Toyota JDM 2JZ-GE VVTi Engine GS300 Supra Aristo IS300 2JZGE 6CYL

The Toyota JDM 2JZ-GE VVTi engine is a 3.0L (2,997 cc) naturally aspirated inline-six gasoline engine with DOHC and 24 valves, featuring Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i). Produced from 1991 to 2007, it has a cast-iron block and aluminum cylinder head, delivering between 215 to 230 PS (212–227 hp) at around 5,800 to 6,000 rpm, and torque ranging from 283 to 298 Nm (209–220 lb-ft) at 3,800 to 5,800 rpm depending on the model year and market.

The engine has a bore and stroke of 86 mm × 86 mm, giving it a square design that balances power and efficiency. It uses a multi-point sequential electronic fuel injection system and an electronically controlled throttle (ETCS-i in VVT-i models). The 2JZ-GE with VVT-i was first introduced in 1995, improving performance and fuel efficiency over earlier versions.

This engine powers popular Toyota models such as the Toyota Aristo (Lexus GS300), Toyota Supra (non-turbo models), Lexus IS300 (Altezza), and other Toyota luxury sedans. Known for its smooth power delivery, reliability, and strong aftermarket support, the 2JZ-GE VVTi is favored for both stock performance and tuning potential.
