Ive been playing with Nissan engines in my personal cars for 10 or so years now, sr20's, vg30's and rb25's. All have been good to me and fun to drive. My favorite is the vg30detts torque and the rb25 neo with its snappy high revs. After the premature failure of my latest compound turbo Neo, I decided it was time for a change.

The 1jz vvti.
I chose this engine for a few reasons. I like the ease of working on inline engines and the smooth revs that come out of them. I also like the exhaust is on the passenger side. It has solid cam over bucket valve train for reliability at high revs. It also has variable intake cam phasing for increase in low end torque. The Rb had cam phasing and it made a noticeable difference, but it only had 2 stages, on or off. The vvti is continuously variable to get the maximum torque out of the engine. This engine also has factory metal head gasket, unlike organic material on Rb. No weak 2 flank oil drive on the Jz like the Rb.
So I tore it down and cleaned everything off.

I ordered a full factory gasket set and changed everything except head gasket. I also ordered new water pump, timing tensioner, timing idler, timing belt, thermostat, and some coil pack connectors. I also had the alternator rebuilt.
