I either could get coilovers and 1j plus goodies or 2j and sit on ebiachs and blown bilstiens. I went for the 1j and I'm happy. Much happier now with the single and my firewall not banged up.
1JZ Trying for 600hp on pump

We should call this forum "Pages of Irrelevance," not Supramania... not that I'm not guilty.
OP what are you thinking in terms of making this happen?? You've received some decent input; what's your plan of attack?

You could always build a 400hp 1j and then go with a 200 shot of NOS! Just try not to blow the welds off the intake and get the mad scientist involved. Ripping apart the block might ensue. All kidding aside, I know of a guy who just dropped a 1j into his bmw, swapped the cams and runs an afc and is getting real close to 500 hp. He's a friend of a guy i work with, and the guy i work with drives a sleeper volvo that has 516hp 4 cylinder, oh and it runs on pump. Anyway, Cams, valves, springs, upgrade the hell out of that fuel system, turbocharger rated for the amount of hp your shooting for, timing control, there is also a set up where you can spray nitrous oxide onto intercooler to super cool incoming air supposedly giving you 25% more power (never done, have only done wet shot under carburetor). Or you could call your tuner and be like yo dudebro I want to make 600 hp what do you recommend? Most manufactures will be more than willing to help you, just be patient and make sure you do your build right.
if i wanted to spend all my savings i could have a 900hp mk4, but i chose a mark3 1jz combo for basically one reason, that they are merely under rated. other reasons are they look way sexier, big singled 1jay sounds sexier, the inside of the mark 3 isnt a crowded "jet fighter" surround type, pop up lights, i mean come on, theyre badass. only pros i can think of a mark 4 is aftermarket and 6 speed, id love a 6 speed..
to sum it all up
mark 4 = SWAG
mark 3 = CLASS

We had that conversation today
You sir are the reason I am swaying towards 1j. I saw the piston he brought into work today, It looked as though it had been thrown into a coffee grinder.

HA HA HARDY HAR HAR.. are we back to this? i own my own home. and own all my cars 3 of them. not poor just work for my toys. respect not wasting too much money.. i dont need to spend dollar to get pennies.IBoughtASupra;1852422 said:
why spend the money on a 2j when i can get 500whp out a 1j for less simple choice.. i was going to do a 2j swap when i started this project., but than i took a good look at hp goals. and thier is absolutly no reason for me to go 2j.. now i dont think their is no arugment that can change that logic..
now if you want to build a complete monster.. say you looking for 700- 800 wheel , than buy all means. build 2j.. really the only major cost differance is like 1g on motor. and the 6 speed is the real killer of the 2j build.. and if you dont have a 6 speed with your 2j.. they will still say your broke..
and we are waaaaay off topic lol
Yes. 1JZ owners are cheapos who live home with their parents to save money.
Man up and get a 2JZ Cheapo.

Ding ding ding ding.
If he looked at my profile and saw my build thread, he'd know I was a huge 1JZ guy.
