Toyota 1JZ-GTE VVTi 

Looking for a 1jz engine for sale? JDM Florida stocks the 1996 to 2005 Toyota 1JZ-GTE VVTi engine, paired with its matching automatic transmission. This engine came out of the JZX100 Chaser and a few other Toyota chassis in Japan. It runs a single-turbo setup with ETCS-i throttle control and a front-sump oil pan. So, if you're chasing a Supra MK4 motor swap or fixing up a Chaser engine build, this unit gives you a tested, low-mileage option shipped straight from Japan.

Engine & Transmission Specs

Why This 1JZ-GTE Engine Works So Well

The 1JZ VVTi engine earned its reputation for a reason. Here's what makes it a solid pick:

• The single turbo setup delivers smoother power than the older twin turbo version, so it's easier to drive on the street.

• The VVTi head improves throttle response and gives you better fuel economy too.

• Stock internals hold up well, even after you add boost down the road.

• It has a long service record when the owner keeps up with maintenance.

• Drifters love it for the broad torque band and predictable power curve.

Fitment Guide

This 1jzgte for sale fits a wide range of chassis, whether you're doing a factory swap or something custom:

• Toyota Chaser (JZX100, JZX90)

• Toyota Mark II and Cresta

• Toyota Soarer

• Nissan S13 and S14, a common swap target for drift builds

• Toyota AE86, for owners chasing more power than the stock 4A-GE offers

Where This Engine Comes From

We source this engine directly from Japan, not from a domestic yard or a broker. Our team checks auction sheets and mileage records before anything ships. That means you get a Japan-market engine with known history, not a guess. We've built this process over years of importing, and it's part of why shops keep coming back to us. You can read more about how we operate on our About Us page.

Testing Before Shipping

Every engine goes through a check before it leaves our warehouse:

• Compression test on all six cylinders

• Visual inspection of the turbo, head, and block

• Check for oil leaks and coolant leaks

• Verification of mileage against the listing

Warranty and Shipping

This engine comes with a 60-day warranty that covers both the engine and the transmission. If something's wrong, you're covered from day one. We ship nationwide, and most orders leave our Orlando warehouse within a few business days. For full terms, check our Warranty Policy page before you order.

Common Questions

Does this engine come with the ECU and wiring harness?

Check the listing photos and description for exact contents. Some listings include the harness and ECU; others don't. Call us if you need to confirm before buying.

Will this 1JZ engine fit my Supra Mk4?

Not directly. The Supra Mk4 came with a 2JZ from the factory. The 1JZ is a popular swap into other chassis, though, like the Chaser and the S-body Nissans.

What's the difference between this and the non-VVTi 1JZ?

The VVTi version uses a single turbo and has a different cylinder head for better response. The non-VVTi version runs twin turbos and lacks the VVTi cover.

How long does shipping take?

Most orders ship within a few business days from our Orlando location. Transit time depends on your location.
