1JZ

1JZ engines were produced from 1990 to 2007 (last installed on the Toyota Mark II Wagon BLIT). The working volume of the cylinders is 2.5 liters (2492 cc). The cylinder diameter is 86 mm and the piston stroke is 71.5 mm. The gas distribution mechanism is driven by two toothed belts, the total number of valves is 24, i.e. 4 per cylinder.

1JZ-GE is not a turbocharged version of 1JZ. Engine power is 200 hp. at 6000 rpm and 250 Nm at 4000 rpm. The compression ratio is 10:1. It was equipped with a two-stage intake manifold. Like all engines of the JZ series, the 1JZ-GE is designed for longitudinal installation in rear-wheel drive vehicles. The engine was completed only with a 4-speed automatic.

The 1JZ-GTE engine is a turbocharged version of the 1JZ. It was equipped with two CT12A turbochargers arranged in parallel. The physical compression ratio is 8.5:1. This refinement of the engine led to an increase in power by 80 hp. relative to the atmospheric 1JZ-GE and amounted to 280 hp. at 6200 rpm and 363 Nm at 4800 rpm. The cylinder diameter and piston stroke corresponds to the 1JZ-GE engine and is 86 mm and 71.5 mm, respectively. There is a certain probability that Yamaha took part in the development of the engine, namely the cylinder head, as evidenced by the corresponding inscriptions on some parts of the cylinder head. In 1991, the engine was installed in the new Toyota Soarer GT.
There were several generations of 1JZ-GTE engines. In the first generation, there were problems with ceramic turbine discs, which had a tendency to delaminate at high engine speeds and operating temperature conditions. Another feature of the early 1JZ-GTEs was a one-way valve failure on the head, which led to the fact that some of the crankcase gases entered the intake manifold, which negatively affected engine power. On the exhaust manifold side, a fair amount of oil vapor enters the turbos, which in turn causes premature seal wear. All these shortcomings in the second generation of the engine were officially recognized by Toyota and the engine was recalled for revision, but only in Japan. The solution to the problem is simple - the PCV valve is replaced.
The third generation 1JZ-GTE was introduced to the market in 1996. It's still the same 2.5 liter turbocharged engine, but with BEAMS proprietary architecture, which consists of a redesigned cylinder head, the installation of the latest VVT-i system at that time with continuously variable valve timing, a change in the cooling jacket for better cooling of the cylinders and new titanium nitride coated valve gaskets for less friction on the camshaft lobes. The turbo setup was changed from two CT12 turbines to one CT15B. The installation of the VVT-i system and a new cooling jacket made it possible to increase the physical compression ratio from 8.5:1 to 9:1. Despite the fact that the official engine power data has not changed, the torque has grown by 20 Nm to 379 Nm at 2400 rpm. These improvements resulted in a 10% increase in engine fuel efficiency.

In 2000 year Toyota introduced the least recognized member of the 1JZ-FSE family with direct fuel injection. Toyota argues for the appearance of such engines with their higher environmental friendliness and fuel efficiency without loss of power relative to the base engines of the family.
The 2.5 liter 1JZ-FSE has the same block as the regular 1JZ-GE. The block head is the same. The intake system is designed in such a way that, under certain conditions, the engine runs on a very lean mixture of 20 to 40:1. In this connection, fuel consumption is reduced by 20% (according to Japanese studies in the mode of 10/15 km / h).
The power of the 1JZ-FSE with D4 direct injection is 197 hp. and 250 N m, 1JZ-FSE has always been equipped with automatic transmission gears.
The engine was installed on cars:
Toyota Mark II
Toyota Brevis

2JZ engines have been produced since 1997. The working volume of the cylinders of all modifications was 3 l (2997 cc). These were the most powerful engines in the JZ series. The cylinder diameter and piston stroke form the square of the engine and are 86 mm. The gas distribution mechanism is made according to the DOHC scheme with two camshafts and four valves per cylinder. Since 1997, engines have been equipped with the VVT-i system.

The 2JZ-GE engine is the most common of all 2JZs. A three-liter "aspirated" develops 220 hp. at 5800-6000 rpm. Torque is 298 Nm at 4800 rpm.
The engine is equipped with sequential fuel injection. The cylinder block is made of cast iron and is combined with an aluminum cylinder head. On the first versions, a conventional DOHC gas distribution mechanism with four valves per cylinder was installed on it. In the second generation, the engine acquired a VVT-i variable valve timing system and a DIS ignition system with one coil per cylinder pair.

This is the most "charged" engine of the 2JZ series. It has six straight cylinders, two camshafts with belt drive from the crankshaft, two turbines with an intercooler. The engine block is made of cast iron, the cylinder head is aluminum and designed by TMC(Toyota Motor Corporation). The 2JZ-GTE was produced from 1991 to 2002 exclusively in Japan.
It was a response to Nissan's RB26DETT engine, which was successful in a number of championships such as the FIA ​​and N Touring Car.
The engine was arranged with two gearboxes: automatic for a comfortable ride and sports.
Automatic transmission 4-speed Toyota A341E
Manual transmission 6-speed Toyota V160 and V161 developed jointly with Getrag.
Initially, this "charged" motor was installed on the Toyota Aristo V (JZS147), and then on the Toyota Supra RZ (JZA80).
When Toyota developed the 2JZ-GTE engine, the 2JZ-GE was taken as the basis. The main difference was the installation of a turbocharger with a side intercooler. The cylinder block, crankshaft and connecting rods were the same. There was a slight difference in the pistons: the 2JZ-GTE had a recess in the pistons to reduce the physical compression ratio and additional oil grooves for better cooling of the pistons. Unlike Aristo V and Suppra RZ, other connecting rods were installed on other car models, such as Aristo, Altezza, Mark II. As noted earlier in September 1997, the engine was finalized and equipped with a variable valve timing system VVT-i. This increased the power and torque of the 2JZ-GTE in all markets.
The installation of a twin turbocharger developed by Toyota in conjunction with Hitachi increased power over the base 2JZ-GE from 227 hp. up to 276 hp at 5600 rpm. On the first modifications, the torque was 435 N m. After upgrading in 1997 with the VVT-i system, the torque increased to 451 N m, and engine power, according to Toyota documentation, in the North American and European markets increased to 321 hp . at 5600 rpm.
For export, Toyota produced a more powerful version of the 2JZ-GTE, this was achieved by installing the latest turbochargers using stainless steel, against ceramic components designed for the Japanese market, as well as modified camshafts and injectors that produce a larger volume of fuel mixture per unit time (440 ml / min for domestic Japanese market and 550 ml/min for export). For domestic market engines, two CT20 turbines were installed, and for the export version, CT12B. The mechanical part of the various turbines allowed the interchangeability of the exhaust system on both engine options. There are several subtypes of CT20 turbines designed for the domestic market, which are supplemented by the suffixes A, B, R, for example CT20A.

Is the 2JZ-FSE engine equipped with direct fuel injection, similar to the 1JZ-FSE only with a larger displacement and higher compression ratio than the 1JZ-FSE? which is 11.3:1. In terms of power, it remained at the same level as its basic modification 2JZ-GE. Fuel consumption has changed for the better and indicators of harmful emissions have improved. It is worth noting that Toyota introduces direct injection engines to the market solely for environmental friendliness and fuel efficiency, because. in practice, the D4 does not provide any noticeable improvement in power performance. The 2JZ-FSE has an output of 217 hp and a maximum torque of 294 Nm. It is always mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission.

In 1990, the Toyota concern began to use a new series of engines - JZ - on their cars. They became the replacement for the M-series, which many experts still consider the most successful in the history of this company. But progress does not stand still - new engines were conceived as more durable and reliable, in addition, they were supplied with a whole list of additional lotions designed to protect the planet's ecology from the harmful emissions of an ever-growing number of cars. Several years passed, and in 2000 an even more perfect creation appeared in this series, the 1JZ-FSE engine, operating on D-4 technology, that is, with high-pressure direct fuel injection, similar to how it happens in diesel units.

Of course, the gasoline engine does not receive any increase in power or increase in torque, but fuel economy and improved traction at low revs are guaranteed.

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

But already in 2005, the company stopped producing 1JZ-FSE, and the last new cars equipped with it were sold in 2007.

Operation problems

If you strictly follow the instructions and take care of the machine, then there should not be any significant problems with it. But there are a few bad things:

  • Poor availability of spark plugs (in order to somehow level this drawback, the manufacturers of the 1JZ-FSE 4d engine were forced to install "platinum" ones on the central cylinders);
  • All mounted units have a common drive belt with a hydraulic tensioner, moreover, made in the USA, whose products are much inferior in durability to their native Japanese ones;
  • High sensitivity to moisture ingress;
  • In this engine, the plunger pair of the high-pressure pump can quickly fail due to significant differences in the composition of Russian and Japanese fuel, which is used to lubricate it.

The fact is that the lubricating properties of Japanese gasoline exceed that of Russian gasoline by more than eleven times due to the use of special additives. Therefore, the owners of cars equipped with a 1JZ-FSE high-pressure fuel pump engine quite often "get" to replace the pump (about $ 950) and injectors (about $ 350 each). These costs can be called a subscription fee for "managing a dream."

Specifications 1JZ-FSE


If the drive belt or chain breaks, the valves collide. The manufacturer recommends using gasoline with an octane rating of 95 as fuel, but the experience of operating cars with a Toyota 1JZ-FSE engine by domestic motorists suggests that 92 will do without complications.

The main differences in the design of the unit from the engine with conventional injection

  • The high pressure fuel pump is capable of generating a working pressure of up to 120 bar, while the electric pump injection engine– only up to 3.5 bar.
  • Vortex nozzles create fuel torches of various shapes - in power mode - conical, and when burning a lean mixture - narrow, shifted to the candle, despite the fact that throughout the rest of the volume of the combustion chamber, the mixture is super-lean. The torch is directed in such a way that the liquid fraction of the fuel does not fall on either the piston head or the cylinder walls.
  • The bottom of the piston has a special shape and there is a special recess on it, thanks to which the air-fuel mixture is redirected to the spark plug.
  • FSE engines use vertically directed intake channels that provide the formation of a so-called reverse vortex in the cylinder, which sends the air-fuel mixture towards the spark plug and improves cylinder air filling (in conventional engines, this vortex is directed the other way).
  • Control throttle valve is carried out indirectly, that is, the accelerator pedal does not pull the cable, its position is only fixed by the sensor. The damper changes position with the help of a drive from an electric motor.
  • FSE engines emit a lot of NO, but this problem is solved by using storage type catalytic converters in combination with traditional three-way ones.

Resource

We can reliably speak only about the size of the resource before the bulkhead, that is, until the moment when it becomes necessary to intervene, except of course, replacing the timing belts, in the mechanical part of mass-series engines. In most cases, this happens in the third hundred thousand kilometers (approximately 200,000 - 250,000). As a rule, it costs to replace stuck or worn piston rings and valve stem seals. This is not yet a major overhaul, the geometry of the cylinders and pistons relative to their walls, of course, is preserved.

Is it worth it to buy contract engines

Contract 1JZ-FSE from Toyota Verossa

It often happens that our compatriots take contract engine to a Toyota. Let's see what he is. Such units are not just used, but legally dismantled from a car of the same brand, after it was written off or got into an accident. It is in fully working condition, it just needs to be correctly installed and configured. By the way, such engines are supplied complete with all attachments, thanks to which its installation on a car of a new owner is quick and easy.

Usually abroad, cars that have been in an accident are written off due to the loss of their presentation, but inside there are quite a few well-preserved units and individual parts. In general, buying such an engine will cost much less than repairing a native one. In addition, not a small guarantee is given for contract parts, which further popularizes this type of sale.

What brand of car is installed

These units work for:

  • progress;
  • Brevis;
  • crown;
  • Verossa;
  • Mark II, Mark II Blit.

Constant work on improving equipment in all areas leads to the fact that even reliable and good devices, in particular Toyota M series engines for passenger cars, have to be replaced with units that are more powerful, more economical, etc. 1jz-ge engines change Toyota's M range.

This engine is produced by the Japanese company Toyota. The motor is in-line, has 6 cylinders, runs on gasoline, changed the line of M engines. All 1jz modifications have a DOCH gas distribution mechanism with four valves per cylinder (24 valves in total are obtained). Available in volumes of 2.5 and 3.0 liters.

Power automotive units 1jz are mounted longitudinally for rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles.

The first jz series engine was released in 1990. The last one was in 2007. After 2007, the line of Toyota JZ engines was replaced by the new GR V6 series.

Explanation of the designation of modifications JZ:

  • The number 1 indicates the generation number (there are 1 and 2 generations).
  • Letters JZ - Japan, domestic market.
  • If there is a letter G - timing mechanism DOCH.
  • If there is a letter T - turbocharging.
  • If there is a letter E, then the internal combustion engine is electronically controlled.

JZ motor modifications

All there are 5 models of such engines:


1JZ

The volume of the internal combustion engine is 2.5 liters (2495 cm 3). Cylinder diameter 86 mm. Piston stroke length 71.5 mm. Timing belt drive. The engine has 24 valves. Number of camshafts - 2. Produced from 1990 to 2007.

Such engines developed 180 hp from 1990 to 1995. or 125 kilowatts at a crankshaft rotation speed of 6000 rpm. The maximum torque was 235 N * m at a crankshaft speed of 4800 rpm.

Such engines after 1995 of release developed a power of 200 hp. or 147 kW at a crankshaft speed of 6000 rpm. The maximum torque was 251 N * m at 4000 rpm. The compression ratio in the cylinders is 10:1.

Until 1995, the 1st generation of engines came with distributor ignition. After 95, the 2nd generation of engines came with coil ignition (one coil for two spark plugs). They have already begun to install the vvt-i valve timing system. This contributed to the fact that the torque rose more smoothly and increased operating power by 20 hp.

The engines were mounted longitudinally on rear-wheel drive vehicles. Cars with such engines were equipped with an automatic gearbox with 4 or 5 speeds. A manual transmission was not installed on cars with JZ engines. The drive of parts of the gas distribution mechanism is belt.

1jz-GE was installed on the following Toyota models:

1JZ-GTE

The first generation engines had two parallel CT12A turbochargers (Twin Turbo / Twin Turbo) under one common intercooler. The compression ratio in the cylinders was 8.5:1. ICE power 280 hp or 210 kW at 6200 rpm. The torque (max) was 363 N*m at 4800 rpm. dimensions pistons and cylinders, piston strokes are the same as the previous model 1jz-ge.
The Yamaha logo was applied to the belt guard from the factory and means that the production was jointly with this company. Since 1991, 1jz-gte engines have been installed on Toyota Soarer GT (Toyota Soarer).

The second generation of produced engines began in 1996. The motor was already equipped with a VVT-i system, the compression ratio was significantly increased and amounted to 9.1: 1. The turbocharger was one, but larger. Improved valve gaskets coated with titanium nitrite were also installed, which reduced the friction force with the cams of the gas distribution mechanism.

The 1JZ-GTE motor was installed on the following cars:

Toyota Mark II / Chaser / Cresta modifications 2.5 GT TwinTurbo (1JZ-GTE) (JZX81), Tourer V (JZX90, JZX100), IR-V (JZX110), Roulant G (Cresta JZX100)

2JZ-GE

The last model in this JZ series was produced from 1991 to 2002. Power power unit was 280 hp at a crankshaft rotation speed of 5600 rpm. Max torque - 435 N * m.

The VVT-i valve timing system has been installed in this modification since 1997. Torque has been increased to 451 Nm.

The Japanese government has limited the engine power of passenger cars for operation in their country to 280 hp. Export versions of engines and machines for the United States had a power of 321 hp.

During this time, Nissan successfully won the FIA ​​and N Touring Car racing competitions with Nismo-designed RB26DETT and RB26DETT N1 engines. And the Toyota 2JZ-GE engine became their competitor.

Toyota 2JZ-GE was equipped with an automatic and manual gearbox:

  • Automatic transmission 4-speed Toyota A341E
  • Manual transmission 6-speed Toyota V160 and V161 developed jointly with Getrag.

The engine was installed on cars:

  1. Lexus GS (JZS161);
  2. Toyota Aristo V(JZS161);
  3. Toyota Supra RZ(JZA80).

Repair and operation

Engines are designed to work with fuel - AI-92 - AI-98. On the 98th eighth gasoline, it happens that it starts poorly, but it improves performance. Installed 2 knock sensors. There is no starting nozzle, the engine crankshaft position sensor is located in the distributor.

Platinum spark plugs need to be replaced every 100,000 km, but to replace them you have to remove the top of the intake manifold.

Volume engine oil normal - 5 liters. Coolant volume - 8 liters. A standard fan is installed on the internal combustion engine shaft.

A vacuum air flow meter was installed. To replace oxygen sensor, will have to go through the engine compartment from the exhaust manifold side.

Depending on the manner of operation, overhaul of the engine has to be done by someone after 300,000 km, someone after 350,000 km.

The main part in such engines, which often breaks down, is the timing belt tensioner. The oil pump (), which looks like a VAZ one, also sometimes fails. The average fuel consumption is 11 liters per 100 kilometers.

1998 Toyota Mark 2 - 1jz-gte

Toyota Mark II- a mid-size sedan produced by Toyota from 1968 to 2004.

The name Mark II has been used by Toyota for several decades and was originally used as part of the name Toyota Corona Mark II. Mark II was introduced to make the car stand out from the main Toyota Corona platform. Once the platform was split in the 1970s, the car became known simply as the Mark II.

In the late 1970s, Mark II became the basis for two sedans - Toyota Cresta and Toyota Chaser, differing from it only in interior design options and exterior elements.

Some generations of the sedan were exported with a left-hand drive under the Toyota Cressida brand, which became the company's flagship in the US market for a period before the introduction of the Toyota Avalon, a sedan specially designed for the North American market.

Sales of the Mark were declining in the mid-1990s, forcing Toyota to revamp its sedan line. So, on the basis of the ninth generation, Toyota Verossa appeared, while Toyota Cresta and Toyota Chaser were discontinued. Under the Mark II brand, there was also a station wagon with front or all-wheel drive - Mark II Qualis, structurally very far from a rear-wheel drive sedan (in 2002, the Mark II Qualis was replaced by a station wagon designed on the basis of the ninth generation Mark II Blit).

Starting from the seventh generation, the Mark II has a modification Tourer V, which received the most powerful turbocharged 1JZ-GTE engine with a volume of 2.5 liters.

In 2004, the Mark II was replaced by the Toyota Mark X.


8 generation

The eighth generation of Toyota Mark II in the bodies of the 100th series (100, 101, 105) was produced from September 1996 to September 2000. When the generation changed, the design of the car was radically redesigned. The dimensions of the body and interior remained practically unchanged, the design of the chassis and transmission also did not undergo significant changes. Like the seventh generation, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive modifications have been preserved. The range of engines used has undergone changes and looked as follows:

  • 4S-FE - 1.8 l, 4 cylinders, 130 hp
  • 1G-FE - 2.0 L, 6 cylinders (without VVT-i), 140 hp
  • 1G-FE (BEAMS) - 2.0 L, 6 cylinders, 160 hp
  • 1JZ-GE - 2.5 L, 6 cylinders (VVT-i), 200 hp

Since September 1996 in gasoline engines VVT-i variable valve timing technology was applied, even a modernized cylinder head was used on the 2-liter 1G-FE. This technology is called BEAMS.

All wheel drive versions were available with 1G-FE Beams and 1JZ-GE engines. The “advanced” Toyota i-Four all-wheel drive system was used - this is a permanent four-wheel drive with center differential (torque distribution between the front and rear axles - 30:70), blocking - hydromechanical clutch with electronic control (variable blocking coefficient).

The Tourer S version was also produced. It was equipped only with a 1JZ-GE engine and a 5-speed. automatic transmission A650E.

As in the previous generation, the Tourer V modification was preserved. The 1JZ-GTE engine underwent a number of modifications, the most notable among them was the replacement of two turbochargers with one larger CT15. The cooling system has been modified and improved, the compression ratio has increased from 8.5 to 9 units. Together with the VVT-i system, these changes increased the engine's maximum torque from 363 to 383 N/m and, more importantly, shifted this figure to a much lower rpm (2400 rpm.). This has led to an improvement fuel economy and acceleration dynamics from lower revs. Automatic transmission (A341E) and manual transmission (R154) remained unchanged.

Preserved sports suspension with floating silent blocks of the upper arm, rear stabilizer roll stability, lower brace, larger calipers, and a screen that protects the brake disc. The brake discs of all wheels were ventilated. The limited slip differential was an option for cars with automatic transmission and basic for versions with manual transmission. All Tourer V trims were offered to customers with xenon low beam headlights, an amplified audio system, 6 speakers and a subwoofer in the rear shelf, and 16-inch alloy wheels.

The tires on the Tourer V were of different widths: front 205/55R16 (rim J6.5 ET50), rear 225/50R16 (rim J7.5 ET55). Such a scheme was used for powerful rear-wheel drive cars, which the Tourer V was. also in basic equipment included traction control TRC and VSC. The climate control system was an option. In 1998, a restyling was made, affecting mainly the headlights, taillights and front bumper.

In contact with

The 1JZ-GTE engine is equipped with a pair of turbochargers that work simultaneously, the system is called the “CT12A twin-turbo”, and an intercooler is also installed in the engine wing. The 1JZ-GTE engine is considered a first generation engine and has a compression force of up to 8.5.

When developing the cylinder head, Yamaha took part, a logo with the image of this company is printed on the timing belt. The second generation of such an engine was upgraded: the VVT-I system, an increase in compression force to 9 and a new ST15V turbocharger, which was larger than its predecessors. Such updates significantly improved the engine:

  • equalized the torque curve;
  • reduced gasoline consumption;
  • reduced engine speed.

1JZ-GTE, can be equipped with a four-speed automatic, or a five-speed mechanical box gears.

Engine details

The 1JZ-GTE engine is a Toyota invention and has six cylinders.

2500 cm 3 - stable working volume of the motor.

As a rule, such an engine is not limited in power, it is capable of delivering from 280 to 320 hp. Therefore, many cars on which the 1JZ-GTE is installed have become excellent sports cars. When installing additional equipment, power can be increased to 400 hp / t, but this number is not the limit. The refinement consists in mounting additional air filters and increasing the boost pressure.

Installation on cars

The following cars are equipped with the 1JZ-GTE engine:

  1. Toyota chaser.
  2. Toyota supra.
  3. Toyota Verossa.
  4. Toyota Cresta.
  5. Toyota mark2.
  6. Toyota mark2 WB.
  7. Toyota soaser.
  8. Toyota crown.

Weak side of the motor

The main disadvantage of the 1JZ-GTE engine is the location of the candles. They are located directly on the valve cover, which heats up quite strongly, thereby causing overheating of the coils, each candle is equipped with them. The owner of such an engine must remember this fact and, if necessary, pay attention.

If you want to use the engine for as long as possible, it is of great importance to use 98 gasoline!

Choice between two generations

  1. If you don't want to take part in drag racing in your city trip plans, then it is better to choose 1JZ-GTE VVTI. The engine of the second generation is more frisky up to 125 km / h, compared to the first. With a quiet ride around the city, fuel consumption is 14 liters, if you press the gas pedal more often, then 17 liters. In my experience of driving on the highway, the consumption was 11l, but less can be achieved.
  2. If you objectively look at both motors, we can say that they are almost the same. But due to the increased piston stroke by 2JZ, the torque will be much greater. Personally, my preference is VVTI, but the 2JZ with a turbo-twin system accelerates more in two nozzles than the CT15 in one.
