What car is it going in ? S13 ?

1JZ is a good engine but i wouldnt say it owns a 26...

For outright performance they don't "own" an RB26DETT, though they definitely don't embarrass themselves - what makes them a particularly good buy is how cheap they are (at least in NZ) compared to an RB26DETT. They are even quite a lot cheaper than RB25DETs, which they in some respects are a bit better than.

fark another HPI puppet.......

both have merits and drawbacks, that said after building the supra i like the 2j better than rb26, but the differerence is only cubic capacity. Im sure if i got to compare a decent rb30/26 i be back on the fence.

I would say if your engine blows don't put in a second hand motor at all. either rebuild the one you've got, or rebuild an RB26 or a 1JZ. putting in a used second hand motor is not always a recipe for long term happiness.

I'd personally take a 1JZ over a 26 if u wanted to modify it. I explored the avenues os 1JZ, 2JZ or RB25DET for my GTS-X. A manual 1JZ halfcut can be had for cheap but then the fabricating to fit it is about 4 times the cost of the 25 for me. Everything on the 1JZ is backwards compared to the 26 as u probably know. For me to buy a good 25DET and gearbox and everything needed to put it in was 3500..... roughly 1500-2000 so max 5500 to have it installed, wired and finished with new seals and timing belt, water pump etc. 1JZ was about 2500 for everything needed including the halfcut to sell what i didnt need to do the swap but in the end I was looking at 8000 minimum coz I'd need a modded exhaust, completely custom engine and gearbox mounts and crossmember etc, completely custom wire the loom, plenum is over the other side etc etc. If u have the cash and if I had the cash I would have gone 2JZ but the 25 for me was more affordable. I guess ur going to need custom gearbox and engine mounts for either engine so look into it. If your going to mod it a 1JZ or 2JZ would be best if you dont want to touch the inside.

toyota engines are generally stronger, but unmoddified, your unlikely to break either... you start modding, you better keep an eye on the 26... the 1 or 2J though, will be more reliable...

seen it happen all too often...

Go the 1J, just put one in my bro's Cressida, what a weapon, boost is just about instant even with the Auto, i was suitably impressed (well I would be considering I have the no torque RB20 to live with).

That's OK, he will boil the brake and clutch fluid shortly.

:D cheers :D

the only reason i would consider a 1J is because of the cost, and if you were to leave it and not do a forged rebuild.

But if u can afford 26 + forge it...i would go that.

....Now im tempted to buy sum shit box RWD car and throw a 1J in there lol...

      BNR34 identify this connector please

      By bigboss59400 · Posted

      that is correct to be more precise, this sensor goes to a loom which contains only the flat blade single terminal (to connected to this sensor) and then the connector shown in my first post. This loom is tied up to one of engine hairness

      Farewell Neil.....hope the tracks are awesome where you are going

      By Victory · Posted

      This is really sad news to hear and it has taken me a few days to come to grips with the loss of Neil.  Neil was very straight forward and I have always respected his honesty and how he called it how it was.  He was a very knowledgeable man and was always available to provide advice when you needed help to solve a problem because he would have encountered the same issue in the past and could explain how he solved it.  Neil will be missed by many members of the Skyline family.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Dropped the car down to my mates shop on the 19th to get it on the dyno. Ran the motor in and dropped the running in oil and filter and filled it up with some engine oil.  Monday arvo I went down and we got a tune in her. Had a fun time trying to get it to hook up on the rollers. We end up having to roll into the throttle, reaching full throttle at around 6k. Made 23psi on gate then tapered off to 20psi up the top and spat out a healthy 700rwhp.  We had a slight voltage issue which was dropping ecu volts to around 11.8v so we called it quits and on Tuesday I went down and ran a couple of new power feeds to the ECU and DBW relays. Have yet to test it as we were trying to get things sent into the ECU from the TCU over CAN. We've now got oil temp, programme switch and gear position. Still working on gearbox speed, but have been told what to do so hopefully that will sort it. Once we've got speed working, we can start setting up the gear shift cuts and do some clutch adaptations in the TCU.  Should have the majority of it setup this week and go over the tune to see how it is now with the new power wire.  Was slack this time, didnt get any full runs as I was watching the TCU data on the laptop.

      Power Steering Fluid Leaking Consistently

      By silviaz · Posted

      Not until I googled it, now I remember lol. Seems like it's just to clean it up. But it doesn't stop the leak, I have a leak issue though? Thinking whether I need a new bottle, surely not lol.
