@FrankensteinMotorworks
@FrankensteinMotorworks Год назад
Yeah, that right there highlights one huge advantage to the 2AR, Toyota made very few variations on it, there's the 2ar-fe and the 1ar-fe both of which are lower compression versions (10.4 and 10.0) with the 2.5 and 2.7L displacement respectively but with the same camshafts across the entire production run and there's the 2AR-FXE which has 12.5:1 compression and a much bigger intake camshaft but also there's only one variation of that. All three of these are very much usable for performance engines, there's no need to narrow it down to model, year & originating market specific variations where some are good and some are bad. There's a minimum of 6 million of these engines that were made and likely quite a bit more because it was the base engine in the camry for 9 years and also the hybrid motor for the camry for most of those years also. It was also the base model engine for the Rav4, highlander, sienna and venza and other than the sienna most of those were built with the base motor (most siennas got the 3.5L V6 instead which is also a great motor) and there's also the scion tC which got it exclusively. Plus with the age range it is just starting to enter pick & pull yards where you can get an engine for $300 all day long and they will be there for the next decade or so. We aren't about to run out of these engines.

Looking forward to the intake cam timing experiment, and great to see this data in your videos. I noticed what sounded like a hard rev-limiter kicking in at the end of each pull. Is that a factory rev limiter, and do you know what the factory rev limit would be for the 2AR-FE in a 2015 Camry LE? Lastly, do you know how high these motors can safely rev, especially relative to any(?) rev limit imposed by the factory PCM/ECU?
@FrankensteinMotorworks
@FrankensteinMotorworks Год назад
The new revision of the 2AR-FXE build has been done and it ended up being great. The dual vvt-i system is not needed to be swapped in for this build to still make great power (235whp). The factory limiter on the 2AR-FE can vary from car to car, i've seen it as low as 6200rpm and as high as 6500rpm. With the stock 2AR-FE cams i've found no issues revving it to 7200rpm safely and with the dual 2AR-FXE intake cams it revs safely to 7600rpm due to the slightly softer ramps.

Hey definitely been following your channel for the past year bc you've really pioneered a lot for the 2AR build. I'm sitting on 2 short blocks and a long block (all due the the field I work in.) And while watching this video I had to stop and do some personal digging. at 5:48 you hit 271hp on the camshafts that you swapped out. I'm not sure if you went from the 2AR-FE cams to the FXE cams but the one thing I can confirm is the 2AR-FE cam is bigger than the FXE. Probably shouldn't disclose this info but the FE having a cam lobe height of (44.163 to 44.305 mm) and very similar to the exhaust compared to the FXE cam lobe height being (43.814 to 43.914 mm) and being about a mm smaller on its exhaust cam. YET I had to see the cam on your website and you listed that "These camshafts are 289 degree advertised, 240 degree at 0.050” with 12.2mm lift. The grind is asymmetric." ARE THE CAMS YOU SELLING ADDING AN ADDITIONALLY 12.2MM OF CAM HEIGHT????????????

Yes, the FXE cams have less lift but they have a lot more duration than the FE so they do end up flowing a lot better. The cams i sell really are quite big but keep in mind, 12.2mm is the total lift at the valve, for comparison, the FXE cams are 9.9mm lift at the valve. quite a bit more than the lift at the lobe because the rockers do magnify the lift quite a bit.

@FrankensteinMotorworks
@FrankensteinMotorworks Год назад
@@chrisking5521 The idea is not bad at all but unfortunately those injectors are about 430cc injectors. The V8 motors make more power but have twice as many injectors to do it with so the injectors are not that much bigger than the 2AR's injectors. Toyota already has a pretty large margin of extra flow on the pump gas vehicles and they only seem to increase the injector size 5-10% for the flex fuel vehicles. In order to find an injector bigger than the current 545cc injectors i use you need to look at Toyota vehicles that make over 60hp/cylinder on E85 or 65hp/cylinder on pump gas. So for an I4 that would be 260hp, a V6 would be 390hp and a V8 would have to make over 520hp. And keep in mind that the direct injected engines make peak power on direct injection so they need to be port injected only engines. Unfortunately this ends up being a pretty standard problem. I find a solution to a problem and then the demand goes up and the market shoots up. I don't have a great solution for this because the solutions i do find are sometimes quite good but then they cease to be as soon as people hear about it.

@FrankensteinMotorworks

Interestingly, the 5VZ and 2AR share a very similar bolt pattern, odds are it would bolt up to the transmission directly. If that trans is hydraulically controlled then it would even still work fine but you may have a bit of a mess to deal with if it's an electronically controlled transmission.

Hi, i've been planning to build either a 2zz or a 7age 20v for my AE92 Corolla, but now that i know about the 2ar, it really makes me think about doing that instead ! The big question i have is the dimensions of the engine and trans. The 2ar looks tall af ! And i'm not even sure the trans would fit without cutting the chassis. Could you share rough measurements of the dimensions of the engine and trans for people who want to check if it will fit in other cars ? Thanks, keep doing your R&D, you're doing a huge favor to the Toyota community and i'm pretty sure we are about to witness the end of the Honda K series reign !
@FrankensteinMotorworks
@FrankensteinMotorworks Год назад
Yes, it is quite tall. a better comparison than dimensions since it has been shoved into so many cars is that this engine is essentially the same dimensions as a 3s-gte with the charge cooler mounted above the valve cover like they do in the GT4. flywheel to harmonic balancer is right there on par with the bigger 4 cylinders that toyota makes including the 3s-gte again. With the narrow e series transmission (E350/E351 & others) it becomes very narrow and will likely fit wherever that 7A was before but the height will probably get you. height is 28", width is 13" and length is 20.5" including the pulley.

I admit in my head I'm imagining a 12.5:1 FXE block with the 1AR crank and the DI heads... I fully realize the rest of the FSE is different, but surely there's SOME similarities for the FSE to be in the same family. Could foresee tune difficulties as well, naturally. I just feel silly now.
@FrankensteinMotorworks
@FrankensteinMotorworks 6 месяцев назад
We really don't get the 2AR-FSE engine here so i don't have access to it. That said, the 12.5 compression that comes from the FXE is in the pistons and they aren't compatible with the 2.7L crankshaft. Direct injection also adds a whole other level of tuning complexity. Generally at the tuner level the juice is not worth the squeeze there.

Hey Marc, I’m really happy with what you’ve done for the 2AR-FE. As a 2014 Scion tC owner, I get excited seeing how far you’ve pushed the engine so far. I was wondering how an E85 conversion for this engine in my tC would fare. Someone on RU-vid posted years ago of his conversion and dyno results, which showed him getting a bit over 205whp with just e85, headers and a cold air intake. Unfortunately he isn’t active and it wasn’t clear what he said was needed for the conversion; it sounded like he just upgraded his injectors to 550cc and replaced his fuel pump with some 255 fuel pump. Is that really all that’s needed? Would I see some performance gains with this conversion and no tune? Would the car even run with the conversion and no tune? Any advice and help would be greatly appreciated.
@FrankensteinMotorworks
@FrankensteinMotorworks Год назад
E85 on a stock 2AR would likely gain nothing. the motor has no knock anywhere in the factory configuration so there would be no timing advantage to E85. Making 205whp on a bone stock 2AR is doable, i've already done it and this video you commented on showed 195whp with a catalytic converter and a chambered muffler.
@juancorona3893
@juancorona3893 Год назад
@@FrankensteinMotorworks That +200hp is what my goal is, hopefully it’s doable with an automatic. When I bought my tC, I went automatic because I wasn’t making much money at the time and I was driving a lot and my brother whose always had manuals mentioned that if I ever need to replace the clutch, since all these cars are used now and will eventually need it, it would set me back more than the money I would have had. So for E85, but this time with an E85 tune, and nothing done internally, just a CAI and a catback exhaust that only gets rid of the 2nd cat, you don’t think it would net any performance increase?

@@FrankensteinMotorworks gotcha, I found the guy on RU-vid that did the E85 on his tC, his name and his channel is called Sean Chavez and he has the orange RS 9.0 tC, apparently he got like around 20hp more without changing the timing and he got a bit more with a tune. I was still considering going E85 even if power stays the same since it’s about $2.89/gal here in Cali vs at least $4.99 for regular gas and even if I lose up to like 25% range, which I heard is the high end of how much range you could lose on E85 vs regular, that’s still nets about 15% savings, and I fill up about every 4 days so it should add up. Idk if you’d like to check out Sean Chavez’s channel, he isn’t active, but has posted videos around his E85 tune and showing his dyno results, maybe there’s another variable at play, but his gains seem on he high side and even before your help, I thought those gains were a bit too high.

I am looking at trading in my 2014 Corolla S for a 2015 or 16 Scion tC. The motor as you know comes with 180hp stock. How did you get it up to that 195hp? I would love too! I would like a little more horsepower while keeping my motor just about stock since it is my daily and I drive a lot.
@FrankensteinMotorworks
@FrankensteinMotorworks Год назад
keep in mind, that 180hp rating is at the crankshaft, the 195whp rating is at the wheels and is much closer to 225hp at the crank or so. Making it a 45hp gain, not a 15hp gain. But all i did is open up the intake and exhaust and let the motor breathe, that gained most of the power and the rest was gained by tweaking the tune to lean it out a bit at the top and also adjust the timing slightly. Note that the only reason the tune adjustments made power is because so much more air was flowing into the engine so it was outside of it's optimal tune. The stock tune is not restricting power until quite a bit more air makes it into the engine.

The 270whp build is very streetable, still has plenty of torque down low to drive it around.

If it's a manual camry then it's just going to be wiring for an aftermarket ECU, overall a somewhat simple mod.

@FrankensteinMotorworks
@FrankensteinMotorworks Год назад
The 2AR-FSE is actually a significantly different engine. The head casting is different and the ports are smaller to make room for the direct injection stuff and also, the engine is designed for longitudinal layout with a different bellhousing bolt pattern. The direct injection also means that the camshafts will be different. In short, the 2AR-FSE should really not be considered as part of the 2AR family, it may be a fine engine but it's a completely different engine.

Concerning the 2GR-FE, did you have other countries in mind as well when constructing your exhaust pipes for the swap(cause OEM-wise the 2GR has two cats right after the exhaust ports more or less)? As in, do the cats even fit in that place in the SW20 engine bay? Since I'm from Germany and emissions are very strict, I need to document everything first and send it to an inspector before getting approval of a swap like the 2GR-FE.

Generally, anything you do to improve NA power will cause a turbo build to make more power with less boost. Odds are you will want to dramatically reduce the valve overlap when at full boost but the vvt-i system allows that and i designed the cams with an extra pin location to take 10 degrees of overlap out of there that could be useful for the turbo build.
