2.7 engine

i have a 2007 tacoma with a 2.7 engine in it that needs to be replaced
what is the year span i can replace it with and are there any ither models that have the same one

 

What’s wrong with the engine

 

blown head gasket

 

They can’t replace that? How many miles on the engine?

 

i guess not

 

Depends if it overheated and what damage was done.
I guessing this are warped or broken parts.

OP, I honestly don’t know the answer you are looking for.
I’m not all that familiar with the 2tr-fe year variances.

I do know 2016+ is different.
But then you’re talking a whole different generation truck.

 

I would think 05-15 2.7 would be the same. The newer the better

 

They may be, on the 4.0 there were changes to the Air Injection system Mid-Gen.
I don’t know if the 2.7 had any changes?
More than likely if there were changes, you could swap what is needed from the old engine.
But I’m not sure?

 

The 05-12 should be a sure fire swap. They changed the ecu connectors in the truck for the 13-15 trucks so im not sure if a harness swap would be required with the 13-15 engine, but i wouldnt want to find out the hard way. All 2.7Ls had the SAI pump so no need to worry about that. Id try to find a 2012 personally. I am in the same boat currently with a head gasket that is starting to go and i am starting to look for a replacement as well

 

Thanks for the help and info on SAI

 

there is a 98 4 runner 2.7 where i live and a few 99 tacomas those wouldnt work

 

Don’t thinks so, they are different engines.
Your engine has variable valve timing.
I do not think the older engines had it.

You have a 2TR-FE engine.
The 98 and 99 would have a 3RZ-FE engine.

 

No they will not

 

Are the 5 lug 2 wheel drives 2.7 also?
Would one of these work in a 6 lug?

 

How many miles on the original?

 

Most are aware of the engine/transmission change in the V6 model that came in 2016. Were changes made to the stellar 2.7 in 2016 or beyond? My gut says the 2.7's basic design remains the same. That engine is still available in the 2020.

 

I was reading this thread and literally thought we need to tag Robert. Then boom...came across your post.

 

Yes all five lug 05-15s except for the xrunner came with the 2.7, and they can go in the 6lug. Im running a trans out of a five lug truck in my prerunner

Yes the 2TR got dual vvti in 2016+ models

 

I believe the compression was upped too?

 

Thats correct!

9.6:1 for 05-15
10.2:1 for 2016+
