1jz_2gz or 2JZ-GTE VVT-i which engine is easier to put in a 1992 toyota Soarer I have 1jz but want to go newer engine or keep my 1jz what you guys think i should do

 

rb26dett

wut?

 

What is wrong with your current engine?

There is nothing wrong with TT 1j. Be happy with what you've got dude.

If you want. Install a new turbo kit on it. Run higher boost. And replace the ecu capacitors... It will run like a brand new car if you do.

But for god sake why do an engine conversion...

If you must, do a 1j vvti... Personally I see nothing with the tt

 

Get a single turbo kit and a good tune, and if thats not good enough, 1.5jz.

or k20 swap ?

 

1.5j into TT soarer is pain in the backside cos mounts are for 1j not 2j

So basically 1.5j is easy when car is made to have a 2j bottom end...


I would personally recommend the vvti 1j

But even that is a difficult swap afaik

Why would you go rb26dett??

Like why go to soooo much ridiculous effort to custom fit in a foreign manufacturers engine to go from a parallel TT 2.5ltr to a parallel TT 2.6ltr?

Makes no sense to me

 

i was joking maybe?

 

dude, keep your 1j and go single...by that i mean turbo, so don't go trying to divorce your wife or leave your g/f.

 

If you were starting with a 2jz-ge, the 2jz-gte would definitely be the better of the two options. But if you already have a 1jz, no sense ripping it out as there's still plenty of power on tap. Single your 1j, go with like a 6262 BB with billet wheel for spool. You'll love it.

 

Dude keep the 1jz and go single. unless you got like money to throw around then I would go with the 2jzgte + v160.

 

forget about the swap just ship me any TT engine you got and I will make room for it....

 

1jz with a single turbo with a good amount of boost would be awesome.

 

Not even single...

Here in Australia my friend tristan at WTFauto makes twin turbo kits for the 1j

Sequential bb turbo kits I might add

^^^rooks rike dat. You rike it?

Imagine that size twin turbos on a 1j...

Stick THAT in your thread and read it.

And lookEVO - don't joke.. Someone has done a 26 into a soarer man..

In fact smokey nagata put an rb26dett into a supra...


Most unique swap I seen into a z30 soarer is the 20b quad rotor twin turbo... By those crazy loveable idiots at carshop eau rouge...

 

Just give your 1JZ a refresh, new seals etc. larger single turbo and the rest of it.
