Toyota 2VZ-FE specs: 2.5L (153 ci) 6-cylinder, 87.5 x 69.5 mm (3.4449 x 2.7362 in) bore and stroke, 9:1 compression. Rated 153-156 hp, 1988–1991.
The Toyota 2VZ-FE is oversquare — the 3.4449" bore exceeds the 2.7362" stroke by 25.9% — a layout that favors airflow and RPM over leverage at the crank. The 2.7362" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 8,750 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 6 cylinders displaces 25.5 ci (418 cc).
9:1 is low by modern standards and generally happy on regular pump fuel.
4 factory variants share these dimensions, rated from 153 to 156 hp across 1988–1991.
