1jz or 2jz.....which is better

[180sxbreaker]

right lads i want your opinions and reasons for your choice

what engine would ye pick

1jz or 2jz

[Baz_180]

Apparently the best choice is to get the best from both head of a 1jz and bottom 2jz to give you 1.5jz. The result is suppose to be a torque monster. Theres one in a pink chaser I think he's on here not sure tho

They say this alright better flow in the head of the 1j but monre displacement in the 2j....!

But just take a look at christys yoke...! All his headwork was well worth it....!

stock 2j head actually flows better...... the 1.5j idea is from guys running a 1jz and upgrade the block to 3litre but wanna keep their turbo, mani ecu and wire'n!! saying that a 1jz is known to have more of a rev range than a 2jz.... I'd go for 1j over 2j anyway!!

i must look at his engine setup,,is there a build thread of his rig up here??

keep the views coming lads i wanna hear everyones view

Look min modifed motors lad it has full spec....! Look at nigels car and christys car....! More or less the same stup bar the head work and near 200bhp in the differance....! Dunno whats the story there...!

as nigel said the 1jz has a better rev range..2jz winds out faster
i have driven both and the 1jz sure feels alot better goin up the revs.
maybe the 2jz vvti would be better but there rare and expensive.

most of the 1.5jz engines ive seen have not been too reliable
they are if done right but that costs extra money when not needed...

best getting a 1jz..i sold a lad a 1jz vvti engine in galway he has it fitted
to a 180sx bog standerd engine with a chipped ecu made 320 on the dyno
which is great for a stock engine

the vvti engine makes more power as standerd anyways..i done alot of research before i went with the vvti engine..and it worked out good...have done a full year with the engine and did'nt have to put a spanner too it..it made 620bhp @1.4 bar boost which is great for a stock engine

Getreg 6 speed unbeliveale box but an astonishing price....!

Get onto christy there he'l sort you.....!

And christy this lad who put a 1j in the 180 and made 320....! I really don't see the point in this as he'd get near the same if he bolted a s15 tubby onto his sr......!

Don't see the point in going 1j unless your pushing savage ponies....!
