2jz block bored out with 1jz crank?

[is300ss]

my current engine is a 1jzgte
I have 2jz block I want to make use of. however I like the 1jz because it loves to rev.

so my question is...
(as a fixed variable lets pretend the head i will be using is fully built)
(you should also know that I would use the right size connecting rod for the correct compression ratio)

does there have to be a balance between bore and stroke to achieve the highest possible USABLE redline
OR is it simply up to the stroke length? i say usable as in having the max hp close to redline, however high that red line can be. LOL this makes sense to me, dont know bout you guys.

I hope that is a clear enough way to put it.

so what (using stock crank) the max you can bore the 2jz is to a 3.4L I believe.
volume is volume right? sooo if i did use the 1jz crank in a fully bored 2jz block id have a 2.9L short stroked 2j.

I want max displacement and highest redline possible know what i'm saying?

bump. wtf help me out someone

iirc the 2jz 3.4l is bored to 87mm and stroked to 94mm, vs the stock 86mm bore x 86mm stroke.

this is a good post even though its geared towards the 7m, but same priciples apply

Properly built 2J will rev as high as a 1J all day everyday...

The 2J block is taller as well, there's too many variables in this...

thanks, yeah that link helps. i guess Ill just research engine geometry.

bored to 87? thats it?

thats just for safety right? do you know how far you can bore it?

I personally wouldn't go any further than 87mm, but you may get away with 87.5mm.

That being said, using a 2JZ block would make very little sense. You'd need to use longer rods which would add weight, or use custom pistons with a different wrist pin location, but that would be quite a bit of piston above the pin, not the best idea.

You gain nothing from using a 1JZ crank in a 2JZ block. You get the same displacement boring out a 1JZ block with a 1JZ crank.

My point is, deck height has nothing to do with the displacement, so you're making your life harder by trying to use a 2JZ block.

Run whatever built head on a bored 1JZ block.

Correct.

First question is why? I've had high end 2JZs easily from 9,000 up to around 10,200 (not that anyone needs to go up there). The 2JZ really has no issue with RPM, throw some valvetrain in it, a good piston and rod and it will turn pretty much as fast as it needs to to keep up with any size turbo you'll probably ever put on it.

Why would you want a bigger bore? That just shrinks the cylinder wall and will reduce the block's life. Much easier to crack a cylinder the larger you go.

[Adjuster]

I'm with the reality that larger bore is not the (best) way to gain displacement.

Stroke is better, when you can get it.

Bore only works if you have verified the bore wall thickness, or are using liners. (especially on open deck designs, if we are discussing any engines here, the 7M is closed deck, IIRC so are the 1J and 2J designs.)

I know on the open deck blocks, liners that lock up at the top, and keep the bores from flexing out of place better than stock can give some bore increase with out problems, but again, it's better to get the displacement from stroke if you can.

If you want more displacement than the factory, it's time to get another motor. (I have a stroked 7M, and if I was going to do it all again, I'd go the route Ian is now, a 6.3 V8 with a medium sized turbo hung off it.)

LOL I'm actually looking at a 572ci big block mated up to a 5 speed auto in a MK3.. That would really piss off some folks, but then again, most of them would be looking at the back end of my car anyway....

a 2j block with (assuming unmodified 1jz crank) is basically a taller 1j with no difference in stroke of that of a standard 1j

if you keep bore on the 2j and 1j the same in this case, and the only thing changing between the two is the crank, the only thing you're changing is the length of the stock 1jz rods to suit the deck height of the 2j. you end up with a taller, heaver 1j that will have identical stroke and bore of a stock 1j.

if you're aiming to get more stroke with a 1j, you're better off starting with a 2j. if you want a short stroke with increased displacement, bore out a 1j.

[rayray]

and it's not just the bore that is changed on a 2j block to achieve 3.4L. if it were that simple everybody would have a 3.4L. rod length and stroke (as well as bore) is changed.

theoretically even if you used 90mm bore pistons in a 2j, you would only achieve 3.28L

the same theoritical 90mm bore magical piston in a 1j would only get you a whopping 2.74L... again changing bore only.
