Rapid unscheduled 2GR-FE disassembly
Not every day at the dyno can be a good day, sometimes you just blow up a motor and this day was exactly that. I blew up a 2GR-FE on the dyno.

Thanks for making this🎉
More proof that old men claiming that hot rodding is dead need to pop one of their PRN anxiety meds and relax a bit; one of my biggest interests here in particular, is the 2GR not simply being a cheap and very common engine but now you have a small motor you can shove WAY behind shock towers pumping 400whp for a RWD application. Already we're seeing this with modern GM V6es as well, we have some guys building muscle cars into cruisers with the current LV3 that have nearly 300whp but still get 30+ MPG AND have manual transmission options.
Pumped I found this channel. Im about to snag an AWD 2gr sienna. Dad van needs to rip.
I NEED to see a rowdy sienna with this thing in it!
Would this work for my RAV4 V6????
It's the same motor, you can certainly do the same things to it and there's a new intake released which is lower profile that would be easier for you to use.
Now that it's dead, can you swap this out for a FKS?
I have inspected the 2GR-FKS and while it is a good motor it has a lot less potential than the 2GR-FE. That integrated header situation is a significant impediment to big NA power. Direct injection is also really nice for a street car but just adds a much more expensive ECU to control it all when you push this hard on it.
Off Topic but I have a 2006 IS350 with the 2GR-FSE and A. Was wondering if you’ve considered using that platform and B. Have you considered cams? ( I just found your channel not sure if you have) I’m chasing 350 haha
Do I have to unlock vvti cam gear before install or woul it unlock itself?
Out of curiosity, given how Mike Reed's Apex Mr2 blew up on the road course (and he consequently lowered his 8k redline), could this be related to an oil starvation issue at higher rpm?
I don't think that's the case here given where the damage was matched up exactly with the previous dry start damage. But with that said, above 8000rpm there's certainly a lot of unknowns yet to be discovered.
😢
I wish you applied this kind of engineering to the NA 2JZGE in the IS300.
I have just honed my block 2GR-FE and the new forged piston from Wiseco now have a wall clearance of 0.0043" instead of from Wiseco recommended 0.003". Should i get oversized pistons and start over? The engine is supercharged and will make around 5-600hp. Right now its at 480hp on stock internals witch is a push for track-use. I also have the Kelford 263 A cams, springs and forged rods. But that doesnt matter.
Are you sure it actually recommended 0.003"? that's a bit tight even without a supercharger. I would expect a 0.004-0.005" clearance requirement but it really comes down to the piston material and how much it expands so you should go with what the piston manufacturer recommends.
It Will be same for 4 liter 2gr fe
Very nice videos. Very informative.
2gr ftw
Great work and video! I am guessing it is adaptable for the 2GR-FE equipped Camry, too?
It's the same motor so the mods should work. Not sure what the transmission will think of the extra 180whp or so.
removing the charcoal filter from the OEM box it give power are not
Charcoal Filter if i remove in my AR-FE with stock engine i get little more power are not its a retraction can you help me
Id love to be at your level of knowledge one day. Great video.
Need this for a rallycar... Gotta survive a season or two of rallyx to justify it
Also weird question but is the 9k rpm build manageable still have yet to see anyone prove it working
I'm looking forward to figuring it out, it's going to take a minute since there are competing priorities but it's work in progress.
@@FrankensteinMotorworks I was about worried to hear this was the outcome of it because I may be doing a build like this sooner then I planned
I fixed mine with out buying parts and with out removing the cam gear, by adding a spring, I even made a how to video about it.
Me thinking i should make my Sienna a baja beast. Its already lifted 3 inches with 30 inch tires with AWD. 😂
A little random, but im rebuilding an S54 transmission and struggling to get shims, what are the inner and outer diameter of the ones from the narrow E series please?
Where can I get headers for 07 Camry 2gr
2:40 D:
I regret not finding your Chanel earlier
Great video! My son and I have learned so much from your videos.
3 years later. I checked your site for the springs and didn't see them. Did this not fix the rattle?
It fixes the rattle for most people but the amount of hand-holding required to help people through the installation is ridiculously high so i no longer sell them.
@FrankensteinMotorworks Lol. Damn that sucks. Guess I'll just buy a new gear or experiment on my own. Thx for your input on this video and response.
this needs more likes.
I recently got a 2011 Camry with this engine and I love it. I did a few things to it and g et compliments everywhere I go now. I'm DYING to make more power (and maybe even a sleeper).
Would this fit the FSE??
Subbed because there doesn’t seeem to be anyone else doing anything with this engine and I’m interested. Please give more info on what you end up building if you haven’t already
All the discoveries will get posted on the channel but there's also a discord if you want to discuss it in deeper detail: discord.gg/hSFWcG5Z
Did he say 271hp??? NA what!?
Yes, that's my naturally aspirated record so far but that was with the 2.5L crank and stock 10.4:1 compression pistons on pump gas so it should be relatively easy to take that same build up over 300whp.
@@meanman6992 Unfortunately i really have no info on the automatic transmissions in the stock application. but generally there's a 30-40% overhead available on most of these types of things.
@@FrankensteinMotorworkstrue, but knowing that there’s likely no aftermarket support for the transmission, I have the engine…. (In that car) and I keep driving past a NA Miata on the way home….may have to start a project after discovering this. I used to be all about 4G63’s and want another project but as much as I love turbo’ed engines, I don’t know that I want to go that route again. A NA 250ish whp hp Miata I’m betting would be a hoot. Thanks for the replies I’ll look at your store and depending on what I can find out about that Miata, 🤷♂️ who knows, every man gets a midlife crisis project right?
@@meanman6992 I 100% agree with 250whp in a lightweight car like that. That's pretty much what i do in my MR2 Spyder and it's an absolute riot on track.
Yes
Ive torn one of these failures before. All you can do is save and label the hardware because everything is trash except the valve and timing covers. Oh yeah i saved the chain, balancer, crank position ring and oil pickup too.
In this case the valve covers are actually quite known for accumulating grit when powdercoated so i'll be tossing those too and the timing cover is the oil pump so that's also getting pitched. But the good news is the cams are still straight so the expensive part is still good.
@@FrankensteinMotorworks Mine was a 2zz I found for $35. You can guess what happened to it the cams were wiped.
His shaking worries me...
It annoys me but i promise I'm am on top of taking care of my medical. Please don't worry about it.
I love your attitude about this, and not only recognizing but owning that it's your own fault. That's big of you. 👍
The sound of dripping metal pebbles when turning the engine over... beautiful! :D
It's funny that I came across your video because I just had a nightmare in which I started my car without oil. I was in the middle of an oil change, became distracted, and then started my car. I remember turning the key and realizing I hadn't put oil back in it and just couldn't stop myself in time. The sound the engine made was excruciating and I was devastated. I was so relieved when I woke up...Sorry this happened but you seem to be taking it in stride.
An OG Honda engine is impervious to oil starvation
absolutely, taking the oil out is the key to making that 1000whp that everyone says they can make. no further modification necessary.
@@FrankensteinMotorworks so true 😂
Doing it for science!
😳total carnage! New engine time ! 😂We appreciate the omelets, a few broken eggs are expected!
Yeah it was bound to happen eventually with all the experimenting around. I'm just glad it was a stupid mistake from me not a flaw with the motor that i needed to start finding a fix for.
Are you getting these results on pump gas or E85?
Pump 93octane
@@FrankensteinMotorworks ugh!! You guys get E85 *and* 93Octane?? 92 is as good as it gets out here in the Pacific Northwest..
@@davidjeffers5611 93 is normal premium around here but i'm in Indianapolis so i can pretty much get any fuel easily in town even fuels with nitro in it.
That is an amazing aftermath of rapid unscheduled disassembly.
I started an engine in my lemons car with the remote oil filter plumbed backwards. Similar results. Feels dumb but happens to everyone.
Yeah i did that on a ford 302 back in the day. That's when i learned that oil filters are directional. I completely destroyed the top end of that motor in about 5 miles
I run a 3sfe Cummins turbo motor in my mk2 Supra. It’s over heated a few times and rod bearing noise once. I’ve been thru it a few times and it’s amazing I haven’t had this rapid disassembly running 17psi and over 22psi a handful of times. Especially since I made my own intake causing weld beads to run in my cylinder. Cylinder 3 looks like the surface of the moon and it’s been daily driven and drifted for around 7 months now. Just popped a head from 3x reused head bolts. It’s getting arp studs next. I don’t like 3sg engines either but these f heads are stout
The 2gr v6 is the first platform I’ll be building in my life albeit it’s the 2gr fks. I saw your 404 whp big cam high comp piston 2gr fe on instagram and thought you’d be the right person to ask, but how would you go on about making 310-330 whp and 300 wtq?
The question as stated is completely achievable but i think what you're actually asking is to make a big displacement V8 power curve with a 3.5L engine. You want that torque to happen at low RPM but when you lose displacement you need to make up for it with RPM or boost. I get this kind of question from truck people all the time so i'm going to assume you're in a truck so on top of that you have a much higher drivetrain loss than the application i'm doing here. This means you'd need about 170-180% cylinder fill to hit those numbers, you're talking about essentially building what would be a 500whp+ NA build but then just not letting it rev past about 5500rpm so you still have all the costs associated with a 500whp+ NA build. Hitting your actual goal will be best done with a supercharger or an engine swap with more displacement.
@@FrankensteinMotorworks my bad I should’ve specified I’m in the 8th gen fwd v6 Camry. 500 whp+ na build seems very difficult to pull off on any v6 so mabye a supercharger would be the way for that low end torque. The only thing is tho the only supercharger kit for the 8th gen cams are still under R/D and also I’m not sure if the transmission could handle all that torque even with a full rebuild so I was kinda hoping there were some bolt on mods that increase low end tq
Why are you not fan of the 3sgte?
It was a fantastic motor for it's time but this was a motor designed in the late 70's. The head on the 3S-GTE is a slightly newer design but less than a decade newer. Motor technology and material strength has moved so far forward since then and my whole thing has always been to take advantage of modern engine technology. Consider that the 2AR that i play with makes 25% more power to the wheels than the 3S-GTE in the MR2 and that's before you open it up and do anything to it and that's also without any boost. Sure it has 25% more displacement but it also does not have 10psi of boost being shoved into it.
@@FrankensteinMotorworks that makes sense. Plus, parts are probably easier to source with the 2AR compared to the 3sgte nowadays.
"Interesting data on the top of that piston", Lots of data, everywhere :). Great video with a good sense of humor about a not so good situation. I hope all goes well on your next build :)
Glad you enjoyed it and yeah i think the next build will go a bit better than this one :)
