Initially offered in the 1991 Toyota Aristo, the 2,997 cc (3.0 L; 182.9 cu in) 2Jz engine has been manufactured since 1991 till 2007. 3.39 inches by 3.39 inches make up the cylinder\u2019s bore and stroke. Variable valve timing (VVT-i) was first debuted in 1995 with the 2Jz engine, but it wasn\u2019t until mid-1997 for the 1998 model year that it reached the 2Jz engine and the US market. Despite having the same bore size, bore pitch, and basic construction as the 1JZ, this engine has a taller block deck and longer connecting rods to accommodate the 14.5 mm (0.57 in) stroke increase.<\/p>\n
The 2JZ-GE is a widely used variant. The engine produces 209-220 lb-ft (283-298 Nm) of torque at 4800 to 5800 rpm and 215-230 PS (158-169 kW; 212-227 bhp) at 5800 to 6000 rpm.<\/p>\n
It has a cast-iron cylinder block, an\u00a0aluminum\u00a0head, four valves per cylinder, and sequential electronic fuel injection. In 1995, VVT-i was initially made available for engines. The classic distributor setup seen on the 1JZ-GE was replaced with DIS in the VVT-i variant. Contrary to popular belief, it was not a true COP (Coil-On-Plug, often referred to as Plug-top coil) ignition system, but rather used a single coil to ignite two cylinders, one of which was ignited by a spark plug wire.<\/p>\n
