** We try to keep one built shortblock in stock at all times. Our next block available is a 10:1 CP Piston, Eagle Rod, ACL Bearing, ARP equipped, Fully Balanced and Assembled Block Stock Ready to Ship! **

Why spend an extra $1-3,000 more for a built short block, when we offer the exact same components (lets face it, everyone uses the same components) and many of the same machine shops everyone uses.

Truth be told not a single major Supra parts business has it's own machine shop, not one, us included. What we do have are machine shops (2) that have been machining 2JZ motors for years, so once we understand the application of the motor (race only, fast street car, etc), then we machine the block with the tolerances required.

We assemble and meticulously build each motor in-house. All all tolerances are checked and then double-checked. Crank has already been confirmed rotationally during high-speed final balancing.

Pistons weighed, rods weighed. We cannot describe everything, but suffice it to say, its a comprehensive build. Rings are hand filed and all torque settings done using SnapOn instruments. You end up with a professionally assembled motor ready for install.

2JZGTE/2JZGE engines that have been prepped for power with forged pistons, ARP hardware, micro-polished and chamfered OEM crankshafts, machined using state-of-the-art equipment and custom 2JZGTE specific billet torque plates are what our customers demand.

On top of this Supra owners want to make sure the motors are proven, cost-effective (budget minded) and available for quick turn around times.

Your wish is our desire. The SupraStore.com Stage 1+ race prepped 2JZGTE shortblock starting complete at well under $5000!

We start with a thoroughly inspected 2JZGTE bottom end, which is inspected, cleaned and then magnafluxed, prior to being selected for fitment of quality components.

The motors are then machined using a custom built billet torque plate (we have our own torque plates) so the motor stays "square and true" during machine work and prep for new forged pistons. Why we use a torque plate is explained in this video (same holds true for our motors).



Each cylinder is hand-fitted for each individual piston and ring tolerances are part of many various quality control and assurance steps in assembling your motor. ARP main studs are fitted, the crankshaft is fully serviced for best performance and oil retention.

The final rotating assembly using custom forged rods with ARP hardware (1250hp proven) and bearings is rotationally balanced for vibration free operation and minimization of oil starvation.

The latest trend in the 2JZ world is E85 fuel and higher compression motors. We can provide any compression ratio desired, but have found 10:1 and 10.5:1 ratios to be the most popular.

Piston price goes up when selecting compressions above 8.5:1 simply because of economics of manufacturing volumes. All the major piston builders build hundreds of stock compression pistons, so the cost is lower. High compression pistons are custom ordered.

For higher compression pistons please allow an extra few weeks on your build. Build time for standard compression pistons is only 3 weeks and 6 weeks for higher compression, so plan your project accordingly.

* If you are providing a 2JZGE motor, which will be used in a boosted application, please note that because there is no "oil-squirter" design in the non-turbo motor, that we will provide boost compliant forged pistons specific to this application. HP rating of 1250 is based upon proven Eagle rods, proper fuel, tuning and rpm limit of 9,000 rpm.

After ordering please telephone or email regarding shipping. Shipping and crating are additional. Typically including crating the cost in the lower 48 States is $265. We will always quote final ship to price. International shipping is always an estimate and will be final quoted at time of order.

Please note that if you are 'not supplying" an engine for us to build, then you can purchase the engine outright from us (select in drop down menu) using a seasoned block or a new OEM Toyota shortblock.

If doing a built head or block there will be a core charge asessed until your core is returned. If your core is sent in advance, no core charge applies.

If you prefer to purchase a core outright we're happy to oblige and use only factory new OEM Toyota cores. Please inquire via email or our 800# on core exchange.
