The Toyota 2AZ-FSE is a 2.4 l (2,362 cc, 144.14 cu-in) straight-four 4-stroke natural aspirated gasoline engine from Toyota AZ-family.
The Toyota 2AZ-FSE features a lightweight aluminum block with thin cast-iron cylinder liners and 16-valve DOHC aluminum head with four valves per cylinder (two intakes and two exhaust). The 2AZ-FSE engine is equipped with VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing with intelligence) on the intake camshaft, Toyota’s D-4 direct injection system, DIS (Direct Ignition System) with one ignition coil for each spark plug.
Cylinder bore and piston stroke are 88.5 mm (3.48 in) and 96.0 mm (3.78 in), respectively. Compression ratio rating is 11.0:1.
The engine produces 163 PS (120 kW; 161 HP) at 5,800 rpm of maximum horsepower and 231 Nm (23.6 kg·m; 170.5 ft·lb) at 3,800 rpm of peak torque.
The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:
- 2 – 2-nd generation engine
- AZ – Engine family
- F – Economy narrow-angle DOHC
- S – Gasoline direct injection system (D-4)
- E – Multi Point Fuel Injection

Cylinder block
The 2AZ-FSE has an open-deck lightweight aluminum alloy cylinder block with cast-iron liners and a die-cast aluminum crankcase. The liner is thin so that boring is not possible. The forged steel crankshaft has eight counterweights and supported by five main bearings. The crankshaft is made of forged steel and balance shaft drive gear is installed onto the crankshaft. The Toyota 2AZ-FSE is equipped with two balance shafts.
The piston is made of aluminum alloy and skirt area is made compact and lightweight. The connecting rods and caps are made of high strength steel for weight reduction. Nutless-type plastic region tightening bolts of the connecting rod are used. The engine used pistons with two compression and single oil ring. The cylinder bore is 88.5 mm (3.48 in and the piston stroke is 96.0 mm (3.78 in). Compression ratio rating is 11.0:1.

Cylinder head
The cylinder head is made of strong, light aluminum alloy which gives it good cooling efficiency. Each camshaft is supported by five bearings. The dual overhead camshafts are driven by a roller chain. The timing chain is lubricated by an oil jet. Each cylinder is equipped with 2 intake valves and 2 exhaust valves. Valve diameters are 34.0 mm (1.3 in) for intake and 29.5 mm (1.2 in) for exhaust.
The engine is equipped with lightweight magnesium alloy diecast cylinder head cover. The cylinder head cover gasket and the spark plug gasket is integrated to reduce the number of parts. A steel-laminate type cylinder head gasket is used.
