5 Of The Most Reliable Toyota Engines Ever Built, Ranked – SlashGear

Toyota’s 2JZ-GTE made its U.S. debut in the 1993 Supra Turbo. It offered substantial oomph with no immediate need for modification to coax ample horsepower out of the powerplant. For this engine, Toyota opted for an Inline Six design rather than a V6 infrastructure to keep the movement within the engine block to a minimum. The result was a potent power supply employed in a wide range of additional use cases. Moreover, the block is forged from a cast iron design, giving it substantial durability and the massive power output that can be pulled from within the engine. Even ChatGPT named this engine one of the best ever made when we asked, and if it takes a machine to know a machine, then perhaps that’s a ringing endorsement.

Toyota built the engine model between 1991 and 2005. It offers drivers a 3.0L, twin-turbocharged Inline Six construction that’s air-cooled. The engines built for export to the U.S. market came with alternative turbocharger installations and other modifications. The result was an engine that produced 320.5 horsepower and 325.5 ft-lb of peak torque. The second generation engines, built starting in 1997, utilized a new inlet camshaft design that improved the maximum torque rating to 332.8 ft-lb.
