Seen a 2JZ so that means the 1JZ could be done. Does sombody want to donate one so I can try?

Post by **_dk** » Tue Jan 28, 2003 5:40 pm

if an RB can fit, i imagine a JZ would too... but why, when the RB25DET is much closer to "bolt-in" (according to those who've actually done it)?

reminds me of the SR20-powered FD i saw online a few days ago... great car (*ducks flying objects*), great motor, but that doesn't mean they should go together.

just my thoughts...

Post by **meggala** » Tue Jan 28, 2003 5:40 pm

one of the main consideration is cost for the 1jz also the stregth of the motor on stock internals. cost would be nearly half that of a rb enigne for me

Plymouth slant six? It's about the same length.

Post by **themadscientist** » Tue Jan 28, 2003 5:40 pm

pretty much the same vital measurements but if you want a four door 1JZ just by a Mark II Tourer V.

What was the CC of the slant 6?? A Mopar 240...lol. That would definitly be different. Alot of people say the slant 6 was one of the better engines ever made to include the Hemi...

Meggs, quite screwin around an build a RB30DET. If I had access to as many RB30's as you did I would have built one 4 years ago.

Post by **Daunttless** » Tue Jan 28, 2003 5:40 pm

No kidding, plus, we don't get 1jz's over here.

Post by **themadscientist** » Tue Jan 28, 2003 5:40 pm

I make three, it's official get a 30 dude! Or you could ship two RB30s to Okinawa and WD and I could put two 1Js in the box and send it back to ya!:thinker

Post by **WDRacing** » Tue Jan 28, 2003 5:40 pm

TRUE...

Post by **meggala** » Tue Jan 28, 2003 5:40 pm

you guys are seriously tempting meI can get them and I can shipp them hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.very temptingI might just go and pick up a couple of rb30's from the 7/11 with the change I have from my smokes.

seriously I will ship rb 30 bottom ends for $500US + shipping to any one who is interested

quoting dauntQuote »No kidding, plus, we don't get 1jz's over here.[/quote] I'll have a little cry for you if you dont get the 1jz's there.

the problem with the rb 30 is thisthere are some height issues with them

cheers

Post by **meggala** » Tue Jan 28, 2003 5:40 pm

and as you can see there is a height issue

Post by **themadscientist** » Tue Jan 28, 2003 5:40 pm

I think I could line up at least three buyers here in Okinawa, WD can likely get a few more, are they RB30ETs or RB30Es? Can you get it to Naha port in Okinawa? If so how much or what would you like in exchange?

I stand behind the Mad master, Holding a RB20 Chank to smack the chumps with!!

Post by **meggala** » Tue Jan 28, 2003 5:40 pm

basically the rb 30et's and e in the series 2 are the same they have the holes for the oil lines these motors are just the bottom half of the motor below the the head if you want a complete one with the single cam head they cost more allot more.there is quite a bit involved with getting the motors out they need to be packed and cleaned unlike a sealed engine.you would probably need to find pistons of a lower comp ratio if the motors are n/a and rb 25 or 26 ones fit. if you order more than 3 the price comes down and more than 6 it comes down even more. shippping would be fob which mean you pay for the shipping at your end I would get you a quote b4 any orders.3 engine go into a cubic meter as a guide for you think 4-700 for a cubic meter shipping I have no real idea to be honest.but can find out If you choose to do this it would take a couple fo weeks b4 they are shipped. and then its a couple weeks on the boat b4 you do any thing though check any import duties and tariff at your end cause It heard can be nasty price wise.I wont start the ball rolling till I recieve a deposit. I 've had a number of people blow alot of wind but still no taker as WD know's I've been around the scene for a while I do send stuff round australia quite a bit and I have had no complaintsthink about it I'm not all talk I can and will deliver.meggala

btw that goes for any parts people want I will tell you straight up yes or no if I can get them and I will ship any where

just need short blocks, don't have a use for the SOHC heads, I already have paperweights on my desk. I will confer with my crew and see what the interest is. It wouldn't be too soon as we are all knee-deep in projects at the moment, I will probably be the pointman on this. I will hit you up when I finish the research and we are ready with deposits.

Post by **meggala** » Tue Jan 28, 2003 5:40 pm

np mad at least you know of some one who can get them to you I have done teh research on this to other places not much different I'll be there when you want them just drop a line.they arent the ants pants but are different. I still to this day prefer the 25 or 26.meggala

Post by **WDRacing** » Tue Jan 28, 2003 5:40 pm

I'm out of the Skylines for now fella's. Most of the crew I used to race with has left the island. I'll ask around, but most of the new guys just buy a GTR or a Supra with they're insanly high reanlistment bonus. I hate them....

Meggs, why don't you just use a hood scoop?? I would...

Post by **meggala** » Tue Jan 28, 2003 5:40 pm

wd they fit fine in r32's 33 34 its the 180 silvias they dont fit in and yes I'm even considering one for the cefiro. causde there are sop few cefiros here I am seriously considering building mine up niceley but I'll make no decision till I see it and drive it for a while.meggala

Post by **themadscientist** » Tue Jan 28, 2003 5:40 pm

I have the same clearance problems on my Silvia. I might just drive around with no hood for a while.

Post by **WDRacing** » Tue Jan 28, 2003 5:40 pm

What clearence problems do you have Madsi? I thought you had a CA.

Post by **themadscientist** » Tue Jan 28, 2003 5:40 pm

Post by **JESTER** » Tue Jan 28, 2003 5:40 pm

Wouldn't mind having a 1jz or 2jz in a MKIII.

Would wether have a RB26 in a 240 but I would love to see a 1jz in a 240. That is about the only makes I wouldn't mind interchanging, Toyota and Nissan.

Post by **rbsileighty** » Tue Jan 28, 2003 5:40 pm

You would probably run into the same problems as swapping a RB26 in our LHD cars... i am pretty sure (at least most) 1jz's are twin turbos. That just eats up a ton of room. Since yours is probably RHD the twins are going to be on the same side as the steering and may contact the shaft (same as we would with a RB26 i think). I'm sure with a a31 crossmember in the 240 you could probably get your engine low enough... but i'm not sure. You are most likely going to run into the same problems with the 1jz in an A31. I am not sure on all of this... but that is my 2 cents. Hope it helps!
