You and I know the Toyota 2JZ-GTE as one of the most legendary tuner engines of all time, powering one of the most iconic cars of all time, the MK4 Toyota Supra.
But what if I told you the best Supra ever, doesn't even use a 2JZ engine, but rather a little 2.0L four-cylinder.
It sounds crazy, but it's true. And in this video I'm going to tell you why.

Later versions of the Mk4 Supra GT500 switched over to a V8 engine instead of using the 2JZ, because they needed more torque. That means no JGTC Mk4 Supra ever made use of the 2JZ engine. Indeed, truth is stranger than fiction.

The 3S Line up to the 3S-GTE was never given a chance at both build and tuning by some critics who had the chance to mess with these engines.. they bash these engines before they even knew what these engines are capable of. Built from the bottom up these engines could put out some serious hp with torque to match whatever hp being put out. I owned one so I'm speaking from experience 538hp with 525 torque at wheels. This engine pulls like crazy up top. I'd love to see these engines being experimented with more.🔥

This is the same reason why Nissan used a V6 in some of their racing skylines, and eventually switched to a V6 wholesale when it came to making the R35 GTR. The V6 engine layout is SOOOOO ridiculously slept on that it's not even funny. It has, singlehandedly, the best power density by size and the shortest specific length per displacement, providing the best vehicle balance and cabin space gains regardless of where it's placed. A V8 comes close, but at the displacements that'd be used with forced induction (and still have a drivable car), all you're gaining is reliability from a (possibly) shorter stroke. You can safely have up to 8000-9000rpm in a 4.5L V6 using a 103mm bore and 90mm stroke, and it'll STILL be a shorter engine than even the 86mm bore 1UZ. With other engine design factors optimized, you can safely make 200lb-ft per liter of displacement at the crank with a fairly responsive turbo on E85 (2.5x the usual N/A limit on pump gas and street compression). That's 900 lb-ft of torque. And if peak power is at 7000 with a redline of 8000 (and we assume the 5252 cross and blah blah blah), then you should be looking at 1200hp at the crank. And if it's made with a closed deck aluminum block, even with DOHC, this whole engine should still weigh in the low-mid-400-pound range for the long block (meaning fully assembled but without the accessory drive and turbo/turbos). If we use a 1.2x drivetrain loss factor(auto 2WD or manual AWD), it's still 1000whp and 750 ft-lbs of torque.

BMW did something similar with their 1400HP F1 engine. It was based on an ancient M10. The engineering department deliberately used well worn engines with high mileage and placed the blocks outside in the elements. The idea was having an engine block that's almost free of any casting stress. These blocks were able to take the massive amounts of boost. Alfa also used an ancient PRV V6 for their latest iterations of the infamous 155 DTM.

To summarize, the 2JZ is just too big and too heavy. Inline 6 engines in general aren't the best race engines because they take up too much space which means you can't mount them as low and deep into the chassis as a more compact i4, V4, V6 or V8. In cars like the M4 GT3 this doesn't matter as much because of GT3 rules but Super GT has always been home to some comically lax rules hence the MR LMP1 V8 powered Prius. Mid engine cars suffer the most because now you have less space for your diffuser or ground effect tunnels which is bad for aero. Flat engines cause the same issue which is why Porsche ran a V4 in the 919 instead of an H4.

The differences between the 2.1L and 2.0L inline-4 engines of the Supra JGTC When you think about a racing spec Supra, it is a huge possibility to think immediately the iconic JGTC/GT500 spec of it. There’s also a huge possibility to remember that they were powered by an inline-4 turbo engine, instead of the OEM/factory-based 2JZ-GTE. But did you know that there were different versions of this 4cyl engine that powered the Supra JGTC cars? We explain: Back in the 80’s, there was Group C. The category grew, increasing interest from major manufacturers around the globe - and Toyota was one of them. With chassis being developed by DOME, Toyota (under Toyota Racing Development division, known by all of you as TRD) was in charge to develop a 2.1L 4cyl engine single turbocharged known as 503E, and eventually dubbed as 3S-GTM, 3S-GTE and/or just 3S-GTE. This engine also powered the monstrous AAR-built IMSA GTP cars from late 80’s and early 90’s. With this engine being specifically developed for sports car racing and knowing the regulations subjects from JGTC, Toyota was the first official thing to take advantage in an imminent engine swap in the championship, putting the 503E in their first factory-backed Supra GT chassis entered in the mid-season of 1994. This engine remained as it was from 1994 until 1996. The 503E (dubbed 3S-GT that moment) was also seen powering the Supra LM cars seen at the Circuit de La Sarthe during the 1995 and 1996 24h of Le Mans. The 503E was then dropped by 1997, when Toyota developed a new engine for the all-new ‘97-spec Supra, downgrading to 2.0L (actually 1998cc of displacement), and taking base from the 3S-GTE seen in the production version and specially the Celica WRC, known as 661E, and “re-engineered” for JGTC, 20kg lighter than the 503E, becoming as 171F, the official engine of the Supra JGTC by 1997 until 1999, where it was replaced by the 244F, after slightly modifications on the whole base. Still dubbed as 3S-GTE, the 244F base remained until 2002, where it was replaced by the variable-displacements V8 NA 3UZ-FE, putting the end in the 4cyl successful stories for more than two decade

For the price of just pistons for a 2JZ-GTE, you can find any older domestic V8 and build it twice as much for half as cheap. 1000hp sounds cool until you realize guys have been pulling that out of dogfart 2v 4.6's for years now.

What you have to remember is the JGTCC limited power levels to 480 BHP (360 kW) for the GT500 class, the 503E was based on Toyota's 2.1 800 BHP (600 kW) GTP engine and was reliable as the sunrise and MORE than capable of producing GT500 power levels with less weight on the nose. Nissan's advantage was the GTR simple a bigger car with a wider track than the Supra so it could afford to use a larger, heavier engine and still handle very well. I remember watching the races and you could see how much faster and stable the Nissan's were through the corners.

Also in GT500 like every racing league they have a weight minimum. Meaning you can't just make the car as light as possible, however what you can do is move that weight around. So some cars they'll be under the weight minimum so they'll place the weights in the race car where it works best for the chassis. Same with the engine, they'd have similar weight overall if they used an inline 6 no matter what due to weight minimums, but having a 4 cylinder is better for the obvious reason of the weight being closer to the center of the car.

My LS MK3 Begs to differ. I've had the body since 94 and ran the life out of the 1j. When I first did the swap it would pop the windshield out when I launched it. A cage and more forgiving mounts fixed that. There's no replacement for displacement kids.

Btw just to clear something up a 503E was only said by Toyota to be a modified 3SGTE for marketing. Those motors share zero parts with a 3SGTE with only thing being similar is the bolt pattern for the bell housing on the block, lol. The JGTC Supra than ran a 3SGTE did run a 3SGTE. The 503E was in the cars like IMSA GTP cars or the Pike's peak car. 3SGTEs also were used in WRC. The 503E is quite different, the heads even had external water cooling. If you look at a IMSA GTP car with a 503E look above the exhaust manifold and you'll see a coolant manifold. 503Es were also slight larger motors being 2.1L.

M series inline six engines were not necessarily meant as performance engines originally. They were meant as the upscale engine for the Toyota Crown with the base engine a four cylinder. Toyota typically takes a sedan engine, then put a Yamaha designed wide angle valve DOHC with multicarburator setups to make a performance engine out of it, such as in the Toyota 2000 GT. But it's original purpose has always been more mundane. Even later 1JZ and 2JZ engines were used in Crowns, Mark IIs etc,. No surprise the chassis of the first Supras were taken off from the Crown.

2J runs rwd. RB26 drives awd. 2J's weight plus rwd reduced cornering. RB26 plus awd ATTESSA and HICAS assisted cornering. 3SGTE drove awd in the GT-4 Celicas that somewhat dominated in rally. Efficient Power-to-weight-to-handling was a major factor in deciding winners in JGTC.

also the 2jz has a power band that makes most of the power in the middle of a rev which is not really ideal in circuit racing where you're in the peak rpm most of the time
@SentientOrang
@SentientOrang 6 ай бұрын
Yup. That's Primarily the nature of 2Js because Toyota made it an equally square in Bore X Stroke. The powerband is more smooth and equally distributed across the rpm range (bigger displacement just adds more low end torque) Whereas the 1JZ revs higher and produces powerband in the top end of the rev range just like Nissan RB26DETT (Undersquare stroke)

During the last days of Japans GT racing days, Nissan used a v6 in their gt500 cars instead of the inline 6 engines. When their is a cap on power why not use the smaller, lighter engine with a better layout for weight distribution. I can’t remember if Toyota used a inline 6, v6 or 4 for their gt500 cars. Nissan also was not able to use awd in the series since it was made illegal after years of the gtr dominating the series with awd, all the other teams complained. At the end of the race series life, Nissan was running a gtr, a 350z and another car if I remember correctly in the gt500 class but their were all 350z’s under the body. They were running the s15 silvia in the gt350 class, I’m pretty sure they were using the sr20 but I can’t remember. Toyota ran the Supra and another model in the gt500 and got the gt350 I’m pretty sure it was a celica but rwd of course.

@@griffins750 It's further confusing because Toyota liked to play with names for marketing. The 503E shares nothing with other 3S's and no parts are interchangeable. They only were used on GTP cars. With possibly that SARD had one in their Supra, but there's only one photo that I can track down that shows a 503E. It's quite easy to tell when it's a 503E because the heads have their own cooling system with a coolant manifold above the exhaust ports.
