pedrosixfour Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) It is known as a 1.5JZ engine mate. There is plenty of them bolted into various makes & models. I can't give you anything on the pros and cons though I know some say it "flows better than a 2JZ", but if you google 1.5JZ it might help with making a decision.

Justin Bieber Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Supraforums has more information regarding this, it is worth a search there, I was looking into 1jz's a couple of weeks ago and someone over there did actually do a flow comparison between a 1jz and 2jz head, the 2jz flowed better. As for response I couldn't tell you unfortunately. Good luck with your search! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Both these Yamaha developed heads flow superbly, i would use whatever is in the best condition, a lot are in need of valve guides these days and there lie demons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plan was to overhaul the 1Jz head and just swap over when needed , VSS are 21 years old on mine now Still going strong so not touching anything Just doing my research if it is a good idea , rather than waiting till I need to do it One of the pros of the 1jz is response over the 2jz from what I am told Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I mean the valve GUIDES not the stem seals, the stem seals need changing as a matter of course. Worn guides = poor dynamic compression and lower power out. Power is in the head, cams and valve sealing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
