The Toyota 2JZ-GTE is an iconic inline-six engine, renowned for its durability and tuning potential. Originally used in the Toyota Supra, the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter powerhouse was designed for high performance, delivering 320 hp stock, but it's famous for handling over 800+ hp with modifications. Its balanced design, robust cast-iron block, and advanced sequential turbos make it a favorite in motorsports and aftermarket builds.

One of the biggest challenges was ensuring proper synchronization between the camshaft and the crankshaft. This required fine-tuning the positioning of the timing gears and belts to ensure that each piston fires at the right moment. Additionally, the layout of the intake and exhaust manifolds needed careful design to allow efficient airflow across all cylinders.
