Congratulations and continued success Vic in all your endeavors. You are one of the most competitive person I've ever met and you remain humble as the day I met you. Thanks for all you have done for the community and race scene.
I really appreciate Vic's dedication to the scene as well as to his customers. So many questions we have when upgrading performance and it seems that his team is willing to go the extra mile to contribute to a successful customer build. When I relo from Jersey down to Florida, will definitely hit up IP for help on my ride.
It was always an excellent motor they were making over 1000hp 20+ years ago when dart started supplying there own 2jz blocks and now with billet they're even faster
LOL the B58 is a very capable engine and already making over 1000BHP your comment shows how in reality stupid you are and not very technically minded, the JZ has 20 years on the B58 and still the b58 is already on its toes and chasing, If you still believe the JZ is a better engine then your living in a wonder land.
Bro wtf xD check how stock g series m3 can take. 2jz was nice engine but m50 fuck his ass. All what 2jz can pffer is overhype made by ff movie. M50/b58/s55/s58 and many many more is kicking 2jz ass
Bullshit! you need more mods for a b58 to make 1500hp...compared to a 2j and they can't even make 1600hp or 1700hp with being sleeved and all the shit you have to do to it for cylinder head seal integrity... , b58 will never compare to a 2j in making power... you are delusional guy
The fact that we’re comparing a 30 year old platform/engine to a modern engine that needed several technical updates just goes to show you who the goat is
Vic is a cool dude. Stopped by the shop to drop off my engine from Texas. Had a good experience and they have a lot of knowledge, that made my decision very easy.
10:40 That's how we were in the 90's.. There wasn't any internet and people weren't afraid to lose.. It was all fun either way.. It was all mostly local stuff but it was fun and safe.. It was basically a few guy's from one town racing guys the next town over and stuff like that.. But it was all safe We went to back roads where no one lived. But we didn't have social media back then that didn't really come around until the mid 2000's.. But now I feel like there's a time and a place for everything so when I get someone in a fast car next to me, I just let them go most of the time. Anyway I am older now and don't really care for street racing anymore. But I was young and get it. The older you get the more you just want to baby your cars and chill..
Yeah, the 2JZ is a good platform. In fact, it's such a popular platform that I believe real Street had teamed up with dart and now they have a iron block for the 2JZ
2jz is still better, but for 80% of ppl, the b58 /s58 does all you need 95% of the time anyway. by the time you get into 2jz money you might as well get a gen 1 gtr and buy a sheptrans
@@Bootchairas a former mechanic and salesman. I just decided a 2004 Is300 forged 2jz build with a 400.00 local long block 2JZ GE VVTI block does the trick. Car weighs like 3,250lbs before turbo catch cans etc. financing 44k-100k b58/s58 car is pointless to me. If I did have 50k down for a car it’s none of those cars anyway.
@Bootchair Holy fuk. So true. My buddies knows a couple of people with outrageous lease payments on their M3s and 330is. But ya, building a 2jz is a money pit
My boy had a induction build 1116whp usually ran on map3/4 .. literally only lost to a civic n evo 10 roll racing … All bikes got beat !!! All fun runs ! Miss that e85 smell 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Back in the day, I saw someone lock in a race... no stips. They went home and swapped a turbo kit off another honda. Within a few hours they showed up to the spot turbo'ed. Back in the day was wild
Bro PRP has developed a new cast block for the RB and new heads too! And they want to race in America! And they’re also going to do the 4G63 as well. This year and next year I can’t wait to see how much they move forward in drag! Also billet RB30X is a cross between a RB30 and a 2JZ!
Man, I am feeling this podcast Victor got me feeling nostalgic on the old highways in Houston. I miss hanging out at the shop, getting some fuel then a highway run...20 years ago....
The 2JZ is definitely EOL. The airflow of the head and the small amount of bearing surface gives it a ceiling that is much lower than people think. . It was an amazing lump of iron, but time has passed it by.
Titan motorsports was the Goat back in the late 90s- 2000s they are still breaking records with 2jz-b58s. I think a few months ago they broke the world record for fastest A90 interview those guys
I’ve had never met victor at all , but I had done business with his partner before many times with alpha till this time , but it’s good to see the success this has made in life , good to see this guys doing well in life and doing more , keep up the good work victor
SHOTS!! 🔫🔫🎆🎆 This episode has me excited!! I am a VIC fan now. Race or don't talk. If I lose fine but best believe I will be back so don't back out when I come to clap back! Gentleman's challenge. Respectful but competitive. As long as everyone is having fun and is safe than that's a win for everyone really. I cant wait to see what you show everyone man.
I wonder if Vic or any of the current Bradenton scene was part or aware of the Need2Speed era in the early 2000s. There was a great forum and they posted videos of fast cars often. Great times
All this Supra talk, but the Lexus sc300/400 never get any recognition. The SC’s grandfathered the Supra…so sick of people believing the Supra came first.

A Hilux/ early Pickup with a 2JZ powering all four wheels like a GMC Syclone sounds like fun recipe for street digs considering the 4wd's factory 2,920lb curb weight (79-83).

Victor is a lot younger than me but his explanation of street racing sounds like the late 90’s in my area if u had a 11 sec car and a car that made 1hp per ci you had a hot rod. Yea there was nitrous but no turbo stuff. It was the old school thinking of No replacement for displacement
Tukes man appreciate the cast loving the guys (no Diddy) you have on. I'm thinking of moving soon and looking at all elements a car guy can go and enjoy his craft.
Back in the day people were smart enough not to post shit online and didn’t tell everyone and have 500 spectators. If you wanted to race you didn’t want trouble or to worry about that shit so you go race.
As a B58 owner much respect to the 2JZ but Toyota trusted the b58 for a reason. We gonna stand on business and give the B58 its just do. How can you hate we’re in the 7s already without needing over 1400whp

Florida is the place to go for racing on the east coast.. No inspection you can pull you cats and it's all good there.. Thats where you go if you are building a race car and a TH-cam channel for sure..
The first 2j to crack 1000whp without nitrous was in 07. The last production year for the 2j and 16 years after production start. The b58 cracked 1000 whp in 2019 just 4 years after production started. There’s ppl running 1000whp unopened motor. Yes technology is more advanced now but it cracked that mark in a quarter of the time. Give the b58 just 5 more years and see what it’s going to become. Not saying it’s better or not btw.
