourself than wait for a reply.

The answer though is no you can't use the ST185 pistons, 2JZ ones will need machining and the rods will need machining to fit the factory pistons. All on the first page of the FAQ on turbos I'm pretty sure.

No need to 'look through' all the threads, search function works best!

So when you put a 3sgte piston in the altezza block with the altezza head on it, you get only very minor lowering in the compression. when i measured it with gen3 3sgte pistons, it lowered to 11.2:1 compression.

The ST185 rods aren't a straight drop in either, you'd need to shave a little off the sides to fit the inside of the piston.

2JZGTE need machining on the skirts to suit the squirters and inside of piston to suit the rods
Contacting me for parts
