yeah I have been told there are some fairly substaintial gains that can be had from SR20DET heads being ported. The first thing i did with my built motor was to get 1mm oversized exhaust valves which would help a little in the flow department - as I was too scared to lose any low down torque from major head porting lol...

Thanks once again for your help Daniel...

sydney kid, you never cease to amaze me with the shit that comes out of your brain and onto this forum.

Strangely enough some of the stuff that you post doesn’t amaze me at all

MPH is a direct result of power, there are other measures but MPH is a bloody good measurable realisitc measure, circuit times and ets aren't.

I know that you know its average power to weight not max power on its own. Why do you persist in promoting something that is so obviously wrong?

fact remains, its a known fact toyota engines JZ series will take far more power for far longer periods of time than RB engines. that is fact.

That’s you opinion not a fact, JZ’s cost more to make the same power as RB26’s. We have had this discussion before, whether I spend $1K on stronger rods or $1K on an inlet manifold is irrelevant, it still costs $1K to fix the problem. Your problem is you think not spending money on the inside of an JZ somehow makes it superior even though you spend more on the outside fixing the JZ’s shortcomings in that area.

one of the main reason i built my car was to go race GTST's and flog there arse

I have looked long and hard at the ANDRA Sport Compact Records and I can’t find one JZ at the top of any list. A couple of RB’s though. I have also had a look at the HPI Radial challenge and I can’t find one JZ at the top of that list either. A few RB’s on top there as well.

but its people like you SK that make all other skyline haters hate skyline owners. many toyota guys get on this forum

The problem is I currently work on more Toyotas at race meetings than I do Skylines at the moment. Perhaps that’s the problem.

i apologise ahead of time if my comments have offended anyone.

Eh, a bit of venting never hurt anybody, as long as it is done in the right spirit. Plus it would be a very boring forum if we all agreed with each other all of the time.

:dry: cheers :D

How does VVT give larger CFM readings? AKAIK on RB's, SR's and 2J's the VVT doesn't activate a third inlet valve, change the port size, manipulate runner size or length, or do anything other than change the lobe center on the camshaft.

Edit: Also your flow readings.. are they an average? What lift? What pressure? What measuring equipment?

ok the name calling and bickering stops now. this thread has great info in it, but it's not a debate on whether or not mph=power, or is rb more reliable than jz or does jz power faster cars than rb or whatever.

i'm inclined generally to just let things run their course but the fighting is wrecking and diluting the thread. I'm not singling anyone out, but the next person to start up with the arguing will cop a warning. everyone in this argument has had their say now, so lets just leave it be.

any questions on flow of RB vs JZ heads etc or info is welcome of course. :dry: so bearing that in mind lets continue shall we?

Strangely enough some of the stuff that you post doesn’t amaze me at all

I know that you know its average power to weight not max power on its own. Why do you persist in promoting something that is so obviously wrong?

So 2 cars, equal weight, trans, driver, suspension etc. One has 450rwhp from 4000rpm to 7000rpm. Another has 550rwhp from 5500-7000rpm. Are you telling me that the 450rwhp car will out trap the 550rwhp car?

That’s you opinion not a fact, JZ’s cost more to make the same power as RB26’s. We have had this discussion before, whether I spend $1K on stronger rods or $1K on an inlet manifold is irrelevant, it still costs $1K to fix the problem. Your problem is you think not spending money on the inside of an JZ somehow makes it superior even though you spend more on the outside fixing the JZ’s shortcomings in that area.

Difference is that the RB rods are a necessity wheras the stock inlet manifold on a 1 or 2jz or fine unless you are wanting to squeeze every last HP out of your engine and you want to push the torque curve higher up the rev range.

I have looked long and hard at the ANDRA Sport Compact Records and I can’t find one JZ at the top of any list. A couple of RB’s though.

4wd vs RWD on street tyres. Hmm... :)

I have also had a look at the HPI Radial challenge and I can’t find one JZ at the top of that list either. A few RB’s on top there as well.
Negative it seems.

Carlos: 10.04@150mph. 2.23 60 ft.

am i writing in invisible ink?

edit: in case I wasn't clear debating about things unrelated to RBvsJZ heads and flow figures etc is going to stop. you are now just debating the same point over and over. if you want to argue the toss with sydneykid pm him and do so.

As for flow numbers here they are:

Rb26 (std) Inlet: 148cfm Ex: 105cfm

Rb25 (std) Inlet: 136cfm Ex: 98cfm

2JZ (std) Inlet: 139cfm Ex:121cfm

1JZ (std) Inlet: 134cfm Ex: 115cfm

very interesting figures there

also note that the 2J has a lift of 8.61/8.79mm while the 26 im pretty sure is only 8.1/8.2mm??

also, a guy in the the states flowed the 2J and 1J heads and got significantly higher figures than that!!

was done at 400lift (10.16mm) but not sure at what inches of water it was done at tho

his figures read:

std 2J as follows

238@400lift intake

154@400lift exhaust

std 1J

215@400 intake

133@400 exhaust

your 2J figures give a percentage of 87% while his gives 64.7%

granted his tests are done at alot more lift which will give a higher reading

cheers

Just dug this thread up. I didn't expect to actually find any more decent info, just more bullshit!

Thanks Daniel for providing the figures. Very interesting. :)

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
