hehehe... in my reading up on this, i came across this corker of a comment:

"THe 1jz motor revs faster than the 2j because of the head design.
THe cubic inches stays the same. In Japan all the "big dawgs" are running this 1.5jz setup so they can have the torque of the 2j but the faster revving of the 1j, THe compression again stays the same. You gotta remember in Japan they have a horsepower regulation...that is why the skyline, and the 1j & 2j (mk3 &mk4) all have the same factory horsepower ratings of 280ps. THat is why Toyota did not put the 1jz head on the 2j. Also They did this in order to make more torque down low"

and leigh - i agree that yes, 0.5L capacity increase makes a world of difference (der!). and as an upgrade to the 1jz, yes, great idea, especially (as the japs do) if you have endelss access to 2jz blocks etc.

however, consider ::

a) the fact that when it comes to getting the engine number changed (which is on the block!) its going to be perfectly obvious that the capacity has been increased beyond the 'non engineerable' 15% - thus the 'stealth' justification is void.

b) its a lot of fart assing about putting a 1jz head on the 2jz block, why not just drop a whole engine in (unless, of course youve already done significant mods to the 1jz head - or just happen to have a long block sitting around)

c) if youre planning a berserk build, i fail to see why you choose the 1jz head, even if the 1jz head was mildly advantageous over the 2jz head, if you were truly serious about modifying the engine, any of these 'stock' differences would be lost the second you switched on the die grinder.
