1jz r154 > 2jzge w58

I meant 2jzgte

w58 will not last long with the 2jzgte if your power hungry.

W58 is good for 350hp maybe a little more. If you plan to go all out 500+ then you might as well go R154

but isn't it better that you have the 2j powerplant?? and in an sc can you change the tranny without removing the engine?? or would it be easier to pull the whole damn thing?? and can you "*****-foot" 400whp on a w58??

1jzgte r154 or 2jzgte r154 or na-t r154, in the long run it will cost you more money with the trans, so save yaself time and money.

I agree with 1jz/R154. Sucks to worry about your trans every time you slam a gear and dump the clutch. I dont think the 2jz has enough advantage over the 1jz to worry about until you are at power levels that the R154 wont support anyways..

but "there is no replacement for displacment" right 3.0 vs 2.5

I wouldn't slam gears in a r154 but thats just me.

A BPU 2j on stock twins will put down 400+ which would cover my goal with an SC or MK3 supra and leave room for improvement. Thats why I like the idea of a 2j.

I guess you could say that. The question is, would 600-700hp be enough for you? If so, there is no reason a 1JZ wont get you there just as easily as a 2J. I would worry less about engine and more about tranny.

This is definitely true if you can find some USDM twins and fuel to support them.

Engine and tranny are mutually exclusive. Get whatever you can afford and deal within your constraints.

With that being said, your best bet is to first select the R154 transmission and then figure what you can afford, 1JZ or 2JZ. That simple. Both motors can get you into W58 implosion territory.

Find a MKIV owner thats going single, you could probably pick'em up for $100-$300 just depends.

W58 & serious power don't even belong in the same sentence.
