Toyota 2TR-FE engine reliability,

problems and repair
Despite all the advantages of 3RZ-FE engine, by 2003 it has become too
outdated. However, Toyota engineers decided not to send this good motor to
the museum, they decided to update it. The new engine has been named 2TR-
FE, it uses 3RZ cylinder block and new cylinder head. This head features a
new variable valve timing system VVTi on the intake side. It uses hydraulic
lifters, so you do not need to adjust the valves. This engine uses a new timing
chain. Also, 2TR-FE uses a modified plastic intake manifold and an electronic
throttle body. The engine control unit is completely changed.
These upgrades have added about 10 HP and increased torque at low engine
speeds. Also, 2TR fuel consumption has improved; it was a big problem in the
prior 3RZ engine.
In 2015, 2TR engine was upgraded. Since then, it features a variable valve
timing system Dual-VVTi, on the intake and exhaust sides. Also, the
compression ratio in these engines increased to 10.2, they feature the new
connecting rod bearings, and the intake ports have changed.
In general, the 2TR is the modernized 3RZ.
Besides this 2.7 liter engine, Toyota TR series also includes a 2 liter 1TR.

Toyota 2TR engine problems and malfunctions

Compared with 3RZ, 2TR design has become more complex, but it still
remains very reliable and durable. However, 2TR has some weaknesses:
1. Oil leak. Until 2008, the 2TR engines had a problem of a front crankshaft
oil seal leak. It is solved via buying a new front crankshaft oil seal revision.
2. Vibration at idle. This problem happens when it is very cold. The reason is
the automatic transmission. You just need to replace the transmission oil, then
the vibration stops.
For 2TR-FE, you should use only that engine oil that is recommended by the
manufacturer. If you maintain it regularly, its lifespan may be more than
250,000 miles of mileage (400,000 km).
Toyota 2TR engine tuning
2TR Turbo. Supercharger
Increasing the power of this engine is as simple as in case of 3RZ. You can
buy the following 2TR performance parts: cold air intake, headers, and
aftermarket exhaust system.
But it will not give you a lot of power, only the loud sound. It is much better
to buy a turbo kit or a supercharger kit. Quite a lot of turbo kits are available
in stores. Basically, they use Garrett T3/T4 turbocharger or cheap Chinese
turbochargers. All these solutions allow you to get a 250+ horsepower on 2TR
stock internals. But Chinese kits are not very durable, and, probably, after a
few thousand miles, you will have to buy a new turbocharger.
URD 2TR supercharger kit is a good choice, if you are willing to spend a lot
of money. These solutions use Rotrex C30-94 supercharger. They are easy to
install on stock internals and they are able to give 250-270 HP. There is no
need in making a more powerful project, just buy V8.
