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. :)

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
