KhiemIS300 K I'm owning my first Lexus and RWD car in a few days and Iv'e seen a is300 on craigslist that says it has a 2jz engine like the supra but I know its not entirely a supra engine so I'm wondering if all 2001 and 2002 IS300s have a 2jz engine stock in them? If not can you tell if this one has a 2jz engine? #1 · Sep 17, 2013 I'm owning my first Lexus and RWD car in a few days and Iv'e seen a is300 on craigslist that says it has a 2jz engine like the supra but I know its not entirely a supra engine so I'm wondering if all 2001 and 2002 IS300s have a 2jz engine stock in them?

So not all is300s come with a 2jzge engine? Is the one I posted have it and if it does how can you tell? Show more replies 0 Reply #7 · Sep 17, 2013 You're reading it wrong. VVT-I is like Toyota's V-tech. The only difference between non-turbo Supra and IS300 is that all IS300 have 2JZ-GE with VVT-I while non-turbo Supra had 2JZ-GE without VVT-I. FYI, turbo Supras had 2JZ-GTE. The seller was trying to work the name Supra into his ad to pique interest, and it worked ... lol #11 · Sep 17, 2013 alot of people say 2jz because they watch to much fast and furious, but when i hear 2jz it usually means gte never the ge block... i get annoyed when people just say 2jz.... #12 · Sep 17, 2013 agreed. the hype drives me crazy... it's a straight 6 block. end of story. 1 Reply #14 · Sep 18, 2013 What engine is this? That ain't no GTE. #15 · Sep 18, 2013

I also say "straight six" - even more meaningful after a GE was used in F&F :lol: Insert Quotes Post Reply
