I was watching a YT video of racing shop do a full rebuild on the 2JZ and started to wonder if anybody's done this transplant or why you wouldn't. I'd much rather have a Toyota inline six than a Chevy if I went to that time and expense.

The 1fz isjust as capable as any jz at making stupid power if not more due to the extra displacement. there is a plethora of aftermarket internals, rods, pistons, cams and stroker cranks, even billet front facing intake manifolds and turbo manifolds. As far as tuning while there aren't many plug n play ECU's wiring up any of the available standalone is a cake walk. Don't get too discouraged by the lack of performance boosts you aren't finding on mud.. its just not what the croud here really desires.. no disrespect at all to anyone here. People here desire suspension performance vs engine imo. But yes literally you can do anything a jz can do and more except have VVTI.How? I’ve never seen anything suggesting there’s tuning options for our motors. Is the fz an iron block close deck design?
I mentioned you but i didn't know who you were, just that i saw your build. nice project, it has an R series swap too correct? how does it drive? I know how boosted JZ's operate but like i was saying i figured the the high revving aspect isn't best suited to the LC speed/engine operating range, don't get me wrong i love what JZ's can do but i figure why not just keep the added displacement +boost??? got any vids of your rig in action?Dang why was I not mentioned
Build thread is F2j hades

On the highway on stock gears and 37s it’s fine if you’re cool with burning gasI mentioned you but i didn't know who you were, just that i saw your build. nice project, it has an R series swap too correct? how does it drive?

What is it exactly you are trying to do anyway? And to your question above, yes the 1fz is a closed deck iron block design just like the 2jz
