A 1JZ-GE
A Built 2JZ-GTE For 800hp
The Toyota JZ series engines, particularly the 1JZ-GTE and 2JZ-GTE, are legendary for their durability, smooth power delivery, and incredible tuning potential. Swapping one of these straight-six turbos into a lightweight Toyota Corolla instantly transforms an economy car into a high-performance machine with supercar-level horsepower potential. The iron block design of the JZ series is famously capable of handling massive amounts of boost on stock internals, with 500–600 horsepower easily attainable and 1,000+ horsepower builds proven around the world. This swap not only adds raw performance but also carries the prestige of one of the most iconic Japanese engines ever built, giving the Corolla a unique blend of sleeper styling and outrageous power.
Why JZ Engines Are Legendary
Beyond sheer numbers, a JZ swap offers a driving experience that few other modifications can match. The broad torque curve of the turbocharged inline-six provides effortless acceleration, while the aftermarket support ensures endless customization options for both street and track use. Dropping a JZ into a Corolla isn’t just about going fast, it’s about merging Toyota’s motorsport heritage with an everyday platform, creating a car that surprises unsuspecting rivals and excites its driver every time the throttle is pressed. It represents the pinnacle of the “sleeper build” philosophy: an unassuming Corolla hiding the heart of one of the most celebrated engines in tuner history.

Swap Requirements
A JZ swap is one of sickest and craziest swaps that Toyota has to offer. A JZ swap could never be a direct swap. The wiring setup is very challenging and the swap is not similar to any other setups. All the proper equipment from the donated car including a suitable or modified transmission is needed for a successful swap. These swaps requires a lot of customization including customed motor mounts, electronics/ECU, suspension, custumed high proformance axles, shifter, fuel system, cooling system, A/C/power steering, intake/exhaust, suspension/brakes, and tires. Turbo or supercharged applications may require upgraded injectors, upgraded ECU, a blot on or customed built manfold, fuel pump, and boost controller.
Is a JZ swap worth it in a Toyota Corolla?
A JZ swap transforms the Corolla into a high-performance sleeper capable of competing with modern sports cars. While the swap requires advanced fabrication, wiring, and drivetrain upgrades, the power, reliability, and aftermarket support of JZ engines make the effort worthwhile for serious enthusiasts.
