is you want to do a build between these 2 in the US and for being the more stout motor get the 2 JAY-Z hahah, it has more of a supporting base in the US, it can make stupid power, as far as a twin turbo set up ive seen them up to 6XXHP after that most just go single turbo and shoot for 1200HP. there are a gang bang of mod's in the US for this engine.

now as for the RB26det its a great engine, but you gotta take it from the jap perspective as far as how the engine and skyline and the modding of them actually plays out.

japs always aim for a perfect all around car, meaning 350-480hp with great suspention and brake etc. thats y you never see many rb's in the OH SHIT power ranges. it would be fround appon in there car society by the purist.

so the modification pool is limited to moderat hp ranged and everything is aimed and being pretty looking with reliable moderate fun sized power and power bands for the RB.

so stick with a 2jz for availibility of oem and aftermarket parts for all needs of power.

someone did a very good write up on comparing the evo engine and the RB engine and for real it came out to the evo engine being more stout and pretty much a 4 cyl RB engine. so ya stick with the 2jz
