1jz or 2jz

Negative on suprastore...

I think you've mistaken suprastore with suprasport.

Edit:

Another reason I'd go 2jz over 1jz is the 2jz is only like 20-50 lbs heavier for a half liter more

Nah, there's a review in there, most of the worst reviews on them are from my old days on SF to be honest...

for most folks, the 2J is the better deal.. in the supra, the difference shows in stop and go traffic. the 1J needs to be pushed more to get the car up to speed, and I have the 3.91 diff. I would imagine it would be worse with the 3.73.

one thing that may be brought to the table here is the VVT-i series of the 1J and 2J.. Jose as Kaizen seems to get great results out of these time and again, but I've always felt there's a lack of information for DIY projects. that, and they're more expensive regardless (still, if you can afford one, maybe it would be a great upgrade).

2J VVT-i is weaker than a normal 2J (rods are weaker)

 

[Dylan JZ]

indeed, the N/A VVTi 2J's rods are indeed weaker.. however, the 1J/2JZGTE VVTi motors use rods just as stout as those of the older non-VVTi GTE counterparts.

regardless, I didn't clarify that I was referring to the GTE series.
