marc when you're done spewing your paragraph upon paragraph of close minded opinions...

it was an RB20DE+T setup.

high compression motor. still free revving. still higher torque than DET..

so it still had the torque and only had a small conservative setup for high response and not-much lag...

boost came in at about 2500rpm.. but it still had the torque of the DE head...

it was actually a very fast motor. i would never go standard 20 det. that engine was different.

to summarize. you're dumb.

anyway.. back OT. so. gonna get a lexus GS?

rb20DE are still a pathetic motor. even with a turbo bolted on.

I think the worlds quickest drag Skyline is marginally quicker than the best Supra.

skyline may be a pubic hair faster than the supra (0.02 of a second or something like that), but engine wise there are faster 2jz's than rb's. fastest rb powered car i think is in the low 7's. fastest 2jz powered car is mid 6's.

Sure it's a bigger displacement, but what has the better racing pedigree?

The difference to cars like newish corollas/mazda3s etc is that they feel like the throttle positions are more biassed towards light throttle. I reckon 1/3 throttle in a corolla is really opening the throttle body at 50+%. Cause you barely breathe on the thing and it takes off, but push the pedal further down and bugger all happens.

that more comes down to which car has a better racing pedigree? it would be the GTR because it has the advantage of 4wd. engine wise the 2jz is a better engine in it's stock form. it will handle more power in it's stock form thanks to having forged internals.

With my dad's Corolla 10% throttle is like 50% throttle, so it gives you this false "illusion" that the car has some grunt... mash the paddle all the way to floor & sh*t all happens...

like the time I was on my way to kalgoorlie & was overtaking some 3 trailer semis going about 90km/h, change lanes, floor it 100%, car downshifts to 2nd, eng rev jumps to 5500rpm & makes a horrible buzzing sound, look at my speedo I haven't even gone over 100km/h yet...

it's an auto corolla, what do you expect? lol

Haha, I'm actually off to Sydney this week to pick up another SAU'ers M35....thanks for all your input though!

Good call. They are pure sex on wheels.

they do NOT have forged internals. I have seen a busted 2j piston and they are cast for sure. They will make 450rwkw before you start to get uncomfortable where as a 26 will be around 400rwkw before you start thinking rebuild. The 2j will likely last longer, after spending some time with the supra club up here we have learned that failures are every bit as common for them as they are for the people in our club. The 2j is more power productive and durable but it isnt by as much as people think.

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
