Why 2JZ blow up in Formula D, how to solve that.

[@joshc9846]

This video really opened my eyes on Rad Dan. He's very humble and knowledgable

[@jetsetdnb]

i'm so happy Aaron is doing these with him, i don't think he gets anywhere close to the respect he deserves

Wow, first Rad Dan interview I’ve watched before. I am blown away how knowledgeable yet humble Dan is. Goals.

[@Baksteen_Express]

Some way he gives off a more janky vibe. But this definitely guy knows his stuff

[@shaun54]

Cant beat the jz, but believe it or not around 70% of the cars in D1NZ are RB powered & you almost never see an engine fail during competition 👍

[@Matt_Lanzer_13]

The whole “rb’s are unreliable” stipulation is honestly due to people here in the states cheating out on parts and just lack of knowledge. Down under they’ve got a much better amount of parts and knowledge. Look at Jake drift squid. His s13 had a near stock neo in it for years and he never blew it

[@Inweezy]

@L W I was about to say that , literally rbs are a little complicated to us bc we don’t have that much experience with them compared to the rest of the world

[@Boostlifelex]

Probably because the drift RB’s have mechanical pumps and dry sumps …these dudes are slapping turbo kits on and hitting the top level of competitors

Honestly him comparing the 7M to the RB made my year. I am building a 12:1 7MGE Supra Mk3 for drifting. I already know the fun oil and HG issues, but 7M's are starting to become popular again and I prefer to have pure-bred Supra Mk3 as well.

[@jayveethreefive5214]

Everyone I’ve seen thrash a 7M has blown a head gasket! Is that due to oiling or something else?

[@LoneStarDrift]

@@jayveethreefive5214 They learned a lot of lessons on the 7M and used those to build the 2JZ, which solved pretty much everything you would need to fix about the 7M.

[@sunnyblumen3807]

@@jayveethreefive5214 it’s due to wrong torque spec on head bolts from factory and shitty gaskets. Also the oil pump does need a couple upgrades to be efficient. Once you add upgraded oil pressure relief spring, less restrictive oil line, MLS head gasket and ARP head studs you’re pretty solid.

I’m sure this is mentioned somewhere in the video and I just missed it but Rad Dan doesn’t just rev his engines lower but also he used to not run VVT so even if the rev limit was high it makes no power up there so would never be banging off the rev limiter

Let's juice this down. Bottom line when you spend money on a big boi car dont cheap out. Just get a dry sump.

[@Daniel-RunToRoyal]

7M=RB! 😂😂😂 Love it!!! Also, so the 2JZGTE takes 5.3 quarts of oil, will adding 6 even quarts hurt anything?

[@SAPOJETSBMX]

So regarding the front oil sump swaps like the Cressida and 240 and others chassis that require a front oil sump at what horse power would you recommend adding extra oil if we don’t run an external oil pump?

[@dilsher12]

Extra oil and a good baffle system in the sump go a long way

[@bigjdm5460]

A Tomei oil pan baffle installed in in front sump JZ wouldn’t have stopped the oil gravity situation?

[@despizedicon]

Common Sense goes a long way. This is why Dan is Rad.

[@FaworDrifts]

I literraly wanted to say near very end, that you should ask about Adam's engines :D And boom. Adam was iron block 3,4 with wet sump and as I good remember he was not revving very high, but fast Dan's answer with front sump explains a lot....and overall, Worthouse engines in Peter's car were not so reliable as many think ;)

At the end of the video, Dan mentions that he knows the motor isn't the best in the series, but it's the motor that came in his car and he really likes to keep it pure bred. Is he referring to his motor not being the best of the JZ series of motors because he uses the Non VVTi 2JZ-GTE that came in the supra vs a VVTi 2JZ-GTE out of an Arristo or is he saying the 2JZ isn't the best motor in FD and there other motors that are better like an LS?

From the context it sounds like hes talking within the JZ line, because the interviewer asked if hes making any changes to his JZ setup specifically in the question. Could be wrong though
