Discovering the Top 10 Toyota Engines That Set the Standard!
10. 2JZ-GTE Inline-Six
The Mk IV Supra's 2JZ-GTE six-cylinder engine made it successful. The 2JZ's near-indestructibility has been proven on 2,000-hp applications for over two decades.
09. 1JZ-GTE Inline-Six
You're generally accurate about the 2JZ being Toyota's flagship engine. Third-generation Chasers, Soarers, and Mark IIs in Japan have a 2.5-liter BEAMS architecture, VVT-i, and a CT15B turbo.
08. 4A-GE Inline-Four
The 4A-GE's 112 horsepowerare less important than its history. This fuel-injected, four-cylinder engine was based on Cosworth's BDA (Belt Drive, A Type) engines.
07. 3S-GTE Inline-Four
The 3S-GTE is the Supra's 2JZ-GTEfor MR2s and Celica All-Tracs. North Americans are most familiar with the second-generation Toyota 3S-GTE, which produces 260 hp.
06. 4U-GSE / FA20 Flat-Four
The Toyota-Subaru boxer engine isn't the most powerful four-cylinder each firm has developed, but it doesn't make it less special. It's Toyota-Subie technology.
05. 1LR-GUE V-10
Despite never owning one, you may appreciate the LFA's 4.8L V-10 engine. The engine turns 9,000 rpm despite its enormous displacement. Titanium rods and forged pistons.
04. 7M-GTE Inline-Six
Don't compare the third-generation Supra's 7M-GTE to the 2JZ. The older engine may have inspired the Mk IV Supra's incredible powerplant, and for that it deserves praise.
03. 2ZZ-GE Inline-Four
Even though the 2ZZ doesn'tget as much aftermarket support as Honda's K20A Type R engine and isn't as powerful, theToyota engine is still a good one.
02. R36V V-8
It's special that Toyota's twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter eight-cylinder LMGTP engine isn't for sale. The R36V, constructed of a carbon-fiber block, was limited-edition for Le Mans racers.
01. 3M Inline-Six
50 years ago, the straight-six that powered what many consider the first Japanese supercar was legendary. With this powertrain, Toyota strengthened its ties with Yamaha.
