(Updated February 2020) There is no arguing the potency of Toyota's turbocharged 3.0-liter 2JZ-GTE inline-6 engine. Its power potential is extreme and aftermarket support is strong. For this reason, the famed 2JZ motor has been swapped into more than just JDM platforms. Below you will find some of our favorite 2JZ swaps from previous builds featured on Super Street.

A car that needs little introduction, this was (is?) Ken Gushi's chariot for Formula D pro drifting. We shot the Rocket Bunny V2-kitted Scion after it debuted at the 2013 SEMA Show before it was dressed in a livery. The entire car was built by GReddy, which included the 3.4-liter 2JZ beast matched with a T88 turbo-perfect for high horsepower and drifting duties.
