turbomark Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Since when has the rb26dett been stronger than the 2jz? 2jz makes more power stock, greater displacement, and is stronger internally. Plus more stateside support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus more stateside support. The rb26 is strong enough internally. And bigger displacement isn't always better, especially in twin charged motors. The rb also has plenty of support, not to mention parts are cheaper anyway if you order from Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheaper except for your shipping charges and customs fees and the three month wait.(unless you ship next day air) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbomark Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 rb's max out at what 600ish at the wheels while supras have held over 900 on the stock blocks. And I honestly don't see how less displacement is ever a "good" thing (besides applications where larger displacement means a drop in redline, in which case the 2jz with proper valve springs etc. can still turn 10,000 rpm).

boosted98gst Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 you can get any rb26 rb25 or rb20 parts state side, phase2 has anything you want. i have a friend with a rb26dett with the rb25 tranny all the supporting mods and mount kit ect, in a 240sx coupe its not as impressive as you think , only built they ....friends gt35 sr20 with maxwork vg tranny ect, with less money into blows the rb away. call mckinneymotorsports ive been to there shop before and they have an rb26 in a hardbody and every 240 at there shop , they can pre use the rb mount kit for the 240sx to fit the truck , thats if you you have deep pockets, rb26dett is 4,200 then you will need to use a rb25 tranny, which is another 800$ ......1200 for the mount kit , wireharness unless you do yourself is 300$ all for 280 hp.

The reason that supra owners in japan have swapped the 3sgte into supras is strictly for a weight distribution and reduction purpose. Especially in the jgtc series where theres a hp limit. And even then... they aren't twin turbo. [/threadjack] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/threadjack] jdm 2jz are no weaker then a usdm , only difference in the two motors is one is map one is maf, jdm has smaller injectors / smaller cams/ and ceramic turbos , everything else is the same. i know for a fact that jdm and usdm share the same rods and pistons, head block ect. the jdm 2jz was just casterated.

boosted98gst Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 your other option can be a 1jz, i can get the front clips for 2200 non shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedline Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 your other option can be a 1jz, i can get the front clips for 2200 non shipped. thats the 2.5l l6 right? Are they 5 or 6 spd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosted98gst Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 yeah 2.5 twin turbo inline6, most are r154 5 speed, the same tranny used in the swapped 240sx good for 700hp and due to gearing. only takes 6 wires to get the engine started in a nissan product. stock its 280hp but you know how capable the jz motors are, 1jz is a cheaper rb26dett option used in alot of datsun owners/ 240sx owners , they share alot of the same parts as a 2jz and have state side parts due to alot of the mk3 swaps.
