Based on what? Exactly what advantage does the RB26 have over the 2JZ? I can name a whole bunch for the 2JZ, but not a single one for the RB26.

soo true!!! lol i have a blacktop sr, i dont like it at all, i would rather go back to my ka, and boost that instead, as everyone knew i originally had planed a rb project and i should on went with it, but push came to shove i had to do the sr, the rb swap was not capable of being done in 1 weekend, lol my sr swap i did it in a day!! at home to!! dude go rb or 2jz its worth it,

Yea worth it im a toyota guy and as u can see 2jz is far more cheaper then a rb25 and rb26… plus makes nice power… Iheard the Rb seriers have oil starvation problems, tell me if im wrong, 2jz doesnt all u need to do wit the 2jz after u get it running is tune it and ur set. as u can see 2jz in a cressida tht my goal in thefuture…[http://www.jzxproject.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=1467](http://www.jzxproject.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=1467)

Just my bias opinion…but i do believe that the rb motors come into there power band sooner than the 2j’s do…as far as the oil starvation problem, they make a high flow pump to fix that…either way you go…it’s a win win…lol.

</div>

what are the differences between the 1jz and 2jz?

hp/tq #s?

is it safe to detune a motor for street issues. like lowering the boost to make less power for winter?
