Not flaming you....but...why would you do that when their is the 2JZ? RB would be massively expensive. You'd have to use the RWD RB25 tranny too and not the one with the RB26.

What he said.
If you want to dump tons of money into a Toyota to put a Nissan Motor in it, rather than spend half the money to put in a more powerful motor that there is already a lot of resources and a lot of success in doing then by all means do it. Not to mention that you can just use an R154 with a 1JZ bellhousing for a 2J. R154 FTW.
Why not get something easier to put it in like a Datsun or an actual Nissan.
dollar for dollar the 2jz is just easier. and we all know it bolts up. unless i got a full engine, ecu, and everything PLUS the correct rwd transmission for say... 2k, then i would think about it. even still then i would rather sell it and just go jz.
You know guys, I hate to break it to you but not everyone wants the cheapest easiest best route. Different is not a bad thing ( sometimes )... go for it.
um... there is a reason they put Supra engines in damn near everything they can fit em in...
Go ahead, but you won't be impressed with the engine in stock form, and getting parts isn't going to be easy...

Maybe you're just consumed with the novelty of the idea... and I don't blame you, considering how OMGAWESUM people go over the RB26.
But in reality, save certain situations, the 2JZ is the superior engine. Its lighter (yes, lighter), much cheaper to mod, and the torque band blows the RB away.
Even the GT-R guys want 2JZs, its that good.
But the reality of an RB in an A70 is a bad one; heavy motor in a portly chassis, with less displacement to shove it all around. There are literally no pros to doing this (other than a weak "it would be kewl") and a whole list of cons.

i see your point, it just didnt sound like he had an endless budget to throw at it. that and there are so many different RB engines... 2.0, 2.5, 2.6. and then in one of my latest magazines they STROKE the RB out to 3.0L just like the 2jz... haha. that made me laugh.
i think both engines are kind of "golden" engines in my eyes, but i try to think logically to a certain respect, smogging an rb is impossible... at least the 2jz you could get it to pass.
if he wanted to be REALLY different than throw in a 95 M3 motor with a supercharger. now that would be different.
and i talked to a guy with an RB in his 240sx, sounds mean as hell, but i looked at his engine bay and noticed how many DSM parts he has... i couldnt believe it when he said the BOV and CAS were actually mitsu parts... that just scares me about the RB.
the RB26 is way overrated, IMHO. It does have a few cool things though. Sub-harnesses, ITB's, i think that's about it. oh, the stock twins are soooooooooo ghey. the oil lines (i forget if it's the feed or return) have a little loop like if Nissan took a Hot Wheels track and used it for the lines. It makes it impossible to take off without taking off each little hose/clamp/bolt/nut/etc.
I believe it has been done before, but only in a JZA80. search, "Smokey Nagata RB26 Supra" on google or something.

And they stroke the 2JZ to 3.4Rennat;1050325 said:
I've been inside both motors, and can tell you the 2JZ is a much more robust engine all around.
If you want my opinion, it's sort of an interesting idea, but for what you're swapping, it's not that terribly different. I6 to I6, ooooh. If you're going through the effort of putting a special motor in it, do something really different, that'll really turn heads.
IMO, if you want to make something interesing with a nissan motor, do a SR20 A70.
If you want another Toyota motor, do a 1UZ, or if you really want to stay I6, a 1FZ.
SR20's are over rated, there like the new age B-series swap...
I would rather build a built KA then go thru the hassle of the SR. and if your going to take a hit in displacement, would much rather go 1jz for that matter.

True, the SR is an overdone motor.
But, it's an all aluminum I4 capable of 300whp. You're going to have less weight, weight localized further back, and still have a decent amount of power. It's not going to beak any Supra power records, but it's going to be a quick car, and definitely be unique.
