    Builds 1988 Toyota pickup completed 2tr-fe swap writeup

    I figured I would give a long term update on the 2tr swap. I converted the pickup into a 1st gen 4runner and during the maiden voyage the fan hit the bottom of the radiator and causing it to dump all the coolant. I did not know that so I catastrophically overheated it and killed the engine that...

    I can but the truck really doesn't like it. it looses speed at the slightest incline

    they are not power monsters from the factory but the 2tr does make an extra 42 ft-lbs of torque and 42 more hp. the 2tr-fe also takes boost really really well. you can easily get another 100hp out of it with a turbo or super charger.

    I had to notch the hood so the radiator cap would fit, but yes it shuts.

    so a little more wiring info. To install the OBDII port you will need to pull the canbus terminator from the donor truck. its buried in the dash next to the radio. unplug everything but the plug to the ecu and the plug that goes to the obdII port. Cruise control is actually pretty...

    it was fun haha. my ecu fits in the factory location. the 2tr-fe ecu and 22re ecu are almost exactly the same size.

    oh I know. I have a "L" diesel out of a 82 pickup at my parent's house from a 82 pickup so I am pretty knowledgeable about the Toyota L series diesel engines. parts availability on short notice is why I went with the 2tr. I put roughly 40k miles on my truck per year and I don't want to be...

    now onto wiring, what is quite possibly the biggest pain in the ass and the scariest part of this swap for most people. so thankfully Toyota was pretty kind and the 2tr engine harness is pretty self contained and has most of the things you need for it to run. however what I learned is the engine...

    alright so continuing the writeup, accessories. power steering was surprisingly easy to hook up. the 22r power steering pressure hose threaded right into the 2tr pump. A/C is a huge pain in the ass to hook up. the factory line set from the Tacoma is too big and does not fit next to the frame. I...

    I did consider a diesel swap but I wanted to keep it all Toyota and I didn't want something that was difficult to source parts for, and its kinda nice knowing that if I need 2tr parts they are readily available since they are still in production.

    now for engine mounts. the short block of the 2tr-fe is basically identical to the 3rz so at least in theory 3rz swap mounts will fit. However for me, air conditioning was non negotiable and the drivers side 3rz swap bracket was going to be in the way of the A/C compressor. so what I did was I...

    now onto transmission compatibility. the donor truck was a 5speed manual truck. the 5 speed 4cyl 2nd gen Tacoma's use a r155f transmission. the bellhousing can be used to adapt a 2tr to a v6 transmission however my truck has a w56 and I wanted to keep that. the magic mix of parts needed is a w59...

    Hello guys! so I have noticed that during the research phase of my 2tr-fe swap there is pretty much no info about this swap other than 1 post on the yotatechs form from 2019 with a lot of info missing, so I figured I should pass along what I have learned. to date I have about 20,000ish miles on...
