Question:
2JZ-GTE- what makes it such a good engine?
2010-12-26 23:48:25 UTC
So I'm a huge fan of MkIV Supra, but most of my friends are into BMW's and are telling me that their "German Engineering" is better than the Supra's 2JZ. So i was wondering what makes the Supra's engine so powerful and able to handle high amounts of horsepower?

LOL at the Fast and Furious answer,yet the car was already a legend before the Fast and Furious films i see the same comments with the Skylines as those have been around since 1957 and won motor sport events over many years again before any films.



The 2JZ is sold de-tuned due to regs in place until Jan 05 so the car was sold in a de-tuned state,What makes these engines great and with some other great engines which where de-tuned is it does not take a mass of mods of a mass of money to release the cars true stock potential in this engines state is around 600bhp which is really great alone,but with further mods we see these engines seeing well over 1000bhp,and another point is what makes these engines great is that they are hardcore, as we can make many engines see high bhp figures but it is how they can cope and the length of time they can cope with that power and the 2jz is a long lasting engine and high power figures.

Ignore the German eengineering commets myself have owned American German and Japanese cars for over 20 years,the best have been Japanese and to be honest the others i have owned all let me down so iam not saying all IE German engineering is bad is every car but i was not impressed with my car as it was not impressive and i look after all my cars.

The 2JZed is a ripoff of the Lencki 6. It was an inline 6 that debuted in 1939 in the Indy 500. It finished 14th. It also pushed out 400hp when it was carbed and even more once it was converted to SFI. If I had the extra cash I would get a Lencki and put a turbo on it and see if I couldn't crank out 1000hp.



The Lencki Six has a monoblock design which is taylor made for higher revs and power. It also helps that a straight 6 has 7 main caps. It really helps to have 5 main caps to distribute the force from combustion. Where as a v6 has 4 main caps and it only has 2 center main caps to distribute the force from combustion and it also has forced coming from 90 degrees, at least in the case of the Buick v6.

Your Beemer friends are posers.



Just tell them if you see them on the side of the road because the electrics have cut out the engine that you'll give them a friendly toot on the horn as you go past. German engineering can't hold a candle to the bulletproof legend that is the 2JZ-GTE. On stock internals it can handle 600hp and even though out of the factory it was rated at 276hp, the Supra is actually pumping around 320hp. Part of that is down to the "T" in the engine code, which denotes that it is in fact the single- or twin-turbocharged model. Although they're not as quick as an ///M car, they're certainly more reliable than one and they can handle a lot more horsepower. Many Supra dragsters have over 1000hp and a daily-driver I've seen in a recent magazine was making over 1100hp.

hype makes it a good engine, from people that drool over them but have no first hand exp making it happen. It takes $$$$ to make anything fast. Supras included. It is a good starting point but most people who own them have money so they can afford a fast modified car. You can **** one up just ad fast as anything else if you do it wrong. So randomly throwing around numbers as to how much power they can make is retarded, how much $$ and skill do u got, and how much relibility are you willing to give up for power.



One difference between the 2jz gte and the non turbo 2jz ge is that the gte has extra oiling to help keep the rings cool.



Tell you dumb as bmw friends that it was a german firm thst designed the 2jz and yamaha built the blick. So they can suck it

Hmm what makes it so great.. good question for someone who knows..



What I know is: Inline 6 setups are known for being reliable.



Toyota makes good engines to start with.



The GTE can handle a good amount of power stock because it already has reinforced pistons and rods.



As far as euro power, its not common, I know it is possible but you need a lot of money to make it really happen. Im talking 400whp plus.



Yes i know the new M series and new Rs audis are fast and have that power stock but most ppl cant afford that...

1)Twin turbos

2)reliable

3)Stock i think it has 600horse

4)Fast and furious??? LOL what a bad answer... But after the fast and furious movie i noticed its harder to find one for sale

5)Very tunable engine... iv seen 1000 and 1500 horse power

6)I have a 1995 supra that was a n/a engine and swaped it for a 2jz and you can notice the diffrence ;)

The Toyota JZ engine family is a series of inline-6 automobile engines. A replacement for the M-series inline-6 engines, the JZ engines were 24-valve DOHC engines. The JZ engine was offered in 2.5 and 3.0 litre versions. 1JZ The 2.5 L (2491 cc) 1JZ version was produced from 1990 to 2007 (last sold in the Mark II BLIT Wagon). Cylinder bore was 86 mm (3.39 in) and stroke was 71.5 mm (2.81 in).[1] It was a 24-valve DOHC engine with two belt-driven camshafts. 1JZ-GE Output for the non-turbo 1JZ-GE was 200 hp JIS (147 kW) at 6000 rpm and 185 ft.lbf (250 Nm) at 4000 rpm. Like all JZ-series engines, the early 1JZ-GE is designed for longitudinal mounting and rear-wheel-drive. All of these models also came with a 4-speed automatic transmission as standard; no manual gearbox option was offered.[1] 1JZ-GTE First Generation 1JZ-GTE in a 1991 Toyota Chaser Third Generation 1JZ-GTE VVTi in a 1989 Toyota CressidaThe 1JZ-GTE employs twin CT12A turbochargers arranged in parallel and blowing through a side-mount or front mount air-to-air intercooler . With an 8.5:1 static compression ratio, the factory quoted power and torque outputs are 280 metric horsepower (210 kW) at 6200 rpm and 363 newton metres (268 ft·lbf) at 4800 rpm respectively. These motors are over square (86.0mm bore x 71.5mm stroke). Yamaha may have had a hand in the development or production of these motors (possibly the head design), hence the Yamaha badging on certain parts of the motor, such as the cam gear cover. In 1991, the 1JZ-GTE was slotted into the all-new Soarer GT. The early generation 1JZ-GTEs combined the inherent smoothness of an inline 6 cylinder engine with the revving capacity of its short stroke and early power delivery of its small, ceramic wheeled turbochargers. The ceramic turbine wheels are prone to delamination in the setting of high impeller rpm and local temperature conditions, usually a result of higher boost. The first generation 1JZ's were even more prone to turbo failure due to there being a faulty one-way valve on the head, specifically on the intake cam cover causing blow-by to go into the intake manifold. Also on the exhaust side a decent amount of oil vapor flows into the turbos causing premature wear on the seals. The later 2nd Gens had this problem fixed and in Japan there was actually a recall in order to repair the 1st Gens, though that does not apply to 1JZ's imported to other countries. The fix is simple, and involves replacement of the PCV valve (2JZ); all parts are available through Toyota. The "third Generation" of 1JZs were introduced around 1996, still as a 2.5 turbo, but with Toyota's BEAMS architecture.[2] This included a reworked head, newly developed continuously variable valve timing mechanism (VVT-i) , modified water jackets for improved cylinder cooling and newly developed shims with a titanium nitride coating for reduced cam friction [3] . The turbo setup changed from parallel twin turbo (CT12x2) to a single turbo (CT 15B). The adoption of VVT-i and the improved cylinder cooling allowed the compression ratio to be increased from 8.5:1 to 9.0:1, making the 1JZ-GTE an interference engine[citation needed]. Even though the official power figures remained at 280 metric horsepower (210 kW) at 6200 rpm, torque was increased by 20Nm to 379 newton metres (280 ft·lbf) at 2400rpm. These improvements resulted in increased engine efficiency that reduced fuel consumption by 10%. The adoption of a much higher efficiency single turbocharger than the twins as well as different manifold and exhaust ports were responsible for most of the 50% torque increase at low engine speeds . This engine was used primarily in Toyota's X chassis cars (Chaser, Mark II, Cresta, Verossa), the Crown Athlete V (JZS170) and in the later JZZ30 Soarer, as the JZA70 Supra was long discontinued by this time. Applications: Toyota Chaser/Cresta/Mark II Tourer V (JZX81, JZX90, JZX100, JZX110) Toyota Soarer (JZZ30) Toyota Supra MK III (chassis code JZA70, Japan only) Toyota Verossa Toyota Crown (JZS170) 2JZ The 3.0 L (2997 cc) 2JZ has been produced since 1991 (first released in the 1991 Toyota Aristo). Cylinder bore was 86 mm (3.39 in) and stroke was 86 mm (3.39 in). VVT-i variable valve timing was added later in 1997 for the 1998 model year. 2JZ-GE The 2JZ-GE is a common version. Output is 220 hp JIS (158 to 169 kW) at 5800 to 6000 rpm and 209 to 220 ft.lbf (283 to 298 Nm) of torque at 3800 to 4800 rpm. It uses Sequential Electronic Fuel Injection, has an aluminum head and 4 valves per cylinder with some versions using VVT-i, along with a cast iron cylinder block. Applications: Toyota Altezza / Lexus IS 300 Toyota Aristo / Lexus GS 300 Toyota Crown/Toyota Crown Majesta Toyota Mark II Toyota Chaser Toyota Cresta Toyota Progres Toyota Soarer / Lexus SC 300 Toyota Supra MK IV [edit] 2JZ-GTE Engine bay of Supra JZA80The 2JZ-GTE is an inline-layout, six-cylinder, belt-driven

the reason why the 2JZ is so popular is because of that damned Fast and the Furious movie. there's nothing special about the it, it just has a higher displacement. bigger engines can hold bigger amounts of power, it's that simple.
