Which engine can make more power: RB26DETT or 2JZ-GTE?

Both can exceed 1,500 HP with proper building. The 2JZ-GTE has a slight advantage in factory internal strength (closed-deck block) but the RB26DETT has more aftermarket support for time attack and circuit racing. At stock internals, both typically handle 600-700 HP on pump gas with supporting modifications.

Next: plan the move

Found the car. Understand the handover.

Before making promises about collection, coordinate the inspection, paperwork, seller release and transport. Give each part of the purchase its own check.
