TOYOTA 2JZ

-

Probably the most sought-after engine swap of all on our list, the 2JZ is another one of those motors where the manufactur­er just got it so damn right, even in factory trim. These motors are seemingly indestruct­ible, and, with the right bolt-ons, will easily push your car into the 750kW zone and still retain that reliabilit­y. These are extremely popular in both drag racing and drifting, but that does mean that those pushing the limits have depleted the stocks considerab­ly, pushing up prices in recent years. A stroked 3400cc 2JZ-GTE is hard to go past if you’re looking for big torque to take on those V8s. Expect to pay $4500 or more to secure a complete engine.
