not being smart at all... just you were saying you want 400+hp and are thinking of a swap... i know i'd be looking at a 26 :P

i have personally made up my mind on what my motor is going to consist of and its going to be an abortion of RB and Brian crower stroker parts and a turbo the size of a garbage can so i can have about 1500rpms of usable power, however, within that 1500rpms my asshole will pucker every single time. retard style. mmmmmmmmmmBWA(oh shit!) pssht <shift>

i still love the idea of a 1J though, espcecially the single turbo vvti one. the technology is much newer than the RB, which, i love to death, however, it truly is a CA18 with a couple more cylinders.

if C&Y can do it for reasonable money and you want to be different then by all means do it. consider going for a 1.5JZ very popular with the drifters I've been out with around tokyo/chiba/further out. though they were mostly still at home in big toyota sedans and probably looking at 600ps for the meanest one. but they put them to good use on the mountain roads, industrial areas and circuits for drifting. :P and they sound awesome coming down the mountains, but not really any sweeter to my ear than a nicely done RB...

Younger brother runs the twin turbo version of the 1JZ in his 83 Celica Supra. Those turbo's may be tiny.....but lordy does is develop some useable torque - awesome street engine especially in a 1280kg car....and literally screams to the redline.

Only mod is running twin dump pipes of the turbo's and integrate them into the 3 inch exhaust under the car.

with that being said, the "team toyo" drift car, not kawabatas, but kuroi's, is running a 1J that he pulled a RB25 out to put in.

anyone running one in an R chassis car?

Originally ran a Rb26 not a 25 and yes it was running a toyota jz... now back to rb26 apparentley.... i heard he did not like the resistance to want to rev.... said it felt truck ish.

Don't under rate the 1JZ or even the 2JZ they are very strong motors right from the factory.

They don't have problems with oil control or coil packs and take a huge amount of thrashing

In America they have had 2JZ run 9 sec quarter miles with stock internals and thats with

reliability.I have driven a std 1JZ supra and R33 and the toyota was a lot quicker they make

around 370Nm at about 3000rpm now thats not bad.I have also driven a 600hp GTR which

was awesome but it took an awefully large amount of money to do it reliable.

jz series are good but there not the motors people make out to be, Yes there strong but some people seem to obsess saying there is nothing wrong with them and never get probs - well yes they do get probs. There stronger than a RB25 and faster in stock form, but there not the godsend people make them out to be. There also very heavy, heaver than all the RB motors.

If you have a 25 dont bother but like you said if your motor does die a $800 buck one would be great especially if it has VVTI.

    • You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster. 
    • Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!
    • That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect 
    • i cant get them all in 1 screenshot unfortunately as i just dont know how to move things around tbh, but they are all from the same log and the line crosses at the same point for all of them
    • It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
