Norbs: The VLT gearbox and the RB20DET gearbox are the same part, I'm positive. They even have exactly the same part number. Maybe it was an RB20DE gearbox you put in instead of an RB20DET? The DE gearbox is very weak and gHey. Or maybe is wasn't a standard VL box?
As for the power figures, I've found about three different sources for it so far, and they are all within about 5kw of eachother, and they all agree:
1G-GZE 127kW
1G-GTE 149kW
RB20DET 160kW
Taken from "http://f2.autospeed.com/cms/A_0206/article.html" in this case.
The closest comparison I found was on http://www.ichiban.com.au/ichiban_engines.htm, and there the RB is still quoted at a higher figure. For the sake of objectivity, I only quoted pages that listed both RB and 1G power figures. It would be a simple matter to trawl the web looking for people quoting ridiculous stock power figures for the RB, and then comparing it to someone who has drastically under-quoted the 1G's power.
I'm also aware that there are three (that I know of) different versions of the 1G-GTE, and the same again for the RB20DET engines. When comparing the newest or oldest evolution of both engines, the RB still out-performs the 1G. The fact that I own, drive and thoroughly enjoy my toyota also go to proving my point that I am being objective about this. I'm afraid the figures just speak for themsleves.
As for the weight issues, I haven't weighed both engines side by side, so I can't say this for certain. All I can say is that they are both cast block, alloy head, twin cam 2 litre straight sixes. As such, should both weigh in at reasonably similar weights. However, I have seen the mess of cast plumbing that the 1G comes with from the factory. This extra plumbing and the fact that it also has an additional turbo, and an extra dump on the exhaust means it should weight slightly more, and occupy slightly more physical space. I'm trying to find some figures on engine weights now, and I'll be the first to admit I'm wrong if you can show me some accurate figures to the contrary.
