ke70pussywagon Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 does this help at all? Toyota engine codes are split into two sections, the bit before the dash, and the bit after it (eg: 2JZ-GTE). Before the dash. The letters signify the "family" or "series" of the engine. The numbers signify a revision of the bottom end (ie: bore, stoke, block). Higher numbers don't necessarily mean a larger block. For example, the twin turbo engines in modern Supras are the 1JZ-GTE and 2JZ-GTE. The 1JZ is a 2.5L engine, while the 2JZ is a 3.0L. Both are twin turbo inline sixes. After the dash. The letters after the dash specify the features of the engine. G - Wide angle Twin Cam (sportier head) F - Narrow angle Twin Cam (economical head) T - Turbocharged Z - Supercharged E - Electronic Fuel Injection U - Emissions control (Japanese) C - Emissions control (Californian). Sample Engines And Their Codes These are a few engines that can be found in our members' cars. 4A-GE: 1.6L DOHC EFI 16V inline four cylinder 4A-GE (20 Valve): 1.6L DOHC EFI 20V inline four cylinder 4A-GZE: 1.6L DOHC EFI 16V supercharged inline four cylinder 7A-FE: 1.8L DOHC EFI 16V inline four cylinder 1G-GTE: 2.0L DOHC EFI 24V intercooled twin turbo inline six cylinder 3/4K-C: 1.3L OHV Carby 8V inline four cylinder (4K block, 3K head) 5M-E: 2.8L SOHC EFI 12V inline six cylinder 7M-GTE: 3.0L DOHC EFI 24V turbocharged inline six cylinder 18R-C: 2.0L SOHC Carby 8V inline four cylinder 18R-GEU: 2.0L DOHC EFI 8V inline four cylinder 3S-GE / 3S-FE: 2.0L DOHC EFI 16V inline four cylinder 3S-GTE: 2.0L DOHC EFI 16V turbocharged inline four cylinder 2T-G: 1.6L DOHC 8V inline four cylinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corolla Test Pilot Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Mine is a 3k-h, dunno if its a sporty variant or not, but its pretty fit for a k motor: it'll chirp first.lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 (edited) I got a 3K-H in the panel van and it hauls pretty well. Especially once i adjusted the vacuum advance on my nippon-denso distributor! The knob on the left is to advance the timing. :jamie: Who else has this style of distributor? They came out in KE20, 25 & 26 models. Edited February 27, 2006 by AE35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollin_stock Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Yeah my k motor had one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toycrash Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 The knob on the left is to advance the timing. :jamie: Who else has this style of distributor? They came out in KE20, 25 & 26 models. Actually it's a octane selector and it's a not the best place to adjust your timing, because it allso restricts your vacuum advance actuators movement. Found in older K-engines. 3K-H is an older bigport engine, ours were pre -75 ones. 3K-B is obviously twin carbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
