Eps there is no limit to your gayness, that hypocrisy wasn't even funny.

You can make big power with a 25 too you know :blink:

Oh for sure, I'm in the process of doing it myself...but it was so easy and reliable with the 1JZ. Didn't need half the supporting mods to back it up.

Oh for sure, I'm in the process of doing it myself...but it was so easy and reliable with the 1JZ. Didn't need half the supporting mods to back it up.

That's where its cheaper for the 1J, bottom end is bullet proof unlike the Rb25 over @ 300RwKw, 1J injectors good for @250 RwKw - Rb25 runout by 200Rwkw, the manual toyota box is a bit how ya going shift wise (R154) but plenty around behind 2J cars so definately strong enough. Dump pipes for the factory twins are a challenge, but I made 2 x 2.5" ones for my Cressida and got them to fit around the steering, so it is all doable. 1J for the win, they are a great motor. :down:

Agree 100%. R154 is great for drag racing...you can give it hell but my mother earned herself something of a damaged shoulder from driving the car. It's an R series box, big brother of the R150 and R151. There's a bloke in melbourne doing single turbo conversions on Soarers, quite reliably so I've heard and the results are pretty awesome with minimal supporting mods.

The biggest pain in the ass with the 1JZ in any vehicle (but particularly Soarer because it sits back in the engine bay) is playing around with the rear-most turbo. Just installing a bleed valve is hand hurty.

2JZ half cuts / long engines command much more money than 1JZ.

I prefer the feel of the RB25 personally...it's a much more responsive engine; feels more fun to drive than the 1JZ and much easier to work on.

But if you're chasing big power and something different, the 1JZ is where it's at. Very torquey engines that just seem to pull and pull at any speed in any gear as long as you are on boost. They are very strong in the bottom end and never feel like you're killing them when you take them to redline. But off boost they are quite laggy due to the twin turbo setup. They have heavy ass flywheels and they sound like vacuum cleaners.

1JZ's do NOT sound like vacuum cleaners.... I had a JZA70 with twin high mount HKS turbos with dual pods (no AFM to worry about), PFC and supporting mods and it sounded f**king insane. Had this tough deep sound til about 4k when all hell broke loose. They rev out like you wouldn't believe even with completely standard internals. I ran this setup on 20 psi on pump fuel as a daily driver for a year with no problems.

Even with a pod and exhaust they sound pretty angry....

Also, the twin turbo 1J's are not all that more laggy than the single turbo vvti 1J's. It is not a difference like 2500rpm compared to 4000rpm with the twins like posted above. With a decent twin dump setup, free flowing exhaust and a pod I'd say it would be every but as responsive as an RB25 with similar mods. The oem twin turbos are also capable of 230-240KW at the wheels (with supporting mods) which is considerably higher than what the single turbo on the vvti motor is capable of.

yes but i'd also like to add that birds can die in a fire

and then i'd further like to add that peak power output or not regardless - the VVTI in the single creates twice the amount of torque than the twin, that's a common known fact - the driving style of the engine is completely different - power peak HP or not - the VVTI is a faster engine... regardless of numbers on paper - pound for pound vvti 1J is king

by saying vvti 1J i REALLY mean birds

and by saying king i mean

gay.

Now I dont think non VVT's are crap but.....

1JZ GTE - 363 NM @ 4800

VVTi - 379 NM @ 2400

RB25NEO - 362 @ 3200

Interesting fact is that the twin turbo 1jz's are actually quicker down the quarter in standardish trim (i.e. exhaust, intake and fmic) as was found out on jzx100.com. Use to be on there fairly often and found a thread about it apparently it's because the twin turbo's are actually a bit better in top end. The same result was found over many many drag days although a contributing factory could be the jzx100 weighing a fair bit more than the jzx90 although i do not think the weight difference is all that much

i'd have to say they sound more like cows than vaccum cleaners.

seriously there is a few that used to always turn up to motorkhanas and they both sounded like cows mooing when they take off. and the other ones in town sound similar, but not quite as bovine like.

also what lets toyota down with when it comes to their cars is the interior. the dash on the soarer and the supra are the 2 sole reasons i would never own one.

soarers are nice marc you prince of gayness (Eps is king LOLZ OH NO HE DI-DN'T!)

people who whinge about gearboxes are always fags, try driving a VX SS T56 gearbox THEN compare it to everything else.

Also hamish (can I call you mi mi?), i think that we have got the hint that you have 300rwkw, I assume genuine Garrett housings and not a hypergear or HPIAB setup?

lol, yeah, i do have but that's not how i got there... that's just probably the cheapest and best option at the moment....

i have an hks 2835 pro s, nismo intank pump and a few other things here and there :)

greddy rb26 ex cam gear...

you can smash 300 out of 'em if you reeeeeally wanna (bombtrack is getting 297rwkw with drop in cams on a DD in shoot6)

but i cut all my tunes at the point of diminishing return, which in this case was 285/323 :thumbsup:

lol, i'm not getting a 3076... it was a reference to nytsky and myself chatting on the previous page about 300 being easy from an rb25

i was simply putting down a short list of what would be required to get there

:thumbsup:

i'm running 18psi btw

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
