Rb Head Vs Jz Head


Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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. :)

Which makes a comparison impossible.

    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models?
