7M-Brisbane Forums Junkie Location: Brisbane Registered: November 2002	Re: 1JZ into VL Commodore Conversion Mon, 02 August 2004 13:23 I'm going to be a bit defeatis here, but I'd suggest you're best selling up and getting a VL Turbo. You get a better diff (sometimes even with LSD), rear discs, bigger front brakes, marginally better suspension, and 15" wheels from the factory... it also happens to come with a turbocharger, larger injectors and a better factory power output. As much as it's nice to be a bit different, engine conversions aren't the easiest thing in the world even for a technically minded person. It will probably only be a few grand changeover - you might even find one for around the $10k mark that someone has spent heaps of money on. NB: Don't bother with twin cam head swaps on the RB's unless you're chasing 8 second passes or sustained big revs (eg. circuit racing)... and even then I wouldn't use any but the RB26 head.... hydraulic lifters are poo Twincam is just one of those things people automatically assume you need to make power. Yes it's ideal but for the money and effort you can normally get better gains elsewhere. [Report message to a moderator]
