I saw that posted before, but it is wrong. Let's pick it apart some to see some flaws in the logic: >VG30DETT is a stronger MOTOR than the 2JG-GTE period!!!
that's why you see all those VG30DETT's running 1000 hp on stock internals, and no Supra engines do (cough) >VG30- BORE/STROKE 3.43 X 3.27(Tip-1995 Bore a bit bigger)
2JG- BORE/STROKE 3.39 X 3.39
Alot of people dont know that our bore is larger!
and as you know that equals TORQUE That is wrong. Traditionally, larger bore= more HP, longer stroke= more torque. 320 hp is more than 300 HP any way you look at it. And the fact that one engine has to rev HIGHER than the other to obtain that HP is not a good thing. If you knew how the HP figure is derived, you'd see that the higher an engine revs, the higher the HP output will be. If it revs higher AND has lower HP, that engine will feel weaker when you drive it (less torque) and deliver lower quarter mile times. In theory this shouldn't be the case but the world is not ideal and that's just the way it is. After a low revving V-8 kills you at the track, try to explain to him how your high revving motor should be able to keep up with him.On top of that, a crankshaft on a I6 has 7 main bearings, while the crank on the V6 sits on 4 main bearings. Therefore, the bearings are strained more on the V6. In addition, I6's are internally balanced to to the design. On top of that, I6 engine blocks are usually thicker and heavier,making them capable of handling more power. When Supra people say their I6 is better than the Z engine, most of the Nissan fans bring up the Skyline engine in Nissan's defense... another I6. The I6 is a better design as far as power production is concerned
