For engine nerds - 2GR FKS deep dive

Just wanted to share this .pdf link separately in its own thread. It’s a pretty interesting read if you find this sort of stuff interesting. Not sure it’s gonna help you when you break down on the trail, but maybe.

Interesting the Octane rating is 91

 

Yeah I was wondering about that. There’s some different ways of describing octane rating. I wonder if that’s what we are seeing.

 

Thanks. I had this in my refs so I think you may have shared it before. These are informative as well:

Yup, gonna read these

And a little bump to this thread.

 

Great link!

This link has tons of reference info on various Toyota and Lexus models, service manuals even!... easy to research most of the GR engines and the differences required to fit in their respective platforms. Plenty of foreign and diesel in there, too.

Owners manual reads:
Select octane rating 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher.

 

Nice!

I've had that doc for a few years now, very informative.

Note that on page 131, the crank timing rotor and position sensor are both depicted on the front of the block...

That is most certainly NOT where they are on the 2GR-FKS lol!

 

I'm gonna also leave this here. Not a 2GR but has lots of the same tech.

It's an incredibly interesting teardown and you can see the attention to detail that Toyota puts into these motors (failure aside - never know what the story of some engines are).

 

Bump for a great reference for the 2GR-FKS V6 engine.

Anyone got a similar reference for the 3rd gen 2TR-FE, 4 cylinder engine? Would love to find one, haven’t so far.

Not nearly as comprehensive but informative nonetheless:

Thanks John, any information is helpful!

 

Hit the links in post #6. No Tacoma, but the Hilux and other models have the 2TR... plenty of info should cross.
