1JZ OR 2JZ? WHY?
- Thread starter jdmk3
- Start date
i was going to go 1J, i decided to go 2J, for 2 reasons, first being i would like to keep it mostly stock as possable, and get a decent amount of reliable power out of it. Now 1J might have been able to do the same for me, but here comes reason 2, theres only 1 other 2J locally, and i like to set myself apart from the rest, in prety much everything i do. I guess i could say reason 3, would be becasue the first time i heard of a 2J in a MKIII (before i owned my first supra) i knew i wanted to buy a MKIII, and swap in a 2J. So i guess you could call it meeting a goal i set for myself 7 years ago.
i baught my 2J, Duane called me a few days after. Now, Duane is without a doubt the most die hard fan of the 7M that i know (ask to see his tatty) I figured he was going to be a little angry that i decided to ditch the 7M, after i told him, all i got was a evil laugh, followed by "cool dude, thats going to be sweet" IMO, a MKIII lover, will always apriciate any MKIII, no matter what motor its got in it.

This is making me regret my 1jz and I haven't even started the swap yet............:nono:
I do like to go fast, and hopefully with a few upgrades the 1jz will be what I need. I just want to be able to SPANK mustang gt's and srt4's. That's not that much to ask of a supra..................lol

Why can't we make a big sticky here which has all the relevent posts from all the 1jz vs 2JZ vs 7M vs 1uz vs jet engine threads?
Just a thought.

The thread asked about why someone decided on a swap... I simply posted that given the chance to do things again, I would have swapped a 2JZ instead of a 1JZ.
I'm not knocking any of the 3 motors, they are ALL good for various reasons.

No sweat Hams. If nothing else, you will be one of the very few than can speak with experience with all three motors...
i just faced the fact a 2j would be hard to come by. so im building up the 7m. and i think the 1j just wouldnbt be worth all the hassle

Hindsight 20/20 tells me that the 1J swap isn't a hassle at all, just costs some coin to do it right, IMO. With that said, the motor goes in today & I'm hoping to fire it up tonight, so I'll hold some reservations until I'm completed...
7Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Nough said :biglaugh:
Just kidding. The 3 engines are all great. I decided to stick with the 7M since I have all bugs worked out and have too many custom parts made for it anyway.
I say good on you for what you chose as you are the one that needs to be happy. I get "why didn't you build up a 2J" all the time :3d_frown:
Anyway later
Duane
Jayhall (Daryl) You know I am a MKIII guy and I will still let you be my friend :icon_razz

i can't say that i'm going to regret it.
I will get to leave my Problimatic 7M behind. This one that is , my last 7M was Fine. On the other hand 2J's are great but with the difuculty and cost involved i think the 1J is a great middle ground. that why i went with it. Hald Decent HP Stock, not crazy expensive and not too dificult to install
I better be able to spank some Stang and SRT4's Or i will be one sad Bob
My 1J will be starting off pretty much stock other then an Intake and Full 3" from the Turbos Back ( Well a Y-Pipe and then Full 3")
My Buddy Dave's 1jz is running consistent 14 sec flat with a stock 1jz and auto trans with crappy 225 tires on sawblades.
