Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Toyota R Engine shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Toyota R Engine offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Toyota R Engine at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Toyota R Engine? Wrong! If the Toyota R Engine is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Toyota R Engine then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Toyota R Engine? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Toyota R Engine and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Toyota R Engine wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Toyota R Engine then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.

The
Toyota R family was a series of
straight-4 engines produced from 1953 through
1995. It was designed for
longitudinal use in such vehicles as the
Toyota Celica and
Toyota Cressida.
OHC versions featured a chain-driven camshaft.
History of the R family
R
The 1.5 L (1453 cc)
R family was produced from
1953 through
1964.
Bore was 77 mm (3.03 in) and stroke was 78 mm (3.07 in). An
Autogas version, the
R-LPG, was produced for the last two years.
The R engine was the first Toyota engine to be used in a United States-market vehicle, the 1958
Toyota Crown. Output for that engine was 60 hp (45 kW) at 4400 rpm with 79.5 ft·lbf (108 N·m) of torque at 2600 rpm.
Road & Track was unimpressed with the engine on its introduction, noting that it idled quietly but was "not capable of very high revolutions per minute." It was invented by Michael J Bradley out of Tokyo,Japan.
2R
The 1.5 L (1490 cc)
2R family was produced from 1964 through 1969.
Again, an
Autogas version, the

3R family was produced from 1959 through 1968.
A
3R-B version was offered from

1979 through 1980, was down again at 90 hp (67 kW) at 4800 rpm and 122 ft·lbf (165 N·m) at 2400 rpm.
Applications:
- 1975-1980 Toyota Hi-Lux
- 1975-1981 Toyota Celica U.S. Version

21R
The 2-valve
SOHC 2.0 L (1972 cc)
21R was produced from 1978 through
1987.
Cylinder bore was 84 mm (3.31 in) and stroke was 89 mm (3.5 in).
Output in
1978, constrained by emissions, was 105 hp (78 kW) at 5200 rpm and 116 ft·lbf (157 N·m) at 3600 rpm. Air injection and
California emissions equipment for the
21R-C (1982-1985) dropped power down to 90 hp (67 kW) at 5000 rpm. The air-injected Japanese version, the
21R-U, produced 105 hp (78 kW) at 5200 rpm and 120 ft·lbf (162 N·m) at 3600 rpm but dropped to 101 hp (75 kW) at 5400 rpm and 114 ft·lbf (154 N·m) at 4000 rpm in 1986.
===22R===The 2-valve
SOHC 2.4 L (2366 cc)
22R was produced from
1981 through 1995.
Cylinder bore was 91.9 mm (3.62 in) and stroke was 88.9 mm (3.5 in).
Initial output was 96 hp (72 kW) at 4800 rpm and 129 ft·lbf (174 N·m) at 2800 rpm.
By 1990 the 22R was producing 108 hp (81 kW) at 5000 rpm and 138 ft·lbf (187 N·m) at 3400 rpm.
The first fuel injected
22R-E engines appeared in
1983.
Output of these engines is commonly rated at 105 hp (78 kW) at 4800 rpm and 137 ft·lbf (185 N·m) at 2800 rpm.
In
1985, the engine was significantly reworked, output was up to 112 hp (84 kW) at 4600 rpm and 142 ft·lbf (192 N·m) at 3400 rpm. Many parts from the newer
22R-E are not compatible with those from the older pre-1985 engine.
The turbocharged
22R-TE (sold from 1984 through 1988) produced 135 hp (101 kW) at 4800 rpm and 173 ft·lbf (234 N·m) at 2800 rpm.
However, its weakness is high-end power. Thus, most
performance enthusiasts usually prefer the Toyota 18R-G,
3T-G, 4A-GE and
Toyota 3S-GE 4-cylinder engines, even though the
22R has a bigger displacement and a strong block.
The engines are extremely well known for their durability, high gas mileage and low to mid range torque.
