When you think of an I6 engine, Japanese variants are likely the first on your mind. With the legendary 2JZ and RB26, Japan really does do it best. However, not all Japanese I6 engines are created equal. This video utilizes a tier list format to find out which of them is best!
Check out our other engine tier lists!

rebuilding a 7M right now, its probably the most simple engine ive ever worked on. If people treat it right, it will last as long as any other toyota. its not a miata and it cant be treated like one too. Throw on a mhg and some arp head studs and youre set!

As long as you have proper head studs and torque them properly (and aren’t trying to make literal “stupid” amounts of power) they should be a wonderful engine… Never understood why they get so much hate, I’d take them every single day over a Subie engine…

A 5M and 2JZ owner here with a 1986 Toyota Cressida and 2001 Lexus GS 300, I would say you pretty much got it spot on. Although I would've put the 5M on S tier right after the 7M since it was pretty much the first DOHC in the M series that was used in more than one car like the 3M was with the 2000GT, the 5M is a really solid engine and i've never had any problems with it at all for the past 4 years i've owned my 86 Cressida, scorching summers, winter blizzards, your daily driver? No problem at all! Ran my 5M-GE with really low oil and coolant by accident (me not checking them) one time and it still is going like a champ for an almost 40 year old engine. Love the M and JZ series engines and hello to my fellow lads that have these family engines, keep on rocking and cruising with these bulletproof engines, they're something special!

The final and most powerful engine in the RB Series, the RB28DETT was only put in 20 cars(The R34 GTR Z-Tune). 493 hp was the number that Nissan put in marketing due to “insurance reasons” or so I’ve read. Knowing Japanese engines of the time, it probably makes over 500.

I think the TB and it's diesel brother the TD deserve a bit more praise. The TB for it's time was praised for it's off-roading capabilities, and a lot of people would even argue that the Y60 Patrol with the TB42 was what got Toyota to step up and develop the 1FZ for the newer 80 series Land Cruisers. Anyway, cool video and channel. Subbed, hope you do a video for V6's. ;)

Fun fact about the L series engines, they were created by taking a Prince 4 Cylinder engine and adding two cylinders to it… What’s even funnier is that that Prince 4 Cylinder engine was originally a Mercedes 6 Cylinder design that they then chopped two cylinders off of 😂😂😂 Also a modified early L24-L28 with Triple carbs is one of the best sounding Japanese engines ever made and they can make great power for what they are as well… Source: Jason Cammisa’s video on the 240Z, give it a watch, it’s not his best video, but it’s still fantastic (my personal favorites are the 500e, Miura, and NSX, as well as some of his other videos for Hagerty like his video on the definitive M3)
