Lexus 2JZ-GE specs: 3.0L (183 ci) 6-cylinder, 86 x 86 mm (3.3858 x 3.3858 in) bore and stroke. Rated 215-225 hp, 1992–2005. Used in the Lexus SC and Lexus GS.
The Lexus 2JZ-GE is exactly square — 3.3858" bore and 3.3858" stroke are the same — which splits the difference between a high-revving layout and a torque layout. The 3.3858" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,100 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 6 cylinders displaces 30.5 ci (500 cc).
It is one of 2 engines in the JZ family, all of them 183 ci — the differences between them are in compression, heads and rating, not displacement. 24 factory variants share these dimensions, rated from 215 to 225 hp across 1992–2005.
