Its nice, but it still raises the question.... Why put a Nissan engine in a Toyota ???

Very much so, what they should have done is put the toyota engine in the nissan.

Been done already - http://soarercentral.com/sc-forum/messages/285/4874.html
It could be the same car though.

Been done as well :-)

I remember in a Hot4's cover I saw a few months back, there was a S13 Silvia with a blingy 1JZ setup under the bonnet. Didn't bother reading about it though..

The toyota engine to nissan transplant has been done many times before and there is a very good reason for it.

There is no point doing the nissan to toyota transplant as the toyota motors are much stronger, this has also been proven many times before.

I was in getting some tyres on the weekend and saw a zoom mag which had a Porsche 928 in it (the v8 one) and they had put a 1uz in it and turbo'd it. They were right up there in power and looking like they would get 400+ rwkw out of it without breaking a sweat. That particular transplant was not going down well with the porsche club I bet hahaha.

Maybe so from the factory, but if you're willing to build the RB26 then it will make more power.

The bore/stroke of the RB26 makes it a high revving engine. Few of my friends are running built motors with 10,000+ rev limits.
10,000rpm will ensure basically any turbo you strap to the side will spool.
Hence why Ant over here is running 2x T04Z's and making 880rwhp.

Anyone know how much power a 1JZ has made in Australia?

Don't know why these damn japs bothered with a RB26.

A 2JZ with the same mods would make more power anyways.

Couldnt you do the same thing with a 1jz/2jz?

In this instance i can see that the aim was to be different, i dont want to take away from that.

...But in real life if you wanted power + performance + stregnth and you had the power...

You also have to remember that a block for a RB that is able to support that much horsepower cost about 50k. Put that into you 2J and you will generate over 1500rwhp.

There was a supra in the US a few years back that maxed out dynos at 1600rwhp with more boost too go. I think it ran a 6.75 as a street driveable car.

He spent 65k US on the complete car.

I don't remember the exact specs but I think he was running a redline at 9.5 or 10krpm.

I have been looking for a link but I have not been able to find one. The above information comes from my memory but maxing out a the dyno at 1600rwhp and the 65k US is definitely correct.

My sisters other half is currently running a wunjay with 768 at the fly. That motor owes him nearly $40k, then we are talking about custom made billet pistons, rods, crank, all tungsten alloy (or something like that), and just about anything else that would fail at 40psi

Off topic, but... something that has seemed to be forgotten here lately is RELIABILITY. If you want a daily driver with 300+ at the treads, be prepared to pay at least $20k on the motor alone. I refuse to believe that it can be done for any less and retain full factory reliability. If anyone wants to argue that point I'm all ears, providing that you have a 1J or 2J that has been running 300+ for the last 10 years with nothing more than regular oil changes as maintenance to back up your case!

Give him a break, he couldn't afford it after spending 20K to rebuild his RB motor to make it as strong as a JZ motor.

Eh, the RB's get some respect, they can really stick it to the 2J, providing you have the funds to back it up. I've seen an R34 toast a Top Secret supra, that's no easy task, but then agin, the skyline build did cost a bit more!

Can't deny they can put down the power... then again the number of Skylines I've seen sitting on the side of the road spewing liquids over the years...
