whats up guys
i have some questions. i'll be using the car for street/drifting.
1. 1jz-gte vs. 2jz-gte? both have 280ps, one is 2.5l and the other is 3.0l, both twin turbo... so which one has greater potential?
2. should i get a sx90 with a 4s-fe 120ps under $1k and swap the engine with 1jz-gte or 2jz-gte, or jzx90 tourer V with 1jz-gte 280ps, and if i get the jzx90 should i swap the engine with 2jz-gte? either one i get i have to have blow off valve, turbo timer, lsd, coilovers. so with all these mods which one would be cheaper?
thanks, any comment is appreciated

I would say the 2JZ-GTE is the better engine, and there is probably more parts for it.

OTOH, the 1JZ-GTE was a more popular option for the 70 series Supra than the 7M-GTE. So, displacement isn't eveything.

Good luck shoehorning a JZ block in a car designed for an S block.

It has been done before. If he really wants to do it he can :thumbup:

I vote for the 2JZ.

Well, the 2JZ-GTE was offered in the MKIV Supra and the V300 Aristos...

the 1JZ-GTE was offered in the JZA70 Supras, Chasers, and of course the Soarers...

as for the 1jz and 2jz GTEs producing the same power, that's just manufacture's claim, the 2jz-gte produces around 320 hp in actuality; it's underrated in Japan (or wherever you are)...

for potential, they're both great, 2.5 vs. 3.0, weight may be an issue, but that all depends on what you're going to use the engine for. Your login mentions drifiting, so i'd say go with the 1jz, since you shouldnt really be drifting a 700hp T88 2JZ-GTE anyway...

the 2JZ is a pinnacle of japanese engineering... 2JZ for me anyday :thumbup:

While the SX90 has the S motor, the car did come with JZ motors, the JZX90 with 1JZ-GTE... that generation of Mark II was the 1993 Cressida North America never got.


The 1JZ is a short-stroked motor... you may not enjoy the low-end torque. You'll have fun with both, it all boils down to price.

the fun you can have with 1JZ.

I would say 2JZ........but both are kickass engines capable of holding rediculous boost

This is what I have read before, the 1JZ's are only good to about 700hp, the 2JZ will go way higher than that, I remember seeing 2JZ's dynoed at about 1200hp before, and there's probably ones making more than that.

2JZs were designed with only one thing in mind: RACING PERFORMANCE.

The bottom end was designed and built like a tank, it can take far more punishment than any V8 block.
