Don't bother, use the money to put a single turbo on your 2jz. You'll make more power than with a straight swap, you'll have less piping to mess with, and if you spend a little more on your turbo you'll have something way nicer than the ceramic turbos on the 1jz. When I first decided on a 300 I thought I'd switch it to factory twin turbos but after more research its just not worth it.

maybe so but if they search they will find just as much bad information on the 1jz swap as good.

1jz non vvt-i has got some really crappy turbos, better off just building up your 2jz.

All in all you can make 2jz the same as 1jz right? But then why is 1jz so popular for swaps between a 2j and 1j????

BS brosef. Seriously. Not sure why I care but I'm simply amazed at how lazy people are. No one even wants to read anymore and there are sooooo many people here, like you, who are new too by the way that want to spoon feed all the other new guys.

Dont give me that about bad info. Read it all then ask questions later. dont just say oh please tell me all there is to know about the difrences between 1J and 2J.

Trust me? hehe
Why not just ask questions about SPECIFIC things you did not get from reading all the threads on 1js & 2 js on CL.

Do that instead and you wont catch any flack.

I've been hearing that 1jz could absorb more power and is more reliable but if i would like to upgrade more stuff to the 1j would it be more $$$ then the 2jz?

Look I say this because this is a club of people who put effort, sometimes a lot of effort, in step by step and DIY threads to make it easier on the rest of the community here. Hopefully later down the line when you are able to contribute a thread on something you do, you do a write up and post your pics too for the benefit of the other members. Dont just ignore all the work done by other members here just because you want an answer now and don't want to read.
