Just depends on what you want. Full out drag I would say 2jz. It has more displacement, and probably a little more potential. As far as everything else(response, revs, weight, etc.) the RB is damn near perfect.

Thats awesome. Great work and bad *** car. I know this will sound like I am being an jerk but, the wheels in my opinion are not up to par with the car. Nor is the painted interior pieces. Other than that I love the car. Is it just me or does that 42r look small in that engine bay?

I see what you're saying however I'd like to add a few things...

The interior is not painted, its custom vinyl. The stock interior has tweed pieces that tend to get ratted out.......I might also pointed out this car started out as a maroon interior'd car. I did a complete black interior swap in addition to doing all the custom vinyl work myself, on top of fitting it all in with the complete 8pt roll cage

The wheels, I agree could also using something 'flashier' or 'more expensive' however these were one of the FIRST two sets of black/polished FN01R-C's in the united states. I obtained them from SPL Parts and if you visit their site my car is pictured there with the wheels.....

My friend had a 90TT Z. The first year with that body was plauged with electrical gremlins. Do you have any issues with yours?

I've owned 3 Z's, had the one pictured above for over 5 years, and have worked on 20+ Z's and have never heard of 90's having electrical issues.....?

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought you put an RB26 into a Chevy Lumina, then I realized that was a "Z34". Thank god.

Nice looking ride!
