Vehicle Fitment

This engine serves as a direct replacement for the following North American models:

  • Toyota Tacoma (SR, SR5 Trims): 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021

  • Compatibility Note: This is the Dual VVT-i version (found in 2016+ models). While it shares the same block as the 2005–2015 2TR-FE, the cylinder head and timing configuration are different. Ensure your vehicle is the 3rd Gen (2016+) before ordering.


JDM to USDM Installation & Technical Guide

To ensure 100% OBDII compliance and a “plug-and-play” experience, professional Toyota technicians recommend these steps:

  • Manifold & Sensor Transfer: You must transfer your original USDM Intake Manifold, Exhaust Manifold, and all Sensors to the JDM long block. This ensures all vacuum lines and electrical plugs match your truck’s harness perfectly.

  • Timing Cover & Accessories: Check the JDM engine’s accessories. It is often best to reuse your original Alternator, AC Compressor, and Power Steering Pump if they were functioning correctly, as they are guaranteed to fit your bracketry.

  • Oil Pan & Pickup: Depending on the donor vehicle (e.g., Hilux vs. Prado), the oil pan shape may vary slightly. Most installers swap their original Tacoma Oil Pan and Pickup Tube onto the JDM block to ensure perfect ground clearance and oil capacity.

  • Maintenance while Out: Since the engine is out, this is the perfect time to replace the Rear Main Seal, Water Pump, and Thermostat. These are inexpensive “insurance” parts that are difficult to change once the engine is bolted back in.

  • Fluid Requirements: Use 0W-20 Full Synthetic Oil as specified by Toyota for the 3rd Gen Tacoma to maintain the efficiency of the Dual VVT-i system.

What is included

You receive exactly what is pictured. Engines are supplied as a long block assembly with the components visible in the photos. Accessories such as the alternator, starter, intake manifold or sensors are included only where you can see them on the unit, so check the photographs before ordering and ask us if anything is unclear.

Before you order

  • Confirm the engine code against your own vehicle, not just the model year.
  • Japanese market units can differ from the US version in intake, loom and sensors.
  • Replace the timing components, water pump and seals while the unit is out. It is cheap insurance on an engine this age.
  • Keep your original accessories until the swap is finished and running.
