im glad you mods really take pride in kepping the forum where it should be i would hate to see sm run down with bs and bad attitudes like sf, all in all supramania ftw 123456jz ftw
Why does everyone prefer the 1J over the 2J motor?

- Start date
without boost they are torquless wonders.. seriously.. the stock twins hid that fact cause they come on so fast..Brewster said:
2.5L can only do so much.. lol.. bigger is better.. unless you just want a bpu car.. then stock twin 1j is a cheap fun ride imo..

i prefer the 2J for making big power
i've rode in a 67mm 1J and a stock twin'd 1J
the stock twin'd was ALOT more fun than the big single. took too long to build boost and it can't get out of its own way when its not in boost...
plus there is no replacement for displacement..... why do you think the 2J guys are going to 3.4 liters now?????

I'm going to swap a 4A-GE into a MKIII and then I'll be pulling 40MPG CITY and I'll be totally unique. How's about them apples. :biglaugh:

That'd be cool if there ever was such a concept as "city driving" where you don't stop and no uphill streets. Seriously, we need torque so we don't rev to the moon going over hills. Revving wastes gas and wears the engine.
I would pick the 2J for legality reasons here in Smog-Nazi Kommyfornia

Just stroke the 1JZ. They make a kit, I saw a few on Ebay. Seems new and should work.
I think it was called a 2JZ-GE.

Don't blame the engine because people don't put the right size turbo on it. That says more about the owner then the engine. Put a t88 on a 2jz and it's a laggy sob too.
Aaron's right on just about all accounts, guys. I really don't know where all the hostility over which engine is in one's Supra comes from - wingman's got the right idea, though 
onejoezee,
Prove me wrong! Don't say 2jz or 7m parts that FIT on the 1jz. I believe there is not a HUGE aftermarket support for the 1jz as there is for the 2jz. Is there huge selections of down pipes, turbo manifolds, intake manifolds *SPECIFICALLY* for the 1jz? I don't see many.

Come on now, I make a down pipe, BIC makes a downpipe, HKS makes a downpipe, Greddy makes a downpipe....
Then theres the Ebay AND the Australian y-pipe
There are at least 4 different turbo manifolds readily available, for t3 and t4 turbos.
Intake manifold? Why? It already has a ffi, and if you really want custom them you just make a phone call and order one.
I have complete gasket kits, Greddy timing belts, 2 different power steering hoses, hydrofan hoses will be ready next week, I will make harness jumpers if you send the connectors (not possible for a 2jz swap), catback is the same as 7m.

Why don't you do some better research before being so sure about your assumptions of the 1J aftermarket since you're so experienced with the engine. oh wait, you don't even have one. Aaron just did the research for you.JoeC said:
Aaron and jose just made a whole freaking turbo kit for suprahero with a GT35R. MTR and MVP have fuel systems for the 1J for the higher power applications. Driftmotion is working on a standalone. ebay has parts all the time. the FS section also has 1J parts (more SF than here). there's spare 1J engines galore in the US should you need one. What else do you need that's so hard and difficult to find?
aight peace :chicken:
why is it that everyone who always says it's hard to get parts for a 1J doesn't even have one?
