Toyota JZ vs Chevy LS -- which engine is better?

To say the 2jz absolutely crushed the LS in power and reliability is absurd!!! Dude went ludicrous mode!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

Here in australia i wanna know where i can find a 500 dollar 2j 😂😂

the 2zj also came in the lexus gs300s, sc300s, and is300s. Anything that was a 300 in lexus at the time was 2jz. you can pull one of those from a junkyard np.

No,no,no,no... RB power!!!

At the end of they day it’s all preference do you want a nice screaming V8 or a boost ready straight 6

LS every day

I don't know what JDM importer you have a plug with, but two grand for a 2JZ turbo?! More like four grand for a 1J

2jz requires more of a craftman ship understanding while ls is far easier and more convenveneint. While 2j can be pushed more farther u rly need to know what u r doing and be willing to put that money. Its a shame toyota won't dabble wit mkaing more amazinf engineered blocks but ls will always be thriving

To many 2jz fan boys that will never own one.. anyone can get a ls1 an anyone can tune one.

What about the barra engine😊

r154 is not a 6speed

"There isn't a JZ jamboree"

...yet...

I got a 1996 Toyota tercel all original.and that's my dream built a 2jz or 1jz I know is pretty expensive but it's worth it.

3 years later and the cost of motors have trippled in price

Cool video but who tf is this guy 😂

300 thousand miles, piff ha ha, my 2000s toyota camry LE has 511,000 on the original engine, 300 thousand ha rookie numbers

What did I have on my wall as a kid? Porsche. Of the two, I always thought Ferrari was the sexier looking one. Lambos are cool, but the curvier look of something like the Enzo just does it for me.

Porsche is still my fave supercar brand tho.

Weight distribution is one factor you forgot to mention. Depending on what you want to do the LS is going to provide a better weight distribution by being shorter and being able to sit further back.

Привет американским друзьям!

Немного хочется высказать про JZ и Chevy Small-Block в России как обстоят дела тут по их доступности и цене.

С JZ тут проблем никаких нету, купить двигатель можно без проблем в России на любой практически более менее популярной разборке. 1JZ-GTE у нас больше популярен из-за его цены, и то что его ставили много куда компания Toyota (тем более в популярные в России JDM модели по типу Mark II, Cresta, Chaser X90-100). Хоть цены со временем выросли (как всегда это бывает), но всё равно многие дрифтеры которые собираются посещать какие-то конкурентно способные соревнования например RDS Europe, SPB Matsuri, Drift Лето и другие выбирают 1JZ-GTE или UZ серию (от 1 до 3UZ). Цена кстати начинается на 1JZ-GTE от 3700$ где-то но и то всё зависит от состояния мотора и комплекта его.
Проблема заключается в том, что из-за высокой стоимости R154 коробки люди ещё вкладывают и покупают коробку от ZF например GS6-37DZ и свап комплект к нему.
Если говорить про 2JZ-GTE то он дороже и где-то 5.000$ начинается цена. Его по большей части предпочитают дрифтеры в том же RDS GP из-за его дешевизны и наличия запчастей.

Теперь про Chevy Small Block. Можно сказать одно что - очень дорого. LS стоит очень дорого в отличии от Штатов (и наверное Европы), найти запчасти в наличии в регионе кроме как западной части страны попросту трудно не говоря уже про тюнинг запчасти которые покупают под заказ со Штатов. Впринципе есть решение ввиде GM L92, LQ9 и других более дешёвых альтернатив но они не пользуются спросом так как про них мало кто знает, а если и V8 брать то Toyota UZ (так руководствуются люди строящие проекты).

Если моё мнение высказывать про эту многовековую борьбу то - Chevy Small-Block. Всё таки вес и в общем-то компактность решает + это атмосферный мотор и можно построить аутентичный рестомод Волги на этом моторе чтобы было всё по ноухау. К тому же LS предоставляет больше возможностей по тюнингу чем нежели JZ.
Но всё равно, в России пока такая ситуация что JZ тут популярнее и будет ещё долгое время пользоваться спросом. Тем более когда цены на JZ дойдут до полнейшего абсурда то люди будут смотреть и развивать Toyota UZ.

Its all down to preference. If you prefer V8 go for LS if you prefer I6 go for JZ. Both engines are great but the LS is easier to get. If you're a guy who imports you can get a JZ

I love it when people call pushrods archaic . The overhead cam engine was made first .

nah jz ez dub

I have owned 2jz for 20 years.this is just another dumb video of vs 2jz the planet knows who is the boss
And its the 2jz

I had a 5.3 and it died after 320,000 extremely hard and abused miles towing way over the towing capacity driving on a bad lifter and cam for years and it was still running when it was finally retired due to frame rot but I ran that engine almost at max rpm the entire time

My buddy knows a guy who swapped a 2jz into a JDM 300zx and ended up making 700 HP at the wheel.

to me the LS is a deep, roaring, powerful sensation to the ears but something about the classic 2j-2step and rev limiter makes me think of a crackhead zooted off 9 five hour energies.

So what you’re telling me is that there is a replacement for displacement?

Where can i get an LS crate engine?

What site?

Congratulations toyota❤

Wait a minute your LS 5,7L just 350hp. And the bmw x5M 2017 4.4L 575 HP. what.

What about RB26 😂

For me it comes down to application and versatility, economics and logistics. How many vehicles are powered by each engine? How many are still on the road? How cheap and modifiable are they? Millions of vehicles use the ls platform from busses and RV'S to passenger cars and two door civics😂. It's THE BEST ENGINE MADE IN ALL OF HISTORY!!! Don't get me wrong I do not beleive in brand loyalty but CONTEXT is very important when talking about the advantages of different engines.

2jz is king end of story

Can't believe this guy actually thought a JZ could produce more power than an LS. It doesn't matter if you supercharge or put twins on a 2jz, an LS would do that with 2 more pistons. The LS could handle and dish out more power but this is most definitely a JDM biased channel lmao

Arguing about making horsepower is all about how deep your pockets are.

Nothing against tuners but I would rather have a large comfortable engine producing power at lower RPM than a smaller higher revving engine producing the same horses. Also, since I would be using it as a daily driver, I really like the fact that I can just go to Autozone and buy parts for it.

That’s just me though. Culture is for weak will idiots.

i have a project car I'm working on what's the best website to look up engines on other facebook

Barra on top mate

I can't believe what a big deal the supra became. Lexus makes F models an is500.

The JZ is definetely more plentiful around the world than the LS. Over here in North America the LS is king for availability and price

Is the LS as bullet proof as 2JZ

Where my k series people at 😅

That boost goes a lot further when you started with 400+ instead of 2 😂

Nothing compares to the 2JZ engine, Nothing!

My grand mothers mini van is pushing an impressive 175 hp and like 50 torque? Lmao

I love both engines and have swapped plenty of LS engines but my next project is a 36 Chevy truck going onto an S10 frame (that I'll reinforce for rigidity and strength) but I'm using a 2jz that's already built with a single 74mm turbo and a T56 trans mated to a Ford 9" rear end

Barra>LS>2jz

JZ is better in my opinion

LS. Easy.
