 2JZ–GTE ENGINE

 The 2JZ–GTE is newly developed turbocharged in–line 6, 3.0–liter, 24–valve DOHC engine with a charge air

cooler [intercooler]. Along with the two–way twin turbocharger system, this engine features two compact
turbines, and a large–capacity, air–cooled charge air cooler which improves turbo response, and provides high
engine response and performance.

 The two–way twin turbocharger system uses two small turbochargers numbered 1 and 2, and their operation is

controlled by the ECM* [engine ECU] in accordance with the driving condition. This system applies boost from
the No. 1 turbocharger to improve turbo response during a low–speed operation, and from both the No. 1 and No.
2 turbochargers to provide high power output during a high–speed operation.

sheet aluminum alloy is adopted for the engine hood and the roof (sports roof model only) for weight reduction.

The vehicle’s rust resistance is increased and the noise and vibration are reduced through an expanded application of the
anti–corrosion steel sheet as well as the optimally located vibration damping steel sheet and asphalt sheet.
