Yes and no. Engineering is all about calculating stress and fatigue limits, and staying within known and reasonable bounds. The guys that design and build bridges and high rise buildings do not bui

Well, I am not a guru but I can tell you straight up a 2JZGTE can handle 600+hp in factory form. An RB26/30 is a purpose built engine and will handle as much as the parts you can afford to put in it.

One of my mates has a mk.4 2jz supra, came from japan pushing 300rwhp and ran a best ET of 12.7 (with slicks).

Another mate has an RB25/30DETT, made 310rwhp @ 10psi but never saw the strip like that. Now makes 494rwhp @ 21psi.

The RB engine at a similar power output felt a bit harsher than the 2JZ but that was probably just turbo combination and the fact that he was only running a rev limit of 5500rpm at that time as it was leaning out.. full boost by 4000rpm and hit the limiter at 5500rpm! Now, I never drove this car with the RB30, only when it had an RB20.

I did however drive the supra around the time the owner ran a 12.7, it felt a hell of a lot smoother and with the sequential turbos starting to boost ~2000rpm, the power delivery felt very linear.

The supra was pretty much factory and the engine came in that car, the RB on the other hand is in a VH commodore.. so it's kinda hard to tell :)

300rwhp without sequential turbo's but using only a stock rb25det turbo the rb30det's make all their boost ~2000rpm. So not really a good comparison.

At what power level (not US dyno power levels but here in AUS) do the 2jz's start bending rods?

I've on occasions visited the supraforums and laughed quite hard how they seem to think rb25/26's and 30's melt pistons. lmao.. Poor tuning melts/breaks pistons. :)

My general feeling is the 2JZ is a slightly stronger motor than the RB30. RB30DET's have reasonable bottom ends, they manage to hold close to 400rwkw providing the tune is good. I have no idea what the 2jz is capable of on an AUS dyno.

as bubba said, factory form 600+ hp as opposed to purpose built rb30det. i have some massive respect for the 2jz. I would even compare a 1jz to a rb26det, as many people do these days.

You dont need a "purpose built" rb30 to make huge power, just look at what Rob from R.I.P.S here in N.Z has done with rb30's, just to name a few, his r32 gts4, rb30det with 100% standard internals and stock r32 rb25de head made 447rwkw and ran a 10.21 @ 134mph and was proven to be very reliable, another r32 gts4 that he built made 400rwkw+ reliably with completly stock internals and also has run numerous 10sec passes.And im sure there a lots more rb30's with stock internals making more power than both of those cars.

the guys how did my engine conversion had a 2jz in his 180sx, there was a write up on it in HPI.. had 430rwkw stock internals only had injectors and manifold turbo combo.. was a total beat ran a 10.54 i beleave

i really love both engines so id be happy to own either one

but if i had to bite the bullet id prob hit up the 2jz

Heavier VL's with their RB30 SOHC's run 10.5's with bolt ons and a shade over 300rwkw. :S

Whats actually wrong with the head?

Small ports/valves?

The port angles/size appear to look ok to me?

Apparently each port has a slightly different design which makes them a nightmare to work on when porting

yea all i was getting at was the fact that the rb30det is basically a purpose built thing and not an origional thing. where as 2j is a factory motor doin the same thing.

1JZ head designed by Yamaha. 2JZ by Toyota......says it all really.

Thats why 1.5 JZ (1JZ head, 2JZ block) would be the best combo for power making!

that's very interesting, i would imagine yamaha would have designed the head for revvvving!

also i believe all forced induction toyotas came with forgies....including 3sgte 4agze etc etc.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
