Hey Gang,

I just talked to my mechanic earlier today and i ask him if there is a different between 2JZGTE and 2JZGE. He said the block is the same except GTE has oil and water outlet. He stated that Toyota/Lexus would not make a different block because of turbo. This is my conclusion. GE and GTE has the same block, but GTE is equiped for Turbochargers. I am right? Internal is another topic.

That's probably true. I'd bet they just stamped the name differently and drilled a couple extra holes for the oil feeds on the turbo block (amoung other little things). The original castings were probably made together.
