GTRLux- If thats a late model car it will have a 1J 2.5 single turbo with VVTI.

The 1JZ can happily do about the same HP on stock internals as an RB26, and the 2JZ can do more, with better powerband to boot.

The JZs are better full stop IMO, though RBs and JZs are both great engines.

Annoying thing is I have a car that SHOULD have a 1JZ in it as standard, but has a bloody RB26 in it, lol.
