rb25 neo,rb26dett,vg30dett,2jzgte??

[leez32]

engine change in my z32 n/a which can i put and reliable??

[aroche25]

Most people on here will say VG30Dett and it is. But my preference is a 2Jzgte. Also the Rb's will cost you much more money then a VG30dett or 2Jzgte.

And the RB's fit like arse.

And the RB's fit like arse.

2Jz is just as bad. That is a very long motor. There is a thread on 2ZC with someone putting in a 1JZ. He didn't modify his firewall/tunnel, but had to cut out the radiator support to mount the radiator.

I love the 1JZ/2JZ motor, very well built, solid motor. But, I wouldn't want to do the mods required to make it fit.

i know what u guys are saying,vg30dett is a potent motor but theres just one snag about it,the room to work on is very limited....if i had to put a 2jz in can i use my transmission? would prob have to modify the bell housing to fit the 2jz block,but can it handle the power??

[NolimitZ32]

Z32 trans is pretty stout.

[leez32]

ok so u recon i can use it to match up to a 2jz? will it handle about 450-550rwhp?

[NolimitZ32]

I've never heard of anyone having problems with the trans while running in that range but that doesn't mean that it doesn't happen.

[leez32]

yeah i know anything can happen when pushing that amount of power,i wouldnt mine putting in a rb26dett but ive heard that they are lil weak on oil pickup and run bearings,what do u think?

[vulcanrush]

i don't think too many people here have attempted an rb or 2jz swap? please correct me if i'm wrong.
there's gotta be a gtr forum, regarding engine characteristics, etc.
