Excellent job explaining the main differences between these 2 engines. I personally have the 1uzfe in my 98' gs400, I'm very happy with my engine, it is very cool knowing my car (toyota aristo)actually was the 1st car not the supra to have the 2jzgte engine.

So I can technically make my ge block handle 1000hp by getting an oil pan with a turbo drain fitting , and then getting a gte head ? Shit I’m going to build it now

[@_sc300]

I have a 92 sc300, same lower end as the 2jzgte making it very strong. Non vvti 2jzge now with arp head studs and a 1.5mm tomei headgasket and valve seals. Don’t assume you can slap a turbo on the early ge’s without some modifying. The stock ecu can only handle 7 psi and beyond that it cuts fuel and kills the car to protect itself. I’m running a 93 aristo ecu (2jzgt ecu) and my ge handles 14psi like no problem. Don’t just buy a vvti 2j thinking you can throw 14 psi at it, do it right the first time.

[@72Dexter72Manley72]

You are correct. But people can buy a standalone set-up and control timing and fuel so much better. I'm using a crank trigger wheel and sensor on the front of my engine. I did this and run mine at 15psi off the gate. Stock GE block. GTE head gasket to lower compression. Bigger injectors. Turbo, GE Turbo manifold, front facing GE intake manifold.

[@benjamin-qn7nf]

hey man, I also have a 92 sc300 non vvti and was wondering if you can give me an update of how yours is doing? and if you could give me tips on what to do to optimize the engines health and up its performance. Id really appreciate it man

[@courtneyprimo8056]

The GTE & GE are basically the same when it comes to endurance. They different in the shape of the head and oil openings in the block.

[@Jsiano91]

Really? I was wondering what the difference was. But in still confused which one has more potentional

[@mareksumguy1887]

Janrey Siano of course the GTE is stronger!

[@robertbrown1933]

The gte has more potential because of the aftermarket parts you can get for the gte.

[@jacelynek5532]

@@robertbrown1933 it’s also got more durable pistons and rods I believe. In a lot of ways it’s easier to build because you don’t have to change internal parts, but if you were to swap gte pistons and such into a ge, theyd be able to handle about the same I think

[@claudethesilentman7841]

I Really want to learn more about the 2JZ-FSE honestly I’ve read some articles with info relating to it but there’s always minimal info I get it’s for low emissions and good fuel consumption and how it’s got a higher compression rate compared to the GE and GTE but I wanna know even more

[@devil2jz500]

Well... That's a good video, BUT, you forgot to mention that the GE non VVTI head (earlier ones with Distributor) have the Biggest Intake and Exhaust ports among ALL of them. The GE vvti (the one with skinny rods and weak pistons) has significant smaller intake ports. The GE non vvti is the best flowing head, but since it gas a distributor nobody wants it. What I did on mine is I deleted the distributor, used a freeze plug to block the hole and bolted a plate on top. Then, I drilled the head on the intake side and welded a Cam Sensor bung from a GE vvti so I can use GTE cams. I currently have BC 272 GTE cams on my GE non Vvti head. The aftermarket support for GEs is growing. You can get pretty much the same as far as intake and exhaust manifolds for both online. A lot of drift cars are using either GE blocks or GE block/head. If you are going to build a 2jz, just get a GE for $250 from a junkyard instead of a GTE. (spend that extra $2700 in forged internals and cams). Regarding the compression ratio, if you use a stock GE (non vvti) bottom end, with a GTE head gasket, it will give you a 9.21:1 compression ratio which it isn't very "ideal". But if you mill the head a little bit, you will get 9.5:1 compression ratio which it is good for 650whp on pump gas an 900whp+ on e85 until your pistons fail (on a healthy engine they can survive 1000whp). Anyways, I like your channel and I hope to see more videos! Stay safe everyone!

[@franklyn315]

good advice! I have a ge non vvti and I was thinking of just getting a built GE head with built internals...

[@tylerr324]

I did exactly what you said as well in my 94 supra. Did the cam sensor and made my own distributor block off with a mill and welded a flange for the sensor. I built my bottom end with forged internals and a TT oil pump. did a bowl blend and gasket match on the head along with bc springs retainers and gsc s2 cams. I’m making 806whp and 790 ft lbs of torque on a BW s369sxe sooooo GE is just as capable. Headgames claimed with a port job it’s a better flowing head at one time too. Respect is deserved for the GE no doubt

[@Tootoofree]

Gs300 Gang❤️

[@theconsigliere8463]

A closer comparison would be the early GEs non vvti to the GTE as they are virtually the same minus the oil squirters, turbo and forward facing intake manifold, and head gasket. Everything else is virtually identical. The vvti GE is still a fantastic and reliable engine that can make good power sure it doesn't live up to the GTE or it's non vvti variant to higher boost and power outputs. They all have a purpose and an overall great engine. Majority of 2J owners won't have the cash to crank out 1000+ hp and be able to keep up with maintenance and repairs. 5-600 is plenty for daily street driving. I'm a proud owner of an SC non vvti GE and had the vvti is300. Both were stock never let me down. Planning on building the SC up a little but keep most of it's reliability

[@aaronsanchezz]

The head gasket? Isn't the whole head different?

[@General-gu8it]

[@alejandrocervantes7123]

Ok… I get the difference… but with the ge can you rebuild the engine and upgrade those particular parts to make it as good or better than a gte???

[@mellopelas2857]

This was what I was wondering lmao

[@tb813allday9]

Only difference really between GE and GTE block are oil squirters in the GTE and the oil pump is different. The GE from 97 and before actually use the same thick rods as the GTE. Word has been out that’s why you can’t find 2jzge blocks anymore. Vvti GE uses weaker rods but has the better head. Ge/gte vvti heads use the same aftermarket cams. Another reason GTE head is more preferred is because of the front facing intake manifold which makes maintenance much easier and it looks better to most. With a good tune and today’s fuel options the 2jzge NON vvti will make the same power if not better since it’s higher compression. When either block is built everyone runs higher compression anyway and use forged pistons and almost all builders block off the oil squirters when using aftermarket so in today’s day in age it’s pretty much worthless to start with a GTE block unless keeping all stock

[@MrSamz400]

So the engine blocks are the same. Correct same crank, same rods, different pistons for compression. And can buy forged pistons and rods. (Rebuild the short block) and swap over, heads, intake, ect. From the gte.. right?.. It's like the 4.8 and 5.3 ls engine block

[@gooo1762]

Really good video. Thanks.

[@Hybrid_Adventurers]

Watched a pretty interesting video where Goleby's pulls down a GE and says that the exhaust ports will obviously allow for much better flow and interestingly enough all of the GE ports are alot more flat in terms of angle to the combustion chamber also appearing to increase overall flow once a larger turbo is used.
