1JZ vs 2JZ - which is better?

TOMDYE · 03-30-2013, 07:05 PM

Any expereince out there concerning the 1JZGTE vs the 2JZGTE and installing the either nto a MK3 (1989)? Just curious. As far as I know, the basic difference between the 2 engine models is Smog controls and emissions (1JZ = non-US / 2JZ = meets US standards). Is this correct , and there are no other differences?

Has anyone installed a 1 or 2/JZ motor into a MK3 model vehicle? Any issues to be aware of?

I am thinkin of replacing my 7MGTE for a 1/2 JZ motor, but want to understand what I am up against from the vast experienced people in this forum.

Thanks!!!! Tom
