Jake Thompson

Hey there! I'm Jake Thompson, but you can call me "Turbo." With over a decade of experience as an automotive engineer and performance tuner, I've dedicated my career to unlocking the full potential of Toyota's legendary 2JZ engines. From high-octane drag strips to precision-tuned street machines, I've built, modified, and raced some incredible 2JZ-powered vehicles.My journey with the 2JZ engine began during my college years, where I embarked on my first engine build, transforming a standard 2JZ-GE into a roaring performance beast. That project ignited a passion that has only grown stronger over the years. Whether it's winning races, mentoring aspiring tuners, or capturing the perfect shot of a finely tuned engine, I live and breathe automotive performance.Outside the garage, you'll find me exploring off-road trails with my 2JZ-powered truck, working on DIY projects, or honing my skills in automotive photography. I believe in pushing the boundaries of what's possible while fostering a strong community of like-minded enthusiasts. This blog is my way of sharing the knowledge, tips, and passion that fuel my obsession with all things 2JZ. Whether you're just starting your journey or looking to push your engine to new heights, you're in the right place. Let's rev up those engines together!Future Goals:Expand the blog with video tutorials and interactive Q&A sessions. Collaborate with top automotive brands for exclusive content and reviews. Develop a comprehensive 2JZ performance kit for enthusiasts of all levels.
