During normal commute/daily drive, how high do you regularly twist your 2JZGE? 3000, 4000, 5000?

My 97 has 130k miles, runs great and doesn't use any oil, but I'm hesitant to take it above 4000rpm on a regular basis. I plan on keeping it for a long time!

Anyone here with long-term experience?

Thanks much,
Harpo

 

well i had mines for about 3 years now and for normal driving i usually stay under 3K rpms.

 

haha I take my 1uzfe to 6500 rpms daily, lmao. If I try, usually under 2.5k

 

i have a 1uz.. but yeah i try to keep it under 3k. sometimes i spurt up to 4.5k+

 

1UZ heads are too restrictive...winding this motor does anything but speed.

 

2j owned for almost 5yrs, use to redline daily, now maybe 5k or so a day, no problems here,

 

7200 rpm daily

 

i run my 2jz pretty hard but i run all synthetic oils so thats makes me feel better, ONE TIME i hit 7200 by accident i was at redline in third thought i shifted to fourth, but it was second i immidiately pushed the clutch in so it was at 7200 for about 1 second, even if your a really good driver you need to always pay attention to your shifts especially 3-4 while shifting at high rpm , this only happened once and i learned from my mistake

 

93' 180,000mile 2jz. I usually take it up to 5000-5200 at least one a day. I never go to 6000 during dd, but on ocassion i like to take it up there just to make sure its still got it lol.

 

before boost... redline
with boost... slightly before redline

 

daily i usually push 3-3.5k with the occasional push to 5k. Weekends is a different story...

 

I granny shift at 2k in a futile atempt to save gas. But when I do push it I shift at 6k.

 

Lately I avg out at 0 rpms. I haven't driven it for a bit. LOL

 

I was shocked my N/A 5speed Sc Rev to 9000 Rpm and nothing happend my home boy said that was the second Sc he seen do that. Unless somthing is wrong with the tack. It idles at 800-1200 it kind of floats somtimes and i have no check engine lights either.

 

thats nonsense their had to have been something wrong with the tach i think that 9000 rpm on a stock 2jz-ge would cause valvetrain damage or damage the bearings
