PTUNING Competition 2AZ-FE Short Block (Spec-SS)
PTUNING Competition 2AZ-FE Short Block (Spec-SS): $2474.95
Due to overwhelming requests, we have decided to release a second, more-affordable version of our PTUNING competition short block for forced-induction Scion tC. This premium competition engine package includes all the high-end competition engine components used in our Spec-A block, but without sleeving the block. This short block package is designed for those looking to build a moderately boosted, 400+ whp motor.
The block is fully blue-printed and machined on an RMC 4-axis CNC maching center. To allow for a more reliable higher revving engine, we fully balance the entire rotating assembly and to help free up horsepower and increase oiling to the bottom-end and cylinder head, we eliminated the factory balancer-shaft assembly. All clearances and tolerances are blue-printed to our spec.
Steps we take to build your block:
Cleaning:
- Inpect the block for cracks and other damages to ensure that we're starting with a sound core.
- Prep the block for baking to stress relieve the block and remove all traces of oil and coolant build-up.
- Bead blast the block and lower block half to remove any loose material and give the block a clean, new finish.
- Hot tank and bake the block and lower block half to thoroughly clean and stress-relieve the block.
Machining:
- Blue-printed machine work is performed on a precison RMC 4-axis CNC engine machining center.
- Bore cylinder sleeves to spec for CP pistons.
- Chamfer top cylinder bore edge to ease piston ring installation.
- Square deck the block to a mirror RA finish necessary for proper MLS gasket sealing.
Honing:
- Install 2az-fe-specific billet honing torque plate. Plate is torque using the same head studs or head bolt that will be installed on the motor to mimick the cylinder head torqued onto the block. This allows the honing machine to create a perfect cylindrical bore without taper or distortion when the head is bolted to the block.
- Diamond-hone the block on a precision Sunnen diamond-honing machine.
- Final plateau-hone the cylinders to an RA finish in the mid teens. This is an extra step that we perform to create an ideal cylinder surface finish as specified by the piston ring manufacturers. This procedure significantly reduces the break-in period required to properly seat the rings. This is critical procedure, especially for a race engine where you don't have the option of driving the car for 500-1000miles to seat the rings.
Align Bore:
- Install main caps and torque to spec using main studs or main bolts that will be installed on the motor.
- Align bore the main journal to spec for ACL Race Series bearing.
Balance Rotating Assembly:
- Clean and Inspect factory forged crank.
- Remove counter-balance drive gear.
- Tap & plug oil feed to balancer-shaft and eliminate balancer-shaft assembly.
- Micro-polish crank journal.
- Precision balance crank. FYI, balacing within 1-2 grams is considered race worthy. We go to the extra effort of balancing the crank down to a tenth of a gram from end to end.
- Balance connecting rod set to within half a gram.
- Balance piston set to within half a gram.
Short Block Assembly:
- All components of the short block are given a final cleaning prior to assembly
- Mic and set clearances on connecting rod journal bearings to spec--using precision mic and bore gauge.
- Mic and set clearances on main journal bearings to spec--using precision mic and bore gauge.
- Check thrust bearing/crank end-play.
- Gap piston rings to spec.
- Install piston and rods and torque rod bolts to spec using stretch gauge.
- Install new factory main seals.
- Install and seal new front and rear oil galley frost plugs.
Engine Components Included:
- CP Pistons (89.0mm Bore (.5mm over), 9.0:1 C/R)
- K1 Technologies H-Beam Connecting Rods.
- ACL Race Series Main Bearings.
- ACL Race Series Rod Bearings.
- ACL Thrust Bearings.
- OEM Rear Main Seal.
Engine Components Optional (Highly recommended):
- Ptuning Competition ARP2000 Head Studs. (Add $162.95)
- Ptuning Competition ARP2000 Main Studs. (Add $147.95)
Notes:
- Price is based on customer providing disassembled short block with only bare block, crank, main caps, main bolts.
- Price does not include core charge. Core charge for block is $1000, refunded upon receipt of rebuildable core.
- Price does not include shipping. Parts will be ship via UPS or Freight, depending on weight.
- Average three week turnaround time, from the time we receive the block to the time we ship it back to the customer.

im just lookin for reliable power at 15lbs with this setup.
This is within my "willing to spend" range so im def going back and having them do it without a doubt.
do u guys think that for 15lbs i will need new injectors? im on 550 now so would an upgrade to 700 be good?
also u guys think i can keep my stock fuel delivery system like the rail and pump

As toan mentioned, running more boost with your current turbo is going to net you more low-end torque, but there's not enough flow with your turbo to run 15 lbs at max power/redline unless you want to pump a lot of hot air at the top end, which will necessitate race fuel or at least WMI.

Lets see:
my tC: 16,800
Turbo kit with all odds n ends(gauges..etc) 6000
Spec-SS: 2400
Install: im ballparking 1500
Tune 500+
for ~$28,000 you can have a 400whp MONSTER tC that will own 95% of the cars out there.
all this and it still costs less than a bone stock 265whp 370z LOL FTW

This block includes our Ptuning main studs and of course i would also use our Ptuning head studs for the long block.

^haha werd!!
and Mr.C..thanks for taking the time on Saturday afternoon to show me both short blocks that your offering..it really cleared up alot of questions I had regarding motor builds.
Ill def be in contact with you soon...I already spoke to Mike about labor.
