I sure this has already been discussed but I have look and still haven't been able to find any real proof that the vvti rods aren't as strong as the non vvti. If there is anything that actually shows that the vvti can only hold 500 hp then please send me the link or show me.
1jz vvti rods vs non vvti rods
- Thread starter Mk3supra60
- Start date
The 1JZ-GTE always had the same rods, VVT-i or not. Same goes for the 2JZ-GTE.
Only the non-turbo versions of the engines got the lighter/weaker rods when VVT-i was introduced.

I think people are still warming up to the vvti engines thats why they came up with this nonsense for weaker internals. vvti engines are amazing, just unknown for the most part in the US and the result misunderstood and looked down upon.
