    It's amazing to think that variants of this engine was in service for close to 17 years. In Japan, it was used in Mark IIs until they updated the car to the Mark X in 2007.

    The 2.5L 1JZ even served to be part of the Toyota's 5.0L V-12 (the 1GZ & 2GZ). Toyota combined two JZs at the crank to make the V-12 and stuck it in its Century Limousine.

    The V-12 was famously used in Top Secret's 222mph 1000hp+ Supra.

    The I6 is a victim of a world obsessed with FWD packaging. As the volume car platforms progress inexorably towards complete FWD domination, so goes the I6 blocks. Even the mighty GTR has to make do with a bent-6. Pretty soon the BMW I6 will be the lone soldier battling on, bravely resisting the need to turn engines around and destroy driving dynamics and pure, inline-6 smoothness. Next time you see a 130i burbling past on the street, raise a little salute for the last small car with a big 'ol straight six pointing forwards, just the way the car gods intended. #i6engine

    Metal head gasket and a bunch of bolt ons and your JZ will reliably deliver 600+ at the rears with a good tune.

    I had a G series as well, the 1GGTE. Put a whole in the radiator and didn't realise until the engine had burnt all the oil overheating. BUT no gasket gone or anything like what happened with my Nissan RB engine, just a plug popped out of the manifold. Bit of tar and a new plug and away we went.

    They say that hooked up to an engine dino the G series will take 50,000 rpm before shooting pistons out. For how long who knows... #i6engine

    Sigh... The modern V6s, like in the Camry just don't stir the soul anymore.

    In its more famous applications, the engine makes one JZ. #i6engine

    @Mobius: Camry V6 engines are borderline supercar engines. el oh el.

    Lotus has great sense of humor imo they could have always get a partnership for Audi/BMW crate engines, but instead they went with Toyota years ago for the cup cars. #i6engine

    I was literally blown off the interstate yesterday by a Lexus IS300 Wagon, twin turbo'd. I know that the best sleeper cars are the uber-wagons and a potential 800 hp has GOT to be sweetest family hauler imaginable. #i6engine

    The 2JZ is, I believe, the strongest factory engine ever built (aside from limited production stuff). 850-900 hp on the stock crank.

    I would personally kill for a 600 hp Chaser. Nothing more awesome than seeing two of the big saloons at 150 mph on the Shuto Expressway outside of Tokyo. #i6engine

    @snapoversteer 'bout to get told: Shouldn't comment when I'm still leftover drunk. I forget where to find it, but some guy years back kept pumping nitrous into a 2jz on an engine dyno. I believe the stock internals blew at 700-800 hp. Guys running huge boost are still running the stock crank reliably (obviously taken with a grain of salt at those levels) at up to 900 hp or so. #i6engine

    @Sheed's Bald Spot: My boss has 2 of them, and the hotter one makes about 600hp with no internal upgrades. It's an amazing engine, but my point is that it's hardly a Toyota factory engine. All the 2jz's, IIRC, were blueprinted at a race shop in Germany. In fact, I think most of the overboost horror stories you hear are from people putting FI on the NA engine. #i6engine

    The straight six under the hood of the Supra turbo sounded so crazy sweet - completely mellow until you stick your foot deep into it, then there's a growing whoosh, and you seem to be climbing a hill as you settle back into the seat.

    One thing I love about the Toyota Of Old was their insistence on sharing bolt patterns.


    As such, all the M-series Celica/Supra engines will bolt up to any W-series transmission.


    The net result? 7mgte-powered Hiluxes and 4Runners. Oh yes.

    @Ambiguously Strolling Player: I was always a big fan of that car. I knew a guy who had one with the 5M-GE back in high school. Very comfortable car and WAY more pick-up than anybody expected. God, that thing was fun to throw around.

    Cressidas sitting on the lot would just suck their batteries dry. Never did find out which fuses to pull to prevent that, they must have all kinds of Terminate Stay Resident stuff going on, even with the key out.
