the 1jzgte 2.5 liter twin turbo came in the JZA70 Supras. Same body as the MkIII's here in America, but the engine was never put into any USDM Supra's, or any car sold in America for that matter. It also came in the Soarer (Lexus SC300 body in America) and a few others in Japan and maybe Europe and Australia too. The only way to get it here in America is to have it imported and installed into a USDM Supra. The best way is to import a front clip (pretty much the entire front half of the car) with the engine and wiring and all the extras needed to do the swap.

The engine is basically the little brother of the 2jzgte 3.0 liter twin turbo that came in the MkIV Supra and is just about as powerful or at least w/ just as much potential (800+HP on stock internals) it has less torque due to it's smaller displacement, but also revs better for the same reason. It will not however pass emissions checks in America due to the lack of much of the emissions control features required by the U.S. Govt.
