Toyota OEM cranks are some of the best available. Billet cranks
are nice and allow very high revs but the crank is not the limiting factor with the 4age and in your case the limiting factor would be the ecu then the cams, rod bolts and rods then lastly the crank.
Will you be using TVIS with your big port head ?
What inlet system do you expect to use ?
Realistically you are looking at a maximum of 160hp with the stock
ecu and that is only if the engine is put together just right, 140hp
is more likely.
Consider that the stock bigport made approximately 130hp and the smallport 140hp

Yes block and cylinder head (bigport) are brand new. But unfortunetelly except these parts I have almost nothing, just 4ac laying on ground + megan racing engine mounts and koyo radiator. So now I plan to buy used rwd intake manifold (16v) and use it without the tvis plate. Probably will go for 264 cams. and stock bluetop ecu. So seems like I must just order all parts from toyota except the camshafts. Also would you recommend me to buy supertech valve kit? ( double valve springs,retainers,valves,etc.) cause if not I will need to buy standart parts from more expensive price. ( because my cylinder head is completely empty )
