For example, look at the 350z or even the gs 35 which are the same motor which is a vq35. Now you cant tell me for stock block to stock block that the vq35 is a better motor.

The 2jz stock can put out more than 800to the wheels without any problems. You can barely get a stock vq35 to hit 550 without having internal problems. If you dont beleive me I have the dsport mag and people who own the car to prove it. We can talk all day about these matters but what its going to come down to is what really works and what reality says to us.

I can show you a handful of supras that have reached the benchmark of 800rwhp on stock bottom ends. O the other hand, it would literaly be a challenge for me to find 1 350z or g35 or any other v6 for that matter that has reached that very same mark and works great on the stock bottom end.

okee the I6 vs V shaped motors .. i think your very wrong on that.. people with mustangs can pump out 800rwhp easily with very little money.. its a V8 and they dont run into balancing issues..

the I6 idea of better balancing is not the issue why the 2jz makes monster power relatively easily.. its the whole design of the engine plus the materials used.. forged pistons+rods on a iron cast buttom end.. all toyotas engines have insane crankshafts..

800whp on a stock engine?.. i would think you would have to change the cams to do that.. plus thats on race fuel..


there are daily driven 500whp on street gas 1uz-fe's out there.. 14-15PSI.. stock engine.. its not the buttom end that has the issue with any toyota engines.. alot of them are built like a tank.. vz, jz, uz.. even the 3sgte has a very strong buttom end.. pumping out 400whp on a 2 litre I4 on street gas.. its been done..

oh and here's an article about balancing of a I6 and V6
