BirdmanZ Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 So im getting ready to start my engine swap and ive decided that i want either an rb26 or a 2jz-gte. Ive read so much about these engines here and have learned alot in the process. My question is not which engine is better or will make more power but pertains to two things, difficulty of the swap and parts availability. For those of you that have done these engines swaps i was wondering if could list the biggest problem you have run into while attempting them. And for you Rb guys, is it worth the headache of trying to find parts at reasonable prices to go for the Rb or would you have rather gone for the 2jz if you had to do it over?

b__sosick Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 they are almost equally as expensive ,but i think 2jz is easier to find parts for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I was in japan for 11 years and have ways to get parts. If i had been in the states when i built my car i probably would have gone with the GN motor. lots of parts available. The 2JZ would have been after a turbo v-8 setup. whatever i did it would have had a turbo on it :> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z_cars_rule Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 i would say for u to go with the 2J, reasons being location of the steering rack for ease of turbo mainfold, parts availibility and bottom end strength Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240Z_Master Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I like em both, but I don't like the complicated sequential turbo system that the 2JZ has, but that can be changed. GOOD LUCK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
