What is the engine code of the twin-turbo inline-six in the fourth-generation Toyota Supra?

The story behind the answer

The engine code of the twin-turbo inline-six in the fourth-generation Toyota Supra is 2JZ-GTE.

The A80 Supra debuted in 1993 with Toyota’s 2JZ family of 3.0-liter, twin-cam, 24-valve inline-six engines. The 2JZ-GTE was the turbocharged version, while the naturally aspirated 2JZ-GE powered non-turbo models. The engine used two sequential turbochargers to improve response at lower engine speeds while still producing strong high-rpm power.

The 2JZ-GTE became famous for its robust cast-iron block, strong bottom end, and considerable tuning potential. Factory output varied by market: Japanese versions were officially rated at 280 PS under Japan’s voluntary power limit, while export versions received higher published ratings, including 320 hp in the United States.

A common mix-up is 1JZ-GTE, which is a related 2.5-liter twin-turbo inline-six, and 2JZ-GE, which lacks turbochargers. The “GTE” suffix identifies the high-performance, turbocharged configuration.
