6. Exhaust Manifold
A stainless steel exhaust manifold with an integrated TWC (Three-Way Catalytic converter) is used for
warm-up of the TWC and for weight reduction.
An ultra thin-wall, high-cell density, ceramic type TWC is used. This TWC is incorporated on each of the
right and left banks.
This TWC improves exhaust emissions by optimizing the cells density and the wall thickness.
7. Exhaust Pipe
The exhaust pipe is made of stainless steel for improved rust resistance.
A thin-wall, ceramic type TWC is used.
Ball joints are used at two places: one at the exhaust center pipe joint, and the other between the exhaust
center pipe and the tailpipe. As a result, a simple construction and reliability are realized.

FUEL SYSTEM
1. General
The fuel returnless system is used to reduce evaporative emissions.
A fuel cut control is used to stop the fuel pump when the SRS airbag is deployed in a frontal or side
collision. For details, see page EG-53.
The fuel delivery pipe made of plastic is used.
A quick connector is used to connect the fuel pipe with the fuel hose for excellent serviceability.
Compact 12-hole type injectors are used to increase atomization of the fuel.
A compact fuel pump in which a fuel filter is integrated in the fuel pump assembly is used.
The ORVR (On-board Refueling Vapor Recovery) system is used. For details, see page EG-131.

2. Fuel Returnless System
This type of fuel system is used to reduce the evaporative emission. As shown below, by integrating the fuel
filter and pressure regulator with fuel pump assembly, the fuel return system in which the fuel returns from
the engine area is discontinued and temperature rise inside the fuel tank is prevented.
3. Fuel Delivery Pipe
The fuel delivery pipe made of plastic is used to realize lightweight.
The right and left fuel delivery pipes are connected by a nylon tube.
The pulsation damper is sealed with an O-ring and secured with a holder.

IGNITION SYSTEM
1. General
A DIS (Direct Ignition System) is used. The DIS improves the ignition timing accuracy, reduces high-voltage
loss, and enhances the overall reliability of the ignition system by eliminating the distributor.
The DIS is an independent ignition system which has one ignition coil (with igniter) for each cylinder.
2. Ignition Coil
The DIS provides 6 ignition coils, one for each
cylinder. The spark plug cap, which provides
contact to the spark plug, are integrated with an
ignition coil. Also, an igniter is enclosed to
simplify the system.

3. Spark Plug
Long-reach type spark plugs are used. This type of spark plugs allow the area of the cylinder head to
receive the spark plugs to be made thick. Thus, the water jacket can be extended near the combustion
chamber, which contributes to cooling performance.
Iridium-tipped spark plugs are used to achieve a 120,000 miles (193,000 km) maintenance interval. By
making the center electrode of iridium, the superior ignition performance as platinum-tipped spark plugs
is achieved and durability has been increased.

2. Dual Winding System (For Towing Package Models and Models with RSES)
A dual winding system is used. This system consists of two sets of three-phase windings whose phases are
staggered 30
. Because the generated waves from the respective windings cancel out each other, magnetic
noise is reduced.
3. Generator Pulley
A one-way clutch is set to the generator pulley. Operation of the one-way clutch cancels generator pulley
inertia and helps to prevent slipping of the V-ribbed belt. This realizes a low tension V-ribbed belt that
achieves reduced friction.

STARTING SYSTEM
The 2GR-FE engine uses the same starter as the 2AZ-FE engine. For details, see page EG-27.
SERPENTINE BELT DRIVE SYSTEM
1. General
Accessory components are driven by a serpentine belt consisting of a single V-ribbed belt. It reduces the
overall engine length, weight and the number of engine parts.
An automatic tensioner eliminates the need for tension adjustment.
2. Automatic Tensioner
The tension of the V-ribbed belt is properly maintained by the tension spring that is enclosed in the automatic
tensioner.
