Forget the RB25, they are an average engine at best. I had one in my last car a 180sx. Lacks torque for a turbo 2.5, expensive as hell, thin rods and weak ring lands over 200rwkws, high compression. Don't think I'm right? Last I heard the guy who bought my car blew the head gasket on just 12psi and this 'somehow' filled the cyclinder with water bending the rod. Also check out skylinesaustralia for 'broken ring land'.

The 1jz is a FAR superior engine -300rwkw on std internals anyone? that's ALOT more potential than a rb25 for atleast half the engine cost.

My last car had 180rwkw on 10psi but the power curve was very two stage, nothing until 4500-5000rpm. 1jz@12psi would be good for 200rwkw but a much higher average power per/rpm.

Can't believe people on a Toyota forum saying a manual gearbox for a 1jz hard to source? Sure the r154 but ever heard of a w58?

Go the 1jz! For the cost of just a rb26 engine you could have a reliable 600hp 1jz...

Ive seen 1jz half cuts for arount $1500 try getting an rb25 for that....

Where? I'll buy a spare! Smile
