1JZ with ct26

[gtsfirefighter]

Anybody running a 1jz with a ct26? How's the performance? Pros and cons?

I'm rethinking engine options. Long time off if I do but what to know experiences.

I doubt anyone has ever done it, probably not much of a gain over the stock twins.

That's where you're wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


:biglaugh: People have done it, usually with upgraded CT26s, don't think I've ever seen a thread complaining about them so they're probably okay :biglaugh:

why you thinking 1jz man?

Ask Aaron....he would know

I am going to do so quite soon, just need a little more cash, although it will not be a stock ct.

Purely superficial.:biglaugh: I think it looks pretty damn good under the hood of an MKIII.

the 1 and 2jz gives it a simple look compared to the 7m, I know I feel the same way.

1J is ugly IMHO... but then again it's probably because most people just toss the engine in without cleaning it up.

2J is a whole nother story.

 

[Mk3runner]

its not that hard for a little wipe down after its in.. well not for me at least.

57trim + 1jz = fast spool and plenty of power.

I agree. A cleaned up 1jz is nice to look at but a 2jz is simply :love:

But by the time I have the money to get a front clip, there probably won't be none left.

1jz is the civic b16 swap in a sense, means find a 2jz and be happy.

What's a civic b16 swap?:biglaugh:

A 2j would be nice I have to admit, hmmm, I wonder if that ct26 adapter would fit on a 2j head?

Hell, this is probably just a pipe dream for me anyway.

what ? whats wrong with 1j ... lol


although i must admit it is slow with out those turbos, my ic pipes poped off a couple of times today and with no boost its slower than a prehistoric dinasour .

Not true. Every motor has different properties, some want torque, some want a HUGE powerband. If I put the holset hx35 on my motor, I would see full spool at 3500 and ride it out to the stock redline of 7250rpm. I want something I can play with in all situations (drag, highway and autox)

we did it on chris' car and it turned out pretty nicely...not boosting much yet but it does feel good.

I agree, the point I was trying to make was lately I been seeing 1jz swaps but 2j at the same time has been rare.. maybe I'm not seeing it but thats how I was trying to put it across.

as for a pipe dream, well you got to start somewhere.

yeah, we gotta get it up to like 15psi though, at ct26 stock wastegate 6.8psi or so it feels pretty slow. Hopefully he'll get a boost controller after the trans swap, and at that point it should be pretty nice.
