Why do people love the 1.5JZ ?! 1JZ vs 2JZ GE! battle!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Dave has been open about his dislike of the 1JZ head. But, he has realized that he is only judging the head by it's looks and needs to know why people want to stick a 1JZ head on top of a 2JZ short block. So, he scoured the internet researching the why, he stuck it on the flow bench and watched KZread video's and listened to the different combinations. He pits it against his pick of what could be better. Does the 1JZ seduce him? Watch and find out!

    The best thing you can do to a 1JZ, is to install a 2JZ GE head, and make it into a 1.2JZ. -Short stroke, high flow head, 11,000rpm, 10:1 compression ratio, 800-1000hp.

    headgames isn't talking about a stock cam. He's talking about a cam that's for the 1k hp range won't flow at 11k. You need a bigger cam rated for more power to make hp at those revs. Could you rev it to 11k while making peak 1khp? Sure but the power is going to be diving hard after 9500 where that 1k cam is going to run out if breath.

Throw some aftermarket valves in them, some port work and it really wakes them up. Just a good bang for the buc. And like Dave said parts availability. Great Video. 👌🏻

    I live in Thailand and 1JZs and 2JZs are a dime a dozen here. You can get every variation of JZ at reasonable prices, and they are commonly swapped into BMWs, and Nissan Cefiros. The 2JZ-GTEs are getting expensive here now. Here in Thailand they don't call it a 1.5JZ they call it 3JZ, which confused the hell out of me at first. The draw here is if you have a nice 1JZ setup with a single turbo, stand alone, etc... with a blown up bottom end, you can just throw in a 2JZ-GE block (maybe change the pistons) and keep your current turbo and electronics without too much effort and money. Then you get a nice torque upgrade as well. Also, just a clarification as the video didn't state it clearly. The 2JZ-GE non vvti has the same rods as the GTE block. The pistons however are not the same, and the GE ones are weaker. The 2JZ-GE vvti has thinner and much weaker rods. Something to consider if you want to go down the path of building a vvti setup with high boost. You can commonly find 2JZ-GE non vvti rods for sale cheap enough. Then throw a set of 9.0 : 1 forged pistons in there and you've got a solid platform on a reasonable budget to make some power.

    Makes sense to me to swap a 2JZ short block under the 1JZ head you already have set up, if you're not going for massive power. You already have EVERYTHING plumbed and rigged. A swap to a 2JZ head means a lot of replumbing that's unnecessary in many cases.

    So because of the port location, the 2jz will always be better. Absolutely right about having your port straight as possible because it will need less boost to make power because of flow. No restrictions on flow. 1jz needs to make more boost to make more power than the 2jz because of the exhaust flow.

    Hi Dave, I have a 1.5JZ in SC300 because the top end is from a Soarer. Switching the head to a 2JZ GTE VVTI is the goal, but the problem is the manifolds, and valve covers need to be swapped as well. If you’ve already got a 1JZ head, it makes the most sense to stick with it. Parts availability for the GE also seems to be a problem.

    @@headgames it’s not necessarily that parts aren’t available for the GE, it’s just that so many were made for the GTE and GTE VVTI that the options aren’t nearly as plentiful. Switching the manifolds also probably means custom exhaust modifications (down pipe and dump pipe). I’m sure there’s a few more parts that aren’t the same or require modification as well. This sort of thing gets expensive quickly…. Toyota got a little carried away with all the different cylinder heads and manifolds during the JZ production run, there’s nothing wrong with the GE or GTE heads and manifolds, they should have just stuck with one for everything. I’m planning on buying an aristo for whenever I do the swap just to butcher parts from it. Thanks for the great video Dave!

That's why I have a naturally aspirated LS. It's a pickup truck, not a top fuel car, so I'm not trying to win the world. I want to build a 1.5JZ with a single G40 turbo in a replica of a 1930's race car, but with A-arm suspension. From 14PSI to 18 PSI, and a good cam choice, it should sound cool, rev to 6000-7000 RPM and be an enjoyable thing. People, you can't get overly competitive.

    Hi there. I'm a JDM "tuner" who started building carb-turbo engines here in Japan starting around 1987, and still do stuff on the side to this day...although we've moved from carburetors to Motec, Haltech, etc... Anyway, I didn't watch the whole video (apologies), but I have answers for you. At first, it was a few people who already had a set-up 1J, and put a stock 2J block under it for the increased stroke. Some people saw this, and the rumors of the 1.5J being some kind of serious thing that made more power than just swapping in a whole 2J took off. Then the weaboos got ahold of it, and it became some kind of legend that was built with JDM Takumi fairy magic. Keep in mind that these are the same people who think parody like The Fast and the Furious (I only saw half of the first one) is a documentary. Anyway...long story short... It started with a few dudes trying to get some low buck (yen) performance gain, and ended with the popularity it has (had) for the same reason the FNF movie franchise did so well...because there are a lot of really fucking stupid people in the world.

    I think mainly the reason that these swaps are done are for cost.. for a budget turbo for the longest time was parts availability and cost. when you wanted to boost your old thick rod 2jz SC300 or GS300 you could swap in the Non VVT 1JZ head as it was already single turbo with a forward facing intake and most of the sensors were plug and play. Now most of the thick rod 2j's have disappeared and you have to build a bottom end anyway, plus there are tons of ebay turbo manifolds and forward facing intakes for the GE heads so why wouldn't you build a 2jzge-nat?

    1Js were cheap.for less than 1500, you had a complete powertrain with ecu. Way more affordable than trying to boost a GE. Now that a swap goes for 3500, a 1500 GE is viable option.

  • @b3nny90

    This is a very interesting comparison and interesting argument/debate. I personally built my 1.5j purely for parts availability. My 1jz head already has cams, springs and over sized valves and manifolds custom made for my setup and I grenaded the bottom end. Made the poor man's stroker motor a really viable setup for me. Allows me to use the extra capacity for a larger turbo. My current setup is over 1200hp. If you look at Goleby over in Australia they have consistently made well over 1200-1500hp or more out of 1jz gte engines complete. It's not rocket science it's been tried and tested time and time again. The vvti stuff is awesome because it allows you to move the power band easier but realistically most jz heads (1 and 2jz) making power are stock ports anyway.

    Nice to see actual real numbers get further public exposure! I don’t think you were too negative towards it, just stating visual facts. We made 1100hp at the hubs with a 1.5jz/7975/powerglide combo at 36psi. For which we are currently swapping to an 8082. So I certainly think that they have their place up to/around 1000hp if you already have all the supporting hardware in place and don’t want to change it all out. In saying that, we also have a 2JZ-GE head being built for the aforementioned engine when we want to step up to a proper sized turbo and actually go fast. 😅

There is no gain from it, its a ridiculous conversion. 2jz with 2jz head make bigger power and thats why you see big power drag/drift cars are majority 2jz not 1.5jz or 1jz The internet does strange things to some people.
