Alright Captain Ahab,

Before you go on, go do some reading, because obviously you don't know what your f**king talking about.

Come back, apologize to zebra, and then apologize to the world for 'trying' to race a yacht.

Back On topic.

Personally not a fan of the sound of the J engine, have heard a few nice ones though, its all swings and roundabouts.

There are one or two very nice handling Supras, but , well that's my point there are one or two LOL.

And Birds if your going to the expense and trouble of building a hybrid, you wouldn't leave a worse performing head on it.

:D

the 2jz have a totally different exhaust note to the 1j and any rb. 1j and rb sound very much the same and are impossible to disinguish between. i have absolutely no idea why. people use the word "gurble" to describe the 2jz note. the supra gurble. i have heard that supras have pressure inside the cam covers. not 100% bout this but that would add to the sound.

It's really not that expensive if your car already has the 2jz bottom end in it. The biggest expense in a 1.5jz conversion is getting a 2jz block to fit in a 1jz engine bay...engine sits up much higher. As has been said, the difference between a 1jz head and 2jz head is very minor...

A car that makes 510 kw at the wheels thats almost 700hp. Can you convert that to FLYWHEEL ENGINE POWER. Its very close to a 1000 because its going through a automatic tranmission you will need to add about 20% on that drivetrain loss so as you can seethe head is more than capable of FLOWING over a 1000hp. Dont confuse that with rear wheel horspower.

Also as far as me being DAFT i know the RB30 is a single cam head. I just used it as an example as to why people use hybrids.

And saying a head has CC ratings is stupid.

We only recently had another yarn about using solid percentages for drivetrain losses. If your transmission was sucking up 300hp (<<what you're saying) it would be melting by final gear. I know of at least one thread with pages of debate over it, and apparently there are more here as well.

But in relation to car/engine point scoring, here's how it works for me: MY car gives ME a hard on knowing it's sitting in MY driveway. I drive MY car around and I feel good. I take MY car around corners, and that feels good to ME as well.. My point is, I don't care what anyone else thinks. If that mattered so much, I'd be driving a VE SS with 20" black and chrome rims. << And swallowing the vomit in my mouth everytime I see it in the driveway.

If personality wasn't a factor, there would be one manufacturer out there making 5 cars. A small hatch, a sedan, a ute, a wagon, and a 4x4. All in the same colour.

Disagree there. The RB's do sound different to the JZ, totally different note. Listen to a 26 and then a 25, they sound different, even the 32GTR's sound different to the 34GTR's, let alone a 1JZ. Unless you may be tone deaf lol. I did hear an xr6 turbo once that sounded like a big jap RB engine though.......

The only thing in common is the firing order, number of cylinders, twin cams etc.

Types of metal used, Port shape, combustion chamber shape, turbo, exhaust, manifolds, tuning and cams is what gives an engine it's noise signature.

i shud have been clearer. i mean if they all had a single with tuned length mani. my xr6t used to sound like shit, but when i got a 6boost it sounded awesome. but a supra with a single will always sound different. my xr sounds just like an angry rb. LOTS of lift with the stock cams. supras with singles more like the r35 gtr. no idea why.

What do you mean by that?

Your talking about the Harmonic Balancer El Daveo?

I must check mine...got a bit of a vibration at idle and I dont know if the exhaust vibrating or the balancer.

Only flaw I know of with 2J's is that their harmonic balancers explode due to age. The sealant holding the balancer together lets go and they go BOOM.

What do you mean by that?

yer it actually sounds like a load of crap. i was talkin to some guy who built his na into a turbo and he told me the cam covers are pressurised. i cant find any info on it ....

That's the general consensus, drive-train loss exists but isn't a magic percentage or number, it's different to each car. If %20 were the golden rule, how long would a 8000hp top fueler drive-train last if it's losing 1600hp through the drive-train???

And well put! Alot of people don't seem to understand this.

Drivetrain loss has been discussed to death on these forums! Please let's not go there AGAIN.

Lol sounds like he didn't have a one way valve fitted on his breather going into the cam covers and therefore under boost it was getting pressurised.

Thats what I thought, i.e 1.5JZ in an N/A Soarer, Lexus GS300 or Lexus IS300.

Makes sense and would make great power for relatively little coin.

And Rowan is right Saorer owners love the cawk.

I know this is a thread about the JZ engines so i'll give my personal experiences...i know they are meant to be bulletproof but i must say that my supra has given me its fair share of engine related dramas over the past 2 years...everything from blown headgaskets to a spun bearing...luck of the draw i guess...apparently the previous owner didn't really take care of the engine...but my new wrecker engine has been behaving well so far...

On a seperate note...and this is car related...stop calling the supra a boat...its not that bad...as N1GTR pointed out in that youtube clip...stock vs stock it got ahead of a r33gtr...so it can't be that bad...

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
