difference between 2.4 and 2.7

how do u tell which you have i just got a 98 tacoma and arent sure i just know its not original to the truck

 

Where?

 

Ooo ok so it's gona b small

 

Stupid question...Do you have the owners manual by any chance?

 

Sorry, misunderstood what he wrote.

 

Found it pretty big actually to bad it said 2rz though

 

Wouldnt I rather 2.7? Or is there other differences

 

O ok cool

 

Better mpg with the smaller guy. That's what ive got and i have no regrets.

 

yup yup thats what im running and runs like a champ 280k miles

 

.3

 

i like having 8 hp more with the 2.7

 

I am running a 1998 2RZ-FE in my 94 Hilux. When it comes time to rebuild it (has 72K miles on the engine) I am going to build a hybrid using a 3RZ-FE crank and flywheel. (The 2RZ can rev higher as well since it doesn't have the scissor gears and balance shafts that the 3RZ has.) I will get the longer stroke of the 2.7 and the higher rev of the 2.4!

 

your so lucky you have a hilux, did u put in that 2.4?

 

You do know the blocks are different? 3rz has a taller block due to longer stroke..

 

really? I understand that the stroke on the 3RZ is 5mm longer than the 2RZ but I was unaware that the blocks were different heights. I have some friends that are Toyota technicians and I will have to ask them what the best course of action would be to stroke my 2.4.

 

Stroked engines don't like to rev. Keep the 2.4 and get a valvetrain kit from paradise racing and rev it to 7500 easy

 

im at 229k and get 27mpg highway

 

Why would you want to rev TRUCK engine high? With any TRUCK activities you will use most torque down low. Under 3.5k rpm....

I love my 2TR-FE, has plenty of torque down low even with 3.33 gears and 31x10.5x15 tires. I can't wait to put some 4.56 gears in!

 

i blown up my 2.7 motor one day when coming down from the mountainside while still on 4low. didn't have the cash and was in a rush so i pick up a 2.4 and its weak. what a dumbass!!!! i'm gonna pick up a new motor hopefully next year.
