Toyota 20R specs: 2.2L (133.6 ci) 4-cylinder, 88.5 x 89 mm (3.4843 x 3.5039 in) bore and stroke, 8.4:1 compression. Rated 90-95 hp, 1975–1980.

The Toyota R (20R) is close to square: 3.4843" bore against 3.5039" stroke, within 0.6%, which splits the difference between a high-revving layout and a torque layout. The 3.5039" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,850 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 33.4 ci (547 cc).

8.4:1 on aluminum heads is low by modern standards and generally happy on regular pump fuel.

It is one of 4 engines in the R family, the largest at 133.6 ci. 11 factory variants share these dimensions, rated from 90 to 95 hp across 1975–1980.
