2jz-gte vs. rb26-dett

[Sport1.3]

The toyota teams did used the 3sgte and the 1uz v8 instead of a 2jz

that was do to the weight of the motor and the ability for the 3s and the 1uz to sit further back in the engine bay for better weight distribution. the cars are limited to 500ps so really it isnt because the 2j wasnt good enough, it was because the 3s can make that much power and more no problem, and the 1uz N/A was more reliable and had much more lower end tq.

personally i think both motors are amazing for a I6. but "competition breads success" so this arguement isnt in vain. id love to see several tuning companies battle it out for superiority

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.

Yeah there are a few companies in the states that have TONS of stuff available. jspec i know of has full rebuild kits in stock.

You can even get new manifolds and downpipes plus usd shit all day off Ebay.

fastes rb run 7.6

fastest 2jz is in the 6s

john shepard is both of their fathers. lol, 7's on a 4 cylinder 5 speed?!?! Oh shit.

[PSINXS]

brent rau still owns shep even though his is auto. its still a 4g63 that runs 6s as well

Since this thread sucks anyway....Brent Raus car is fast but nobody in the sevens is shifting a manual tranny like that.

[PSINXS]

which is true. i do give shep props. i know last year at world finals he was tearin all kinds of shit up though. did he ever make a clean pass at the finals?

[1439/2000]

Yeah thats when he did I think 7.97 @ 180 or some shit. Thats the second awd in the 7's. Brent Rau's car is RWD, the white xbox car, i think they have a built Mighty Max rwd 4g in it.

i was lead to beleive otherwise.

i stand corrected

naw that 7.97 was at E-town in New jersey. world finals was ohio. i just remember shep ripping up the drivetrain on just about every pass he attempted to make.

and raus car is just nasty. when a 4 banger throws the front wheels up in the air its time to start giving credit.

[sebastianHoff]

for the record the stock rb head gasket will and has taken 800whp and they both suck considering an ls1 or 5.0 can make way more power for way less money.

Well gee when you have close to twice the displacement (2jz case) or more (rb26 case) i wouldn't be suprised.

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.

[HachiDori]

4age> 2Jzgte
4age> Rb

4age ftw!!

2jz get's my vote.

[Sport1.3]

WTF r u smoking....4ag is teh suck FTL.....4ag<4agze<7ag

[RUSH]

Stupid Thread!

The 2j has broke 1000rwhp on a stock motor besides cams, but gimmie a break!

I have a Th400 in my car with a 4200 stall, it did 720rwhp last week, if it was still a 6spd it would be over 800rwhp+, no motor work yet...no cams/valves/retainers/intake manifold/ and so on, but thats going in, in a few weeks....lol
The 2J is a very solid motor, and will take some abuse....as well as the rb26, both good motors....nuff said!

Oh, I would rather race from a dig not a roll!

[Maki]

what is it going in?

[an0therh22]

both motors can handle turbo very well but in my opinion if i had the money i would get the rb motor

[Big Baller]

Neither

World Products Ford Windsor block(with 302 mains) stuffed with a 4 inch stroke crank, 6.25 inch rods and a 4.125 inch piston.

That is a bad mother fucker

[Five*Star*]

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

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!

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.

I fixed it for ya

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.

[StupidBikerBoy]

Wow, there sure is a lot of misinformation in this thread.


I think you could guess what I voted, but they are both legendary motors.

I went with an RB26 because I wanted something unique.:idb:

[bdydrpdmazda]

rb26dett > 2jz
NISSAN > ALL

[supraguy23]

I Own a supra TT but love the rb26, in my opinion the 2jz is a lot cheaper to get more power out of, you would have to build the rb26 to make anywhere near the power that a stock enternal 2jz could put out

[supraguy23]

Bump for Turbo Dave

[babowc]

lololol
they're BOTH marvelous engines.

you guys are retarded for arguing about this!!one!onneoneone !!!eleven!!1one!112!

[40th GT]

I voted 2jz b/c they're readily available in the U.S. and therefore, cheaper parts. That's just my guess, I'm a domestic guy.

[srtspence]

i like the 2jz

[bagnasco]

get the 2jz-gte. horsepower is useless if you cant drive your car.

[Krazykouki]

RB30DET>ALL

[ttman]

2JZGTE>RB
last time I checked, R34 weighs MORE than a supra. supra=3400lbs, R34=3600 lbs. judging from the poll, most people got it RIGHT ;-) besides just sheer asthetics, the 2JZ looks much better than the tilted, budged RB. most importantly the 2JZ has a much stronger stock bottom end and is a bigger motor, FTW.

Wrong. Supras haven't weighed 3400lbs since 1984.

93 - 98' weigh 3600 - 3800 lbs. And 3600 lbs isnt bad for an AWD car.

As far as the bottom end being stronger, havent seen a 2JZ got to 1800hp on the stock bottom.

The RB26 has been taken to 1800 HP on the stock bottom end. This was already posted in here once near the beginning.

They're both great motors, but if I wanted to be a sheep I woulda went with the 2JZ instead.

2JZ = fast & furious on a budget compared to the RB26.

[ranj]

why would you need to make over 1000hp anyways?

very good question lol
probably just for bragin (sp) rights. lol sure u can go faster, but damn over 1000?

[Fr33way]

Didn't know people that build 700-1200hp motors were worried about shipping from Japan. LOLz.

[Benefit]

supra = highway/drag whore

skyline = track/drag/drift/show/ list goes on

[1989_crx_si]

who the hell would need 1500+ hp in a car? i think 1000 hp is more than enough..

i always love 2jz because they're known to hold 1000 hp with a stock bottom end..

but i'll go with a 3sgte - if you fully built it you can pretty much have 600+ and it's a smaller motor..

Now thats what im talking about.

2JZs are taking over the world....one 240 at a time.
