Why You Need A BIG TURBO 2JZ FOUR DOOR SUPRA: Toyota Aristo

The Toyota Aristo JZS147 is the car that gave birth to the legendary 2JZ-GTE. The engine that is famously found in the MK4 Toyota Supra. This 'four door Supra' known as the Aristo is the vehicle that pioneered the way for Toyota's iconic sports car for years to come. Often overshadowed by it's two door counterpart, today we reveal why the Toyota Aristo / Lexus GS300 is the more than just a four door supra with Mick's one-of-a-kind fully built big turbo 2JZ Toyota Aristo!

Fun fact: The 2J engine was intented for the Aristo, not the Supra

[@ClayWong]

Long live the Aristo!🔥

[@ItsGeezee]

2jz turbo or non turbo? For the aristo

[@804MRMAN]

​@@ItsGeezeeIts the first car with the 2JZGTE. That should answer your question lol

[@ItsGeezee]

@@804MRMAN thank you. A few cars came with 2jz, just curious if it was turbo or non turbo. They didn't state 2jzgte or 2jzge

[@804MRMAN]

@@ItsGeezee Yes there were 4 versions ; 2jzfse, 2jzge, 2jzgte and 2jzge-vvti. The GTE ( turbo ) version first came in the ARISTO, followed by the Mark iv Supra...Fun Fact: Toyota has many inline 6 engines. It's just that the 2jz and 1jz blocks are the holy grail inline 6's!!!

Hey Mick, beautiful car sir. What transmission do you have in the car?

[@MickOBrien-MOB]

@@latelle It was the original stock box sent to a company "AV Automatics" in South Australia who built the internals for 600kw with a 3000 stall and installed a stage 2 shift kit.

always didnt like the tone of the 2jz almost sounds like a barra, i know there amazing engines and better than the 1j but the 1j sounds so much better imo, this aristo however is pretty cool and out of the ordinary solid looking build.

I bought a na mx5 by accident. A 85 yr old was filling up at a servo and I said you don’t see many, he said he never drives it so I asked if he wanted to sell it. He said yes so I bought it. It was really cheap, got it for 6 grand when they sold for about 9 at the time (start of COVID)

[@Ieatpeople2]

i have the lame USDM version, the GS300. But, ive added BC 264 cams and a friend fabricated a single turbo kit for me so its not quite as lame as it was. I'm just waiting for life to quit bending me over so i can put the car back together. I took it apart about 5yrs ago to do a 6spd conversion and haven't made time for it since

[@TheSwedishCarGuy]

Dreamcar would be a first gen 1 aristo like this one :D EPIC :)

[@MrDreamer60]

Its very slow tbh. Its heavy. My mate had one and a supra tt bpu before. Its v v slow compared to supra dont be fooled

[@TheSwedishCarGuy]

@@MrDreamer60 ive driven a bpu gen 2 aristo, sure it wasn't the fastest one. But supra is still OVERRATED tbh. Driven Supra as well, and sure it feels a little bit quicker, but still the most overrated jdm car ever.

[@MrDreamer60]

​@@TheSwedishCarGuy I have a supra rx7 and sl500 and many other cars. You have to remember for the time in 1994-1998 a bpu supra was incredibly fast for the time. And extremely eye catching design as was rx7s. A single turbo supra of that time was like nothing else other than r33s and r32s. Same as all those jap cars for that era. Now yes for prices they go for its all nostalgia priced in. I paid £1900 gbp for my supra when no one wanted them. I wouldn't pay £50k now for it. Also most people were totally unaware of 90s jap car performance until youtube videos came about in late 2000s.

[@davidt3196]

The comment just above yours is from the owner saying it's for sale.

[@denisclough5256]

Only a relative few factory turbo jzs147 aristo's survived the mass slaughter for their engines world wide..and considering they were the originator of the 2jz gte engine..theyve become sought after and a great investment.. Hugely underated Toyota..and such a clessy timeless design..

[@vasilisaristo2jzgte355]

I agree with all you say my friend. I have a 93 aristo 3.0V and i just bye one more with no engine, transmission, differential and axl, just for cover mine, because you don't find part's like jzs161. The guy i take have other 3 like this. I can't understand why they doing this in that amazing car. They can find other engines to put in they cars, 2jz is heavy for that they want. The supra gt 500 don't have 2jzgte, have from celica, if i remember right, an example for those who think supra take 2jz only and destroy aristo for nothing. The owner of 2jz is the aristo jzs147 and only, all the others just they were borrowed the 2jz, because they don't "born" with engine.

[@toomanycars4800]

I bought my v300 in 2016, after I sold my supra and missed it too much. Although this feels heavier and more sluggish, it does start to resemble the supra in the way it drives above 100km/h. I recon a manual swap would sort out some of the lackluster response at lower revs, but it might be i just don't like the way the twin turbos feel. I'll find out eventually I suppose. Still an awesome high speed cruiser, but I expect it could be way more fun with a single turbo and a manual.

[@804MRMAN]

1st gen Aristo 3,660lbs; MK4 supra TT 3,325lbs, 2nd gen GS300 3,704lbs... You couldn't tell the difference in weight, it's all in your head 😂😂😂

[@toomanycars4800]

The difference in weight between my supra and aristo is like adding 4 passengers. If you can't feel that, you're not much of a driver to be honest. The aristo is less keen on turn in, a bit lazier to come back from a slide (longer wheelbase also contributes to this) and doesn't stop quite as quick. Also factoring in that I've got a fully optioned aristo with tv and an air purifyer, and the supra was a base model slick top, the weight difference is bigger than what you copied off wikipedia.

[@liambennetts9539]

I like Mick, he is just not phased lmao

[@phukup87]

Who built the transmission? Thanks in advance

[@bradprice1668]

i own a jzs 147 aristo and am currently saving 10k to covert for single turbo i cant wait, and honestly 147 is the best!!!! the 161 looks like a mercedes, and also, non vvti is better for reason 1. cheaper 2. easier to work on, 3 dont have to worry about small pistons and rods, 4 non vvti is stronger from the factory, ( dont get me wrong a vvti stock twin is the one u want, but for this case of bulding. he is wrong the non vvti witch mine and this guys car has is the one u want, as u dont have to do much internal work, love the build mines so close to looking like this and soundling like this cant wait.

[@ToyotaAristo]

No offense but you got it all wrong. 2JZ-GTE VVTI and NON VVTI GTE share the same bottom end (you can search for the PN).. Also VVTIs are more efficient for single turbo builds and will spool the turbo much sooner.. They are not "more difficult to work" or "more expensive" in any possible... VVTIs GTE is just a better and more efficient engine unless you are in the +1500hp/2000hp where VVTI is useless.

[@bradprice1668]

@@ToyotaAristo i clearly stated, that non vvti are easied and cheaper to build due to having bigher pistons and rods factory so u dont have to upgrade internals for over 400 whp, with the vvti u need to rebuild internals for over 400whp, thats why i said 2jzge non vvti is better then 2jzge vvti, but youd definitely want a 2jzgte vvti for a realiable 700 whp without having to upgrade anything apart from turbos and maybe cam

[@gavinr9107]

@@bradprice1668 The way you said it I interpreted it the exact same manner as ToyotaAristo did. You can actually get 'thick rod' 2JZ-GE vvti engines in some models I believe. My best mate has a collection of JZX90/100 cars and been working on and building up / modifying them for the past fifteen years.
