It’s no secret, we build a lot of 2JZ engines, typically we get quite a few email inquiries for advice that typically start like this

“Do I really need this part for my build”
“So and So said that they don’t have this part and it’s a waste of money”
“I don’t want to do extra machine work to my engine but want to make 1,500hp”

Every now and then the conversion starts with a nice picture like the one below that is worth well more than 1,000 words.

This particular engine was making north of 900hp with a factory shortblock setup, as you can see the factory mains decided they weren’t up to the task and the customers re-build/upgrade will now include a set of our Titan Billet Main caps.

The Titan Motorsports billet main caps are precision machined from high tensile billet steel. We developed these main caps out of necessity for our 2JZ race program and soon found them to be applicable in most street engines. With the increased boost levels seen in single and larger twin turbo setups, the factory crank pushes down on the caps often leading to stress fractures and cracks. The factory main caps were not designed for the forces required when doubling and tripling the factory horsepower and torque levels. These caps are included in our short block and race engine packages and now available separately for those building their own engines.

Titan Motorsports main caps will work with both the 2JZ-GTE engine found in the Supra turbo, as well as the 2JZ-GE engine found in non-turbocharged models. Please keep in mind that a line bore of the mains will need to be completed upon installation of these upgraded main caps. We recommend using brand new ARP Main studs and fresh bearings when installing the Titan Motorsports main caps.

The Texas Invitational is currently one of the nation’s premiere roll racing events for true street cars. A heads up battle takes place on an unprepared runway providing a safe and legal alternative to street/highway racing for those participating. As the name would suggest, Texas Invitational invites premier shops from around the country to Texas in order to see who takes home the King of the Streets and 6-Speed challenge bragging rights. The format is simple, you begin with a rolling start to 60MPH, if both cars are paired equally while crossing a starting beacon a green light is given and the first one to the finish line wins. The finish line is a marked point that features a scoreboard showing the competitors sped through the traps for the audience and fellow competitors to see.

Titan Motorsports brought out Dalton McGuire’s newly completely 1998 Quicksilver Supra for its inaugural trip to TI. The Supra platform has not been competitive at previous events, however Daltons car was built to calm the critics and it quickly did with a 180MPH pass in Friday qualifying placing it in the Top 15 out of 80 competitors. It backed this pass up in Saturday’s last qualifying session yielded a 186MPH run and placing itself as a serious contender in the 6-speed challenge. Dalton’s Supra continued its quick and consistent passes allowing to go rounds in eliminations taking out Vipers, Twin Turbo Lambo’s before losing in the semi-finals to the eventual winner Reza in his Twin Turbo Gallardo.

Even though the car did not win the event, our team was very happy with the semi-final finish in an untested car that proved to not only be fast but also reliable. The majority of people in attendance were impressed with how reliable the platform proved to be given the back to back racing every 10-minutes. This quick turnaround time ensures that minimal service can be conducted between rounds, ensuring that competitors bring a true street car and not a full fledged trailer queen. Dalton’s Titan Motorsports Supra made every round and every call to race and armed with data from a great weekend of racing, the car is ready for the next TI event in October.

Titan Motorsports would also like to thank all the competitors who helped make TI such a successful event with great races : AMS, Blackhorse Turbo Racing, Boost Logic, Calvo Motorsports, Dallas Performance, D3 Performance, Eddie Bello, Heffner Performance, KP Racing, Lethal Performance, Nth Moto, Switzer Performance, T1Race, and Underground Racing.

The Titan Motorsports Nissan GTR performance camshaft kit features a complete set of (4) 276-10.6mm lift camshafts optimized to improve the power band of upgraded VR38 engines. This combination is mild mannered enough for street driving while providing additional performance if utilizing upgraded turbos. The Titan performance camshafts provides a great improvement in mid-range power without sacrificing gains at high RPMs. Depending on your turbocharger choice and supporting upgrades, gains of 25-120HP can be achieved.

This kit has been tested in many VR38s producing well north of 1300hp across the globe. We do suggest upgraded valve springs when using this camshaft kit, however they are not required.

The streets of downtown Celebration were filled with exotic cars and enthusiasts as the annual Celebration Exotic Car Festival took over the small town outside Orlando. The event benefits the Make A Wish foundation and attracts hundreds of exotic and limited cars in addition to Movie cars and celebrities. In addition to Ferraris and Lamborghinis as far as the eye could see, this event also marked the landing of the first McLaren P1 to hit Florida which drew an incredible crowd throughout the day. We proudly displayed our M5 and GTR projects in addition to a fleet of vehicles from the Mac Racing collection which cleaned up the awards ceremony with 8 wins.

We love when customers bring us cars right off the dealership lot, and this Sakhir Orange M5 is no exception. Rocking a paper license plate this car received a complete upgrade including a Full Polished set of COR Performance Wheels, Akrapovic Titanium Exhaust, H&R Lowering Springs, and a hardwired Passport Max radar detector to keep the law at bay. As we continue to develop our own Fire Orange M5 you can bet that this Sakhir Orange edition won’t be following far behind with future upgrades.

The 2014 Titan Motorsports Open House was a huge success, the event went off without a hitch and we couldn’t have asked for a better group of enthusiasts to enjoy the perfect weather and take in some amazing vehicles. Our facility was jam packed the entire day with every available square inch of parking taken up in our parking lot and all of our neighboring complexes. This year we partnered with the Just in Queso Foundation, The Just In Queso Foundation provides aid to local individuals, organizations, and communities in need. With the help of our dedicated fans and local enthusiasts we were able to raise $14,054.00 for a worthy cause.

This event wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our many great vendors and sponsors; Fragola,DBA, ISC, Manley, ARP, Fuel Lab, Mackin, Fidanza, Dei, Gates,Aeromotive, Accell, Cometic, Simpson, Denso, Bosch, Exedy, Royal Purple and E3. We also want to thank the great people at Simply Clean, Lowered Lifestyle, Highway Star, and ILDS for their gracious attendance and help in promoting the event. Tijuana Flats once again donated all of the food for the event and was able to keep the lines flowing throughout the day and make sure no one went hungry.

Were already looking forward to next years event and will work to improve the event as much as possible once again, if you’ve got any suggestions or comments on how the event could be improved, please email them to wes@titanmotorsports.com and we’ll do our best to address them in time for next year.

Mark your calendars, we’ll be hosting our fifth annual open house on March 8th from 10AM-4PM. We’ll be hosting a car show, vendor displays, a dyno shootout and the always popular bikini contest will also be making a return. Freed food will be catered by Tijuana Flats, and as in years past we’ll be donating a portion of proceeds to the Just in Queso Foundation.

The Autosport International show just wrapped up in Birmingham, UK and Titan Motorsports once again had a display in the engineering hall of the convention. The engineering hall is open the first 2 days of the show and is reserved for trade only, allowing a great opportunity for us to meet face to face with our distributors in the UK. The show spans a total of 4 days and unlike its US counterparts allows the public to attend and see the latest in motorsports gear. With many F1 teams calling the United Kingdom home, this is the show where you can expect to see the absolute latest and greatest technologies before they get trickled down into the tuner market. The level of quality of the parts required in these technological marvels truly must be seen in person to appreciate. From entire carbon fiber air boxes for the Bugatti Veyron, to complete billet transmissions for V8 Supercars, there’s something for everyone at Autosport.

Another highlight of the show was the unveiling of the latest SATS Motorsports drift Supra for the 2014 BDC season. We’ve had the pleasure of being a technical partner for the team for many years now and helped supply quite a few parts for the latest build. The team started with a fresh chassis and ground up build for this season and we look forward to seeing great results from the team with Mark Luney behind the wheel. We enjoyed the great hospitality we experience across the pond from our customers and friends and look forward to attending the show again next year and further building these great partnerships.
