I had a nice sunny day today so i got the air compressor out again and painted all the parts in the engine bay for a bit of bling!
I had done it before in blue!
Now its purple!

"Yamaha" is because the head on the 1JZ is made by them. That is why it flows better than the 2JZ head that is made by Toyota. and that is why people make 1.5ZJ engines! bigger capacity with the better head.
I think.... |

James, 1-what type of paint did you use? 2-do you have to do anything special to get the paint to stick to the plastic(other than just sanding it)
Thanks |

I sanded the plastic then used normal all purpose primer on the plastics, Then I got a tin of paint made up to the colour I wanted. The paint I used was enamel because it is a harder paint over acrylic. Enamel also has a gloss in it so there is no need for a clear coat.
I had the blue paint in the engine bay for about 6 months and it was fine didn’t peal off or anything.
I re sprayed because I had the engine changed recently and things got scratched and so on in the process. |

I thought it was so they could use 1JZ turbo set up and electronics? So its simpler than putting in a 2JZ... Actually come to think of it I think we've seen this argument before. |

spray cans suck! can never get a consistant flow of paint and so on..
i used air compressor with a with a spray gun. like they use to paint cars.

Nope just enamel paint mixed to a colour i wanted! the plastic parts to get warm but the plastic can withstand the heat so can the paint.
The end of the week i will have turbos in (hopefully) so ill post pictures then! |

The ONLY reason to go the 1.5JZ road instead of just a complete engine swap is so that you can keep your existing 1JZ head work. Flowbench tests show that a stock 2JZ head flows about the same as a completely worked up 1JZ head, so the 1JZ head is NOT better. |

Its better for some applications..

Such as? It flows worse, so why (other than to keep existing turbo and cam work, etc...) would you possibly choose it over a 2JZ head? |

Yeah, we definitely had this argument before. Its pointless - one eyed "1JZ is the best engine in the universe and can produce more power than a cruse ship engine" worshipers can't be swayed.  |

I reckon the main advantage of a 1.5JZ is the fact that it is the ultimate sleeper. Only a keen eye would be able to notice a 2JZ bottom end underneath a 1JZ head. |

Well, flow rate isn't everything. Port length, shape and valve size etc determine flow velocity at varying valve lifts. Thats makes up the power curve of an engine, not max flow rate.
Higher port velocity is more suitable on a lower revving engine where the focus is on low to midrange torque and turbo response rather than outright power.
Which brings me back to the point, the 1JZ head is better for some applications.
It can't be looked at it as bluntly as you're suggesting. There's a difference between restriction from bad design, cast marks etc, and restriction from valve/port size. |
