come on, an engine that's got a liter over the fa20, stock twin turbos and was put in a car supposedly making 276hp......
it is old tech and like others said, if you put that engine in it you only want to drift or drag, of course it messes up the balance of the car.
I'm not bashing on the fa20, but saying that it is in every way better than the 2jz is just ridiculous.

It doesn't matter if its e85 or not, the point is it cant be said what the FA20 can or cant handle yet. Its still way to soon to make judgement how reliable this engine is. If this conversation were being had in 2-3 years I would say yes you could go one way or the other. No one knows which is better right now, its just opinion.
Also lets say this does 800hp on average before failure and a 2J does say 1000hp on average before failure... which is really a better motor? The bigger oem turbo motor or the smaller high comp na motor? Comes down to how well it does for what it has over raw final hp numbers.
The 2JZ was only advertised in Japan as 276 because of their agreement. Here it was advertised as 320, tho it also had bigger injectors and different cams in the US than in japan.
As I said before, Im not saying either is better right now. Im saying you cant say which is better yet. I've had hell idk 6-7 2J and 1Js and now this. I like both engines, and hope to see a future inline 6 still to surpass both engines.
