Why does everyone prefer the 1J over the 2J motor?

[confusatron]

I was just wondering why so many people like the 1J better than the 2J motor. It's half a liter smaller, so why would it be better? Thanks.

The ability to rev it higher then the 2j is a plus, also the cost of the 2j's over the 1j, even though they aren't much more.

How do the redlines compare? Or the real-world safe-revving rpms rather.

Pretty much the main factor.

2JZ stock won't fit right at all unless you go single right off the bat.

Nah, stock twins are just to big to fit.

easy wiring the 1j,2j supra ecu is a pain
1j is alot cheaper then usdm 2j,aristo motor needs different oil pan
more part's have to be sourced for 2j,1j motor mount's and bellhousing
deffinatly a cost factor
if you pull the abs line's out of the way,the 2j with twin's fit's.the rear turbo charge pipe will be up against the firewall

I'm not saying I wouldn't like to have a 2jz, but I have heard alot of great things about the 1jz. I know you've all seen this, but it's one of my favorites.

In the real world where a real modded 2j vs a real modded 1j the 1j gets its ass handed to it every time. This is a joke right! Not even believing a 1j can spank a 2j unless the 2j is bpu.:naughty: :biglaugh: :nono:

Not true A company in NJ SPI sticks 2js turbos in all in a 7m with no body mods at all! It's all about what ya know and who's doing the install.:biglaugh:

 

[mattjk]

bs, you can't slot the motor mounts that much

The main fact is it's cheap so dont let anyone tell you other wise. If 2js could be had for 800-1200 guess what we all would have.

a 2JZ twin *will* fit into the supe fine - but you gotta be RHD tyte

Price of both motors aside... how much more could a 2J cost for a swap? 1500 more for a 2J? seems like it could add up and before you know it you could throw that extra cash into the 1j and be ahead of the game?
