1jz head was designed by Yamaha and in my limited knowledge flows better than the RB25 head... but I am sure someone who knows abit more will give you some more specific flow rates

The 2JZ head is also desinged by Yamaha and flows better than a 1JZ by a fair margin. There was rumors going around that the 1JZ head was better but it has been proven to be bullshit.

I remember Sydneykid stating there is not much difference between a RB25 and RB26 head flow wise it the attachments that make the difference vavles etc.

Not sure if this helps but here is a comparison between a 1jz vs rb25 with the same turbo. The RB make a fair bit more power, and the curve does not drop off as much as the 1jz this may suggest that the RB flows better but im no expert on the matter.

HKS PRO-S comparison

cheers

The 1JZ has very conservative cams which would explain the drop off in high RPM performance. Just wind the boost right up and the 1JZ will take it and out power the RB25. 1JZ747 runs mid 10's in a cressida with a stock 1JZ with stock cams but high boost. It makes an insane power level but at a shockingly low RPM. So the turbo comparison doesn't really prove much. Also your link does not seem to work?

... and there's a completely stock internal RB25 that did 10's in an R33 Skyline with a manual. All 4 of the engines are pretty damn good from the factory, especially given how cheap you can get the younger siblings (1JZ, RB25) for.

How many passes did it do before it blew up? :P tic

The 1JZ is without question the best value for money engine you can buy. Costs half as much as a RB25. At the time of purchase my 2JZ cost less than a RB25 from the same importer which is why I picked it.

Uh hang on, why did you post a question if you already know all the answers?

That '25 is still going, there's a big thread about it somewhere on SAU.

No I do not know anything about the actual twin cam RB head flows. Just that the JZ are better value for money IMO. I even posted a link to JZ headflows. But I don't know how this compares to actual tests on RBs. Saying some engine made more power does not prove much since there are too many variables. I was hoping someone tested them side by side.

Great to hear that 10sec RB25 is still going. Top work from the people involved. Got a link to the thread by any chance?

RB26 heads flow more std and have higher potential than 2JZ heads. I know it's a pretty bold statement, and the difference isn't that great (~10cfm) and I'm not going to post scans of flow sheets... you'll just have to trust me on this :P Oddly enough WRX heads flow better than either. I think the stronger bottom end of the 2JZ far outweighs the slight flow advantage the RB26 head has, unless you "invest" alot of moolah into it... which is probably insignificant if you are extracting over 300cfm from the heads.

ive seen a 1jz running 14.5 af ratio's turn 406rwkw on 28 psi with stock engine. still running today.

All it had was a gt3540 82r with 38mm gate hks manifold exaust cooler 2j injectors and a safc.

He dont run it that high every day though lol

So doughboy you have actually seen comparisons of the heads done by the same flowbench operator at the same lifts? I know the JZs have slightly smaller valves, and they seem to have very small exhaust ports but the intake sides look very good.

My brother and I are fitting 2 subaru turbos on his 1JZ and are going to run over 20psi with just a SAFC, 2JZ injectors, fuel pump and pressure reg. Should be interesting :sick: Gona make sure AFR's are in the 12's though >_<

So is this a general info thread?

A Nissan vs Toyota thread?

I dont see much point being this is a Nissan based forum, so who really cares what the 1j or 2j do?

Info on RB head flows is related to skylines is it not? But yeah, I agree the thread did go a bit Nissan VS toyota.

Keep in mind this is a skyline forum any view will be biased. Both are good engines they all have pros and cons, different mods are needed at equal power lvls and its hard to say that one is better then another it all depends on the project and available $$$$

I believe the 1J NA head flows more than the 2J Turbo head. They did this to make it less of a tank on the road.

What if you had a 1J or 2J in your Skyline....I think I read correctly at the top where it says 'Skylines Australia' or is it just Skylines that have RB's fitted Australia?

Open your mind a bit.

I do have a 2JZ in my skyline :(

If its true about NA's flowing more its mainly in the exhaust ports because they are kept small on the turbo engines to give awesome turbo response.

The turbo on the other side was not a problem for me, even though it was my first engine conversion and my first attempt at making an exhaust. If anyone is worried about this and its the reason they don't want to fit a JZ itno their skyline PM me about it.

JZ Skylines FTW :D

I would love a R33 or 34 4 door with a 2JZ. I might do it one day. IMO, Nissan make better cars Toyota make better engines. Give credit where its due I say :yes: I am allowed to think skylines are an awesome car and JZs are an awesome engine. Combine the two for the ultimate I say :)

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
