You have neither 1JZ nor 2JZ engines.

You have a 1UZ-FE engine, 4.0 Liter-V8.

for reference:

1JZ-GTE = JDM Toyota Soarer - 2.5 Liter TwinTurbo I6
2JZ-GE = USDM SC300 - 3 Liter I6
2JZ-GTE = 1993.5-1998 Toyota Supra - 3 Liter TwinTurbo I6

unlike the JZ engines, you have a remarkably difficult engine to milk significant power from. That being said, you own one of the smoothest, most luxurious, and most reliable V8's ever produced. I am sure you will learn to love your UZ, even though it is not a JZ.
