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

    without boost they are torquless wonders.. seriously.. the stock twins hid that fact cause they come on so fast.. 2.5L can only do so much.. lol.. bigger is better.. unless you just want a bpu car.. then stock twin 1j is a cheap fun ride imo..
