3. Cylinder Head
The cylinder head structure has been simplified by separating the cam journal portion (camshaft housing)
from the cylinder head.
The cylinder head, which is made of aluminum, contains a pentroof-type combustion chamber. The spark
plug is located in the center of the combustion chamber in order to improve the engine’s anti-knocking
performance.
The intake ports are on the inside and the exhaust ports are on the outside of the left and right banks
respectively.
Upright intake ports are used to improve the intake efficiency.
A taper squish combustion chamber is used to improve anti-knocking performance and intake efficiency.
In addition, engine performance and fuel economy have been improved.
The siamese type intake port is used to reduce the overall surface area of the intake port walls. This
prevents the fuel from adhering onto the intake port walls, thus reducing HC exhaust emissions.

Alumite
Coating EG-76
A compact block has been achieved by producing the thin cast-iron liners and cylinder block as a unit. It
is not possible to bore the block with this liner.
The liners are the spiny-type, which have been manufactured so that their casting exteriors form large
irregular surfaces in order to enhance the adhesion between the liners and the aluminum cylinder block.
The enhanced adhesion helps improve heat dissipation, resulting in a lower overall temperature and heat
deformation of the cylinder bores.
5. Piston
The piston is made of aluminum alloy.
The piston head portion uses a taper squish shape to accomplish fuel combustion efficiency.
The piston skirt is coated with resin to reduce the friction loss.
The groove of the top ring is coated with alumite to ensure wear resistance.
By increasing the machining precision of the cylinder bore diameter, the outer diameter of the piston is
made into one size.

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.

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
1. General
The engine control system of the 2GR-FE engine has the following features.
System
Outline
SFI
(Sequential Multiport
Fuel Injection)
[See page EG-117]
An L-type SFI system detects the intake air mass with a hot-wire type air
flow meter.
ESA
(Electronic Spark
Advance)
Ignition timing is determined by the ECM based on signals from various
sensors. The ECM corrects ignition timing in response to engine
knocking.
This system selects the optimal ignition timing in accordance with the
signals received from the sensors and sends the (IGT) ignition signal to
the igniter.
ETCS-i
(Electronic Throttle
Control
System-intelligent)
[See page EG-118]
Optimally controls the throttle valve opening in accordance with the amount
of accelerator pedal effort and the condition of the engine and the vehicle.
Dual VVT-i
(Variable Valve
Timing-intelligent)
System
[See page EG-120]
Controls the intake and exhaust camshafts to an optimal valve timing in
accordance with the engine condition.
ACIS
(Acoustic Control
Induction System)
[See page EG-126]The intake air passages are switched according to the engine speed and
throttle valve opening angle to provided high performance in all speed
ranges.
Air Intake Control
System
[See page EG-128]The intake air duct is divided into two areas, and the ECM controls the air
intake control valve and the actuator that are provided in one of the areas to
reduce the amount of engine noise.
Fuel Pump Control
[See page EG-53 in
2AZ-FE section]Fuel pump operation is controlled by signals from the ECM.
The fuel pump is stopped, when the SRS airbag is deployed in a frontal,
side, and rear side collision.
Air Conditioning Cut-off
ControlBy turning the air conditioning compressor ON or OFF in accordance with
the engine condition, drivability is maintained.
Charging Control
[See page EG-65 in
2AZ-FE section]The engine ECU regulates the charging voltage of the generator in
accordance with the driving conditions and the charging state of the battery.
Cooling Fan Control
[See page EG-129]
The cooling fan ECU steplessly controls the speed of the fans in accordance
with the engine coolant temperature, vehicle speed, engine speed, and air
conditioning operating conditions. As a result, the cooling performance is
improved.
