and some say 1JZ motors can also be compared to the likes of earlier RB26s it sh*ts all over 25's... lol and they can handle quite a lot of abuse with their strong internals... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

View the R33 GTR videos on youtube, most of them run a torque splitter allowing the rear wheels to counter most of the power and the front to just tag along for the ride.. RB26 vs 2JZ is a long debate but 2JZ in my opinions ****s all over it if you want big reliable turbo power.

my internally stock, head stock, stock intake manifold, stock TB 1jzgte engine with 190000k;s on it, it took 37 psi and a 50 shot of gas for 4 years and done around 180 passes at the track and probably about the same on the dyno. it made plenty of horsepower and ran 10.17 ets at 137 mph on radials in a 3500 pound car show me a rb 25 or 26 that has done that with that amount of kilometres and hard use and i will stop drinking beer for a month.
