Toyota 2JZ specs: 3.0L (183 ci) 6-cylinder, 86 x 86 mm (3.3858 x 3.3858 in) bore and stroke, 8.5:1 compression. Rated 276-320 hp. Rod ratio and piston speed.
The Toyota 2JZ 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).
8.5:1 on aluminum heads is low by modern standards and generally happy on regular pump fuel.
It is one of 6 engines in the 2JZ family, all of them 183 ci — the differences between them are in compression, heads and rating, not displacement. 2 factory variants share these dimensions, rated from 276 to 320 hp. Factory fitments include the Toyota Supra JZA80, Toyota Aristo JZS147, Toyota Aristo JZS161.
