i hope you guys enjoy it.. and comments are welcome.. its not yet done though..

well, I don't know too much about how expensive toyota parts are, but it would seem reasonable to assume they are a lot cheaper than nissan parts.

But are you also saying that the 1jz is easier to cheaply mod for better performance? Because im sure the RB26 has just as many parts out there to give it the same gain for similar prices, as far as aftermarket goes, just guessing though.

Why do people feel the need to quote the entire post when replying to a large post, particularly when you're the first to reply?

This is a pretty cool project. Props on going the 1JZ route they are brilliant engines and if it were worthwhile transplanting one into my R33 I would.

Eric.. the parts of the 1jz are stronger.. by upgrading just the turbos add a boost controller and fuel reg.. you can actually raise the boost to 1.6bar.. which makes your 1jz engine have 580bhp with stock internals.. the rb26 cant handle that high boost with stock internals..

oh i see... so it offers easier modification while maintaining as much stock parts as possible and it can still withstand all the pressure put on the engine?

Im young and still learning, so bare with me haha.

Thanks for the information :(

not quite - a lot of RB26's run upto 600hp on stock internals, most important thing for any engine is the tune. don't think the stock 1JZ injectors would give you enough head room to push that hp (even with raising the base Fuel Pressure with the FPR).

for instance, I have a setting of 22psi for my RB26 (using HKS GT 2530's). still think the !j conversion will be great though :P

  • 4 months later...

well done man...

and to all aussie guys questioning why he did this - in thailand, malay and phillipines.. the 1JZ is a very cheap and easy to access engine..

RB is a lot more expensive!

CORRECT! :)

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
