    Something to think about:

    how hard is it to get replacements parts for a RB26?
    How hard is it to get replacement parts for a 2JZGTE?

    Aftermarket support DOMINATES the 2JZ market. Tons of stuff available, RB26 is not so, very little support WHEN COMPARED to the 2JZ IMHO.

    pound for pound i would take the toyota proven 900whp stock block workhorse over the rare JDM RB ANYDAY.

    whats the fastest RB in the world, whats the fastest supra

    Rb26 with big hks turbos with a blown motor in an s13 was still one of the scariest fastest 35-100 mph cars I have ever riden in. I'm sure that car back to normal running condition on race putting 700+ to the wheels would put a hurting on some Supras. Same thing with a 2j but as far as in America, you don't seen really well done RB swaps period, much less a 26.

    Nissan motor is a Nissan car. Thats ill.

    2j in a 240 is fast but I'm a fan of staying within the manufacturer.

    I'm not going to comment on which is best because they are both fantastic. I'm on hear to say that replacement parts for RBs are a piece of cake to obtain and anyone believing differently just hasn't made any of the right connections.

    With anything its a matter of connections. We can get RB parts just about as easily as any other motor. One great thing about Japan is they have very few companies that do forging. All the internal engine parts the JDM companies sell is made here in the states by one of the US companies. Cams are about the only thing that takes some time to get but even that can be had within 2 weeks if you know where to get them. Hell I've had to wait longer for USDM parts than I have on some parts coming from Japan. If your really into RB motors you'll eventually find the best source, just like any other specialty. Until then parts can be hard to come by for any engine outside an SR or a B series.

    Only connection you need for 2JZ parts is "Bellsouth", then dial "Titan Motorsports", or stop by AAP or Batlground, and get yourself a fully built and tuned 2JZ right here in ATL.

    Everyone knows who Titan is these days.

    Honestly go to a real drag race and see how many rb motors are there. Just about every race 2j I saw was running mid 6's in the 1/4. I have seen 900+ on a stock block 2j. I have not really looked into the rb motors, I could give a shit less what brand motor is in what car, I would just get dave to put a 2j in a skyline. I know the grey green is running mid 11's on just a hair over 400whp.

    For 4 cylinders, the 4g is great but the ecotech has just completely dominated it in all aspects. They ARE the fastest 4cylinder cars. This is the 1st year for pro extreme and their is a ecotech powered car in the mid 6's maybe lower than that by now. They are shooting for 5's.

    Basically what I was going to say. 2JZ has plenty of parts availability in the USA, and most of us don't need any more than 1600hp anyway!

    You can get parts for the RB26 just as easy as the 2J. We got parts for our RB26 build at lethal in just 2 days. Its not hard anymore.
