2JZ-GE VVTi Engine for Sale - JDM Lexus IS300 & GS300 3.0L If you're searching for a 2jz ge engine, this is a low-mileage JDM unit pulled from a Lexus IS300 or GS300. It's the naturally aspirated version of Toyota's inline six, and it's a solid pick if you want reliability without turbo complexity. Most shops chase the 2jz gte for sale crowd, so this NA side of the market gets less attention and fewer honest listings. Engine Specs This 2JZ-GE VVTi comes out of a 1998 to 2005 Lexus IS300 or GS300. It's a 3.0L inline six with VVT-i, meaning variable valve timing on the intake side. The block is cast iron with a closed deck design, which is a big reason these engines hold up over time.

This is the GE, not the GTE. The GTE runs twin turbos and different internals, and it's what most people mean when they just say "2JZ." The GE shares the same closed deck block, though, so it's not a lesser engine, just built for a different job. If you want a dedicated turbo build from day one, the GTE makes more sense. If you want a reliable daily driver or a factory-correct Lexus IS300 2JZ swap, the GE is the better starting point. What This 2JZ-GE Fits This engine fits any Lexus IS300 or GS300 from 1998 through 2005. It's also a common swap into the Toyota Altezza, the Japanese-market version of the IS300 on the same platform. Some builders drop it into Toyota Aristo and 1995 Toyota Supra projects too, though those swaps usually need extra wiring and mounts. Not sure it fits your car? Our IS300 2JZ buyer's guide covers fitment in more detail. NA-T: Turbocharging a 2JZ-GE Plenty of builders buy the 2JZ-GE specifically to turbo it later, often called NA-T. Since the block matches the GTE's cast iron, closed-deck design, it can handle real boost once you add a turbo kit and supporting fuel setup. This route usually costs less upfront than sourcing a GTE outright. Just know the GE runs different wiring than the GTE, so a turbo conversion isn't bolt-on. It's a real project. What Is Included Each engine ships as a long block unless the listing says otherwise. Check the exact package before ordering, since accessories vary between units. Most listings include: The 2JZ-GE VVTi long block Wiring harness (condition varies) ECU, where available Many buyers grab a matching Toyota transmission at the same time, since sourcing one separately often causes fitment headaches later. Mileage, Testing and Condition Every engine comes from a low-mileage JDM donor and gets compression tested before listing. We check for leaks, unusual noise, and anything that could flag a problem down the line. These are used engines, though, so some normal wear is expected, and we'll note anything relevant on the listing itself. Shipping, Warranty and Returns Every engine ships with a 90-day warranty, and we ship across the US. Shipping times vary by location, so check the listing or reach out first if timing matters for your build. If something's wrong on arrival, our return process covers documented issues within the warranty window. Frequently Asked Questions Is the 2JZ-GE the same as the 2JZ-GTE? No. The GE is naturally aspirated, and the GTE is turbocharged, though they share a similar block. Can I turbo a 2JZ-GE? Yes, this is a common NA-T build. You'll need a turbo kit since the factory setup isn't built for boost. What cars use the 2JZ-GE VVTi? Mainly the Lexus IS300 and GS300, plus the Toyota Altezza. Some builders use it in Supra and Aristo swaps too. Does this come with a transmission? Not by default. Check our Toyota transmissions selection to find a match. How long is the warranty? 90 days from purchase, covering documented mechanical issues. Where can I see other options? Browse all JDM Toyota engines if you're comparing against other choices first.
