nothin a sleeved vq wouldnt handle...the stock heads flow better than 2jz...and of course more displacement...

the ony thing gained is really engine bay space to put a big turbo.

Yeah i know. The 2j stock is 238 and the VQ is 266 on the intake at .450 of lift. It seems like a decent difference, but is it really that much better? Seeing how a ported supra head is over 300 just like a VQ.

SPV (swirl port velocity) > CFM

Don't get caught up in the cfm game. There are more important factors in producing hp (combustion chamber design / spv / port angle) than how much you can squeeze through ports.

you said it its that much better stock for stock... when you start porting then its different comparison.

Default Its Been DOne

I had a friend who had a rb26dett with a single turbo conversion done to his z. It has been done and i will actually be doing that swap on my z in a couple of months with a six speed tranny. if your friend spent 25k and was not able to do it he should hang himself i would hate life if i spent 25k and was not able to accomplish anything. You could put any motor in anything as long as you got the money.

Personally, if I could do any swap/conversion, it would be the one the guys that are making/did make the Z AWD.

if you could care less that he has a 2jz then why the hell would you spend all this time and effort on this post about something you quote "COULD CARE LESS ABOUT"
