In this video we teardown the Toyota M series engine from a Toyota Supra to see what’s inside and how it works!
Engines from the earlier 80’s were built strong and tough and ultimately what built Toyota’s reputation for quality, reliability, but more fueled the sports car scene with cars like the Toyota Supra. These cars would be the basis of many builds, with an iron block, aluminum head engine with a simple, sturdy design that could easily take modifications and extra boost if turbocharged.
In this video, a Toyota 5M-GE 2.8L inline 6 engine is taken apart from a 1986 Toyota Supra. This engine was also used in the Toyota Cressida. We also tear down a 6M-GE from a Toyota Soarer, which was a JDM-only engine.

They feature an aluminum air intake manifold with both throttle body and electronic fuel injections. A myriad of vacuum and cooling lines take place of a complicated wiring harness that would be on a modern engine, since sensors and actuators were non-existent in the more mechanically moderated designs of the 80’s. The engine features 2 valves per cylinder, with hydraulic lifters, dual overhead camshafts, an iron block and very thick, heavy pistons. Adding these characteristics together made the engine legendary not only for its simplicity, but with the tuning community that found it’s sturdy design very robust for racing and competitive applications.
The successor to the Toyota M series of engines was the JZ series, which followed suit with many of the design cues from the M series. That started with the 1JZ in the Mark 3 Toyota Supra in 1990 and the ever so popular 2JZ series of engines in 1993.
