You know the I-6 RB26s are tuned to 1000+ hp time and time again as well. there is a RB drift car 350z. perhaps someone could chime in on the disadvantages of going one way or another?
From what Ive read so far, the 2JZ is preferred because of the strong stock bottom end and produces more torque due to the .4L difference, but with a built RB26DETT it revs higher and has similar power outputs especially if you do a long stroke build to RB30DETT, it's pretty much identical to the 2JZ.
It comes down to how much you are willing to spend, also the turbo placement on the 2JZ is on the side, so the Twins won't fit in our engine bay, where the turbos are bottom mounted on the RB and MAYBE could clear the steering rack, then in this case it'd make more power with a RB than a 2JZ with single turbo.

In regards to the stock twins on the 2JZ, no one keeps those if you want over 400hp or so. So no problems with turbo placement as everyone goes single anyway

how much HP are you aiming at.
basically, between 300 to 500hp you can run the 2jz with little to no modifications to stock internals, when you are going to 1000hp the amount of money you going to spend is the same as an RB and potentially a RB will be more daily driving friendly at 1000hp than 2JZ single turbo at 1000hp.
personally with such similar specs, i'd rather put a Nissan engine in a Nissan. call me weird but that'd be more impressive than putting a Toyota engine in a Nissan despite it's the best Toyota engine. It would almost be like once you cross the brand boundaries people will start asking...oh why didnt you just put a big block in it and call it a day, it makes the same hp with less money. you know what Im trying to say? on that note there is a Z with a corvette engine swap.

This is just one example. Of course the Vq's will produce more tq, they already have more displacement, and with a stroke and bore they will have even more displacement. Dont get me wrong, the 2jz is an awesome motor, and ive rode in a supra with 700whp and that thing is a monster, but these two motors cannot be compared. I also love the rb26's..i have one sitting in my garage. The Rb's and 2jz fully built net similar hp. These builds to get them to 1000+ hp can run you 40-50k, not counting the money it will cost you to custom swap the motor in. For less than the cost of building a 2jz or an RB you could have a VQ with more power and tq.
