1jz pistons i 2jzge

[quark]

Hi guys.

I have a 1jz frontcut waiting, I want to make a 1.5jz. Is it possible to use the 1jz pistons in the 2jzge block, and would that be a good solution to lower compression? What about the 2jzge con-rod, are they any good?

Reason that I ask, is that its very hard to find a 2jzgte from a supra here.

this thread states the pistons are interchangeable. it also says the rod and main bearings are also interchangeable, so it seems that the con rods would work also. most builds i've seen use the thickness of the headgasket to determine the compression ratio.

Rods would not work as the 2jz deck is about an inch taller.

For the best result, you should use the 2JZGE short block from a 92-94 Lexus Sc300...95 & up have weaker VVti Rods. Buy a set of JZA80 TT Pistons and your set from there. The sc300 92-94 Non-VVti come with the same bottom half as the twin turbo Supra (2JZGTE) minus the pistons. Get yourself a 1JZGTE head from a Toyota Cresta E-JZX81 or a Chaser E-JZX90 they tend to flow better than the other 1Js, do that my friend and you're in business. You be able to get atleast 450-520 on stck internals, grant it you go with a single set up. Better with a T70 or 62-1 or larrge turbo with alteast 650 injectors and a good Standalone AEM, Altech etc. That will be a beautiful project when its done..trust me mine is.

That is some good condensed information right there

People need to stop putting false information up. You can use 1jz pistons on a non vvti 2jzge block. It will bolt right on. I know this because that's exactly what I use on my 1.5jz with 2jzgte OEM head gasket. It works perfectly.

Doing this makes it a 2jzgte block without oil squirters as the 1jzgte and 2jzgte have the same pistons
