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 :)

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
