Is there any truth to the non vvti engine being alot stronger than the vvti motors or are they equally as strong?

If anything Non Vvt-i is stronger, Toyota went with smaller lighter rods on all their vvt-i engines. from the 2jz- all the way up to the 2uz-fe. let me show u a examples..
The skinnier rod of the left is a vvt-i 2jz rod, the thicker one on the right is a non vvt-i
Look at the vvt-i rods in this pic..
here are 1uz (non vvt-i) vs 3uz (vvt-i)
Non VVt-i rods are much beefier on all toyota engines.. go with non vvt-i
Maybe that lower rotational weight is a good thing? The lighter rod is better in EVERY aspect for a stock motor, which is what they are producing. There are way more advantages to going with the lightest rod possible AS LONG AS it is strong enough vs. overbuilding. Just a thought, maybe you were being sarcastic and I didn't get it. Anyway.......hopefully that's helpful.JASONA70;930607 said:

For sure it is true for 2JZ ,but for 1JZ I’m not so sure. Unless someone have firsthand experience with highly modded 1jz-GTE vvt-i my guess will be that there might not even be a difference in the rods ,since the 1JZ-vvti was introduced in 1996 (2Jz-vvti 1998). In addition - the official document from Toyota in regards to the introduction of 1JZ-GTE VVT-I ,they do not mention a difference in the rods… but they DO show the following 2 graphs
P.S. Any twin turbo lovers still around?
Whoever has a spare 1jz vvti needs to bust that thing open and see if any of the internals are weaker than the non vvti's.
are these vvti rods you're posting NA or turbo? VVTi NA 2jzges are weak. The Turbo VVTi parts are just as strong as the non-vvti 2jzgte.
