The second leg of my J series journey...my race built J35A8

I dont post media much, so here is a video and some random pics since my 2007 J35A8 TL-S 6MT build commenced in January!

Currently running J32 small chamber heads with race port and polish, 3 & 5 angle valve jobs, titanium spings/retainers, J35A8 rockers, 13.5:1 CR on decked heads, Bisimoto Stage II cams, Megasquirt V3.

Big changes coming soon! HUGE cams

Car looks great, and those brakes

One question, why do you have 04-06 headlights?

I took those from my first TL...they are rare CDM headlights and I am in love with the amber DRL's, clear corners, and integrated fogs

I think I may have a video clip where I attached the gopro to trunk lid and captured some exhaust sound. The problem was always the wind noise...there was nothing you can really do except buy an external mic setup for it. I'll take a look and post it if I kept

I work for Dunlop's parent company and I love that tire. There is a new successor to them out now...A-MAZING. Oh...and those cars...they practically COULD have been considered still at that speed

Thanks man...more to come. The biggest cams ever put on a J-series should be at my doorstep within weeks! Should be t*ts!

I have no idea what my buddies were doing, lol

Nice work GERZAND! What type of power did the Bisimoto cams add? And what numbers did you dyno at? Very curious on what Bisi can do with a Jmotor

Its very hard to tell what the cams did for this setup, since there is such a high amount of other work done. What IS know is that the cams made 30horse/40lb/ft on a stock block J32A3 and this high compression (hybrid top end/bottom) & race ported setup made 340/292 with the same cam.

So i guess look for 30 horse on a base model

Anyone that wants these in their TL-S can run them on stock ECU...sometimes throwing a random misfire code due to cam noise through the block. I cant speak for the stage II on a base model though. Bisimoto also recommends valvesprings/retainers....or J35A8 TL-S/RL springs (my personal insight for thise with a 04-08 base model and on a budget)

WOW! Thats some awesome numbers And atleast you can run the stageI without raising compression! Are you using and adjustable cam sprocket? if so I didint know they made these for our cars? And 340 on an all motor setup thats insane! Awesome work too bad you werent here on the West Coast I would definitly get some work done with you! Thanks for the info

mount the gopro on the back of the trunk, not the top...it takes some trial and error, but there is a low pressure area there where the wind doesn't really get to it
