1.5JZ Timing Belt?

[garagefujimoto]

I am shopping for a Upgraded Timing Belt for my 1.5JZ
Do I buy the 2JZ one?

I searched..and nothing.
SF is blocked at my work too.
Google also sucks.

Thx for your help

arent the 1j and 2j the same?

Diff. P/N

The 2JZ block is taller , so I think 1JZ belt is too short.
I'm pretty sure 2JZ is the ticket.

Yeah, the 2j block is about 2 inches taller than the 1j block, so they are not interchangeable. If you have a 1.5jz though, the 2j belt should work since your using a 2j block.

it is the 2j belt you need.

2 inches taller? Wouldn't that mean the 2JZ stroke is 4" more than the 1JZ? I dunno but 173mm seems awful large, in fact that would make the 2JZ a 6 liter motor. The block height difference equates to half the stroke difference, making it (86mm - 71.5mm) / 2 = 7.25mm taller.

it is exactly 1 inch taller...

Well, I know you know your stuff so I stand corrected.
I guess the rods and pistons being the same is a myth then?

 

[Ckanderson]

i was told that by RGguy.... i have pistons and rods out of my old 1j block ill measure if ya want..

I'm wasn't doubting you, just asking.

I looked it up - the pistons are the same, and the rods are the same in all ways -except- length. So they use the same bearings and fasteners but are in fact longer on the 2JZ. So the difference of 1" makes more sense then.
