WTF calm down!

He said that an RB26 is 400cc smaller than a 2J

Also fow do you have no problems flowing over 1000hp when you havent made 1000hp yet?

A car that makes 510 kw at the wheels thats almost 700hp. Can you convert that to FLYWHEEL ENGINE POWER. Its very close to a 1000 because its going through a automatic tranmission you will need to add about 20% on that drivetrain loss so as you can seethe head is more than capable of FLOWING over a 1000hp. Dont confuse that with rear wheel horspower.

Also as far as me being DAFT i know the RB30 is a single cam head. I just used it as an example as to why people use hybrids.

And saying a head has CC ratings is stupid.

For those who claim a j engine sounds better than an RB, clean ya farken ears out. The j can scream but it cant snarl like an angry rb.

They are both amazing engines and can punch well above their weight. 1000 plus hp is achievable in either camp.

Yes the toyota can be made to handle, there are some fine examples of quick track cars around but you have to throw a shitload more coin at them to achieve it.

Drive what you like, they both outdo the local product by a wide margin but someone should have drowned the tool that designed the supra body.

You said sequential gearbox for starters...but ill leave it there.

yeah yup...a head sure does have cc ratings....

Noel - you are old and your ears cant handle the 1jz scream :P

also the body is fine...the dash is gross...but Id live with it

You may be right Zeb, Even screamer pipes sound like a busted arse to me. The anger of a hot rb on the other hand gives me wood. (or as close as you can get to it at my age)

You obviously dont know my car. If u think im lying head over to The Supraforums and check out the build page.

It has a fully built TOYOTA AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION built by MV automatics, with a spragless stage 3 kit new gears, b&m quick shifter and full manual valve body so it shifts sequentially.

But its still an auto box.

The combustion chamber is measured in CC's....thats part of the head and can play a big role in how an engine performs.

Also port volumes are measured in CC's

Manual Valve bodies in an Auto does not make it a sequential box...its an Auto with a manual valve body :)

Anyway this isnt a thread about A340's so STFU now kthx

The combustion chamber is measured in cc's is it :), Dude u have lost the plot. Anyway, you made it about A340's not me, so as far me shutting up make me. I dare u to try it.

And its not just a manual valve body its a whole gearset.

My god.

No wonder I rarely venture to this part of the forum.

I live an breathe engines...so you go ahead and keep being incorrect and pulling your dick over your "sequential auto box" and I'll go on my merry way.

+1

Thread delivers teh lulz. For the record most incarnations of 1.5jz come about when a 1jz powered vehicle has a 2jz bottom end bolted on to stroke it out 500cc. You'll seldom see it done the other way around, starting with a 2jz powered vehicle - only reason I can think of is that 1jz heads are probably cheaper...

As for the 26 head on a 30.....well that makes you sound rather daft.

RB26 head has 2 cams, 4 valves/cylinder solid lifters etc compared to the RB30 head which is SOHC 2 valve and hydraulic lifters

Well you'd put the 26 head on a 30 bottom end rather than a 26 head on an 30 head. A head on a head wouldn't make much power mate. :)

Alright Captain Ahab,

Before you go on, go do some reading, because obviously you don't know what your f**king talking about.

Come back, apologize to zebra, and then apologize to the world for 'trying' to race a yacht.

Back On topic.

Personally not a fan of the sound of the J engine, have heard a few nice ones though, its all swings and roundabouts.

There are one or two very nice handling Supras, but , well that's my point there are one or two LOL.

And Birds if your going to the expense and trouble of building a hybrid, you wouldn't leave a worse performing head on it.

    • Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again  
    • The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p
    • On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.
    • So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
