Arh will i trully get an unbiased opinion on this?

how do these 2 engines compare for

1/ The ability to get max HP from a stock block

2/ Durability

3/ Fuel consumption.

I have driven a mildly worked 1JZ and was very impressed with all the above.

I am looking for a light car that has this conversion but they are not plentiful.

there seem to be a lot more RB25s around so I was wondering how they compare.

I realise you will be all toyota lovers here and wanna shoot be for such a heathen question, but maybe there are some out there with the knowledge?

1JZ wins on points 1 and 2... loses on point 3. If you're worried about fuel consumption you shouldn't own a sports car... so therefore 1JZ > RB25 :D

I've seen a couple of AE86's now with 1JZ, but god knows why you'd wanna put such a nice engine into a bucket of rust and bolts. 1JZ swaps into ceffy's are rather common overseas, but locally 1JZ into cressida is king. If you have about $20,000 buy a JZX100 Chaser, if you have about $15,000 buy a JZX90 Mark II, both come with 1JZ's and are fairly nimble.

I know a couple of guys in NSW running 1JZ's in silvia's and the workshop I'm with (driftline in campbellfield) is currently putting a 1JZ into a 180sx ute (roof chop).

no shit... plus you don't need a huge turbo as its a pretty light car... classic looks (no plastic or fibreglass)... add a chin spoiler (old school style) and some wide rims with plenty of dish and your done... all whilst still having enough room in the engine bay to smuggle small Mexican children... or smack... you know whatever floats your boat

zoom did a 1jz 260z...

I would go a 1JZ if i could, i compare the 1J to the rb26, not the rb25 :P torque, bulletproof etc.

I own an RB25, and it is an okay motor, heaps of aftermarket support(where the 1J lacks compared to the 2J) but there is a reason i am pushing my GF to put a 1J in her supra... even the 7M isnt a bad thing*runs*

the AE86s are light where as the chasers are heavy

its all about power to weight ratio.

less weight = more acceseration, braking and corners from a physics point of view.

i know the chaser would be a much nicer drive being new but the lighter car will perform (if setup correctly IE good suspension and brakes) you know what i mean.

Yeah well...

i am going a 1jz with a sigma.. lol early next year so watch out for the stealth GSR.. my mechanic just did a 300kw cresida 1jz conversion the front end lifts off the ground and the rear bar dropps a couple of inches it was great..

AE86 also sports a solid rear axle, piss poor breaks, horrible rear suspension geometry... plus you'd be hard pressed to find an 86 that doesn't creak, groan and shudder like its about to shed panels on you. The chassis twists on most of them more than that rear suspension.

I used to have an AE86 which I was building for track work... with a 160kw CA18DET i'd have the same power to weight ratio as a 300kw GTR. The bloody thing felt like a deathtrap every time I stepped in it even with an 8 point rollcage. Its just antiquated, steering's all oldschool, the shifter's not high up, just little things that add up.

A Sigma, man my Misses had one and at 140/km the car feels like every panel is about to fall off!

I wish you good luck on your project, I hope you get alot of enjoyment and pleasure out of your pride and joy. But what you are proposing would make very entertaining drive and more than likely a car that actually reqires alot of driver skill to control on the track.

I hope you find a engine choice that suits your needs. I look forward to seeing the finished project, because I think been taken for a spin in it would really show off what you are trying to do.

ive owned one VVTi 1JZ, 3 RB25s and 2 RB20DETs.

Go the 1JZ. Good solid power, strong bottom ends.

The RB has the advantage of a good note and loves to rev hard. 1JZ are a little Lazy when revving, and dont like revving too hard anyway, and dont have that RB howl.

Its up to you, they are both good engines, just ones more durable and smoother than the other.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
