1jz or 2jz?

[iLOVEmyMKIII]

Which swap do you guys think would be better? 1jz or 2jz or stick to 7m?

 

[gennro]

both

What's wrong with your 7M? If you're hell bent on a swap, I would go 2JZ.

 

[mdr40z]

2j for sure, if you set it beside your car it'll jump right in

 

[iLOVEmyMKIII]

nothing.
im just thinking of a swap.

 

[juncboi]

2J turbo. That's what I plan to do. I think it costs a little bit on the front end but good benefits over the long haul.

 

[S.A. supra]

2j for sure. The swap will cost about the same. might as well go all the way.

uuuuuuuuummmmmmmm 1jz or stick with 7m.

 

[S.A. supra]

I would say 1j. because you can just start modding it with no worries of bhg. I have had both. Just my opinion. Plus it looks a lot sexier. I'm gonna take the next step tho and go 2j in a 87.

 

[iLOVEmyMKIII]

oh alright. thanks guys for your opinions

Since people have figured out how to do the wiring and other minor mods to drop a 2JZ with little fuss, it's a no brainer to go 2JZ. 1JZ's are getting more rare, thus more expensive. Smaller engine, crap cams, crap turboes, it's gonna cost you over going directly to 2Jz... Look at all the guys that went 1JZ, pushed the hell out of them, didn't get the numbers they wanted, and then went 1.5JZ.

Or,
Spend a third the money on a rebuild of your 7m with some ARP's and a metal head gasket..

so i should rather just go with the 2jz?
im going to spend the same as a 1jz?

You need basicly the same crap for both 1jz/2jz bell housing, fly wheel mounts, ect...

 

[limequat]

1uz

 

[Poodles]

1UZ is quite a lot more work, especially if you want to turbo it...

 

[iLOVEmyMKIII]

alright.
isnt 1uz a v8?

 

[Poodles]

Yep
