wickmyster Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 How economical are the vvti 1G-FEs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 2JZ-FSE? 2JZ-GE? 1JZ-GE? Small engine in large car is fail, you'll need to give it so much shit to get anywhere it will rule out any potential fuel savings. Plus obvious flaw with a 4 cylinder replacing a 6. I think something big and NA just ticking along would provide decent economy and still have a bit of balls if you need it. The more modern the better as far as economy goes. 1G-FE is a tidy little engine and makes ok power, but would be pretty boring compared to a JZ as a conversion.

wickmyster Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Yeah, I am keen on a 1JZ-GE even a vvti if i can find/afford one. What is a 2JZ-FSe? Obviously F for the narrow angle valves...what do they come in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously F for the narrow angle valves...what do they come in? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_JZ_engine FSE description is at the end, sounds right up your alley but I can't comment on how easy one would be to come by or how reliable they would be, being a relatively early direct injection engine. Seem cool though and good power. Fuel system would be the biggest problem to overcome I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 1jz-fse if you can get one. 200hp and good on gas for a 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 You'll never get the electrics on a FSE going without a headache, good luck going after market, you'd need to get the whole car to steal bits off to get it going JZ all day, 1gfe (beams one) is nice but again later electrics mean pretty much you need to go aftermarket ECU wise So 1/2JZ vvti it is, even turbo they don't use much gas if you drive accordingly go buy a Alto or something to save gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldspark Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 lol u will get so must shit if u put a 4 in there Dont even go 1G-Gay jz it all the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 We can almost lock this thread now haha JZ will have more power, use the same possibly less gas, sound cool, and probably improve the re-sale value of the car over any of the engines you listed Mr Dori off here may have some mounts so its a bolt in job also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanners Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 1uz. Cheap to buy, makes basically no power therefore must be cheap on gas also. Its like 2 beams motors stuck together, but still only making the same power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 1UZ's are good on gas, go check the torque curve/figures and the heads have nothing on a beams 3s, not even close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanners Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Yea im thinking of putting a 1uz in my e34 to save gas. You wouldnt believe how slow and thirsty the M20 525i motor is. I reckon 1uz is the ultimate conversion for so many things, mainly due to cost and simplicity of install. Plus no need for intercooler/plumbing unless you are awesome. Also I meant that 1uz was 1/2 as good as beams. Mainly due to me spending some ridiculous sum on my beams starlet - I need to justify that!

wickmyster Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 I managed 35mpg in my 7M-GE on the Auckland to Hamilton motorway...Couldn't complain at that!!! But was a very painful trip...95-100ks the whole way.... What are the early 90s NA 1JZs like? What would be the easiest install electronically? I was a 1G-GTE but is a widebody aerotop (ga70h)...that why I am going to go to some effort for it as it is my fav jap car LOL 1uz would be way more thirsty than a 1jz right?? as the 1JZs head is way more advanced and has good flow. Though 1UZ has a fe head which where designed for economy...though in the v8s cause to save room I am guessing.... Imagine...1UZ with Beams style heads....

wickmyster Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 What about vvti 2JZ-GE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 So 1/2JZ vvti it is, even turbo they don't use much gas if you drive accordingly As abouve, they aren't to bad to wire up and with a w58 will return pretty good economy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nothingsfree Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Gonna have to agree with goin down the jz route. My jzx90 with a standard twin turbo 1jz still gets about 10km/L, and thats around town. On the open road its epic. The later model vvti ones are even better on gas, and make more power. Get an auto diff or something with long legs so you can keep the revs down, team it up with a w58 and you'll be set. I drive mine everywhere round town in 5th gear, its got more than enough power to happily cruise round like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
