1A

The 1.5 L 1A was produced between 1978 and 1980. All variants were belt-driven 8-valve counter-flow SOHC engines with a single, twin-barrel downdraft carburetor. It used Toyota's Turbulence Generating Pot (TGP) lean combustion system to meet Japanese emissions standards at the time with only an oxidation (2-way) catalyst. The 1A engine was only long.

The third generation (1996–2001) was released exclusively for the Asian market (Japan, Philippines, Pakistan, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia) only. Although it is very similar to the second generation externally, it only has a slight difference in the top section of the intake manifold and throttle body. This last generation also has a higher additional output of {{cvt, 5, hp, kW, 0 compared to the second generation.{{citation needed, date=January 2013 * Engine displacement: {{convert, 1587, cc, L, 1, abbr=on, order=flip * Layout: DOHC Inline-4 * Valves: 16, 4 for each cylinder * Redline: 6300 rpm * Compression ratio: 9.5:1 * Fuel Delivery System: TCCS or MPFI North American market engines: * {{convert, 102, hp, kW hp PS, order=out, , abbr=on at 5,800 rpm, and torque {{convert, 14.8, kgm, Nm lbft kgm, order=out, 0, abbr=on at 4,800 rpm{{cn, date=June 2019 European market engines: * {{cvt, 105, PS, kW hp, 0 at 6,000 rpm, and torque {{convert, 14.5, kgm, Nm lbft kgm, order=out, 0, abbr=on at 3,200 rpm Asian market engines: * {{cvt, 115, PS, kW hp, 0 at 6,000 rpm{{cn, date=June 2019 South African market engines: * {{cvt, 107, PS, kW hp, 0 at 6,000 rpm and torque {{convert, 14.3, kgm, Nm lbft kgm, order=out, 0, abbr=on at 3,200 rpm{{cn, date=June 2019 ''Note: power and torque specs for North America and Europe are from the 1988–1992 Corollas.'' The 4A-FE is different from the 4A-GE in terms of performance and power. Although both have the same displacement and are DOHC, they were optimized for different uses. The first obvious difference are the valves, the engine's intake and exhaust valves were placed 22.3° apart (compared to 50° in the G-Engines). The second is that it employed a "slave cam system", the camshafts being geared together and driven off one camshaft's sprocket (both camshafts' sprockets on the G-Engine are rotated by the timing belt). Some of the less directly visible differences were poorly shaped ports in the earlier versions, a slow burning combustion chamber with heavily shrouded valves, less aggressive camshaft profiles, a cast crankshaft (rather than a forged crankshaft in the 4A-GE), ports of a small cross sectional area, a very restrictive intake manifold with long runners joined to a small displacement plenum and other changes. Even though the valve angle is closer to what is considered in some racing circles{{who, date=September 2018 to be ideal for power (approximately 25 degrees), its other design differences and the intake which is tuned for a primary harmonic resonance at low RPM means that it has about 10% less power compared to the 4A-GE engine.

and was built at Toyota's Shimoyama plant alongside the 4A and 2A engines. The reliability and performance of these engines has earned them a fair number of enthusiasts and a fan base as they are a popular choice for an engine swap into other Toyota cars such as the KE70 and KP61. New performance parts are still available for sale even today because of its strong fan base. Production of the various models of this version lasted for five generations, from May 1983 through 1991 for 16-valve versions and the 20-valve 4A-GE lasting through 2000.


First Generation ''"Blue Top"'' (Early Bigport)

The first-generation 4A-GE which was introduced in May 1983 replaced the '' 2T-G'' as Toyota's most popular twincam engine.{{citation , title = All About the Toyota Twin Cam, 2nd ed. , url = http://www.3sgte.com/page_16.htm , page = 14 , publisher = Toyota Motor Company , year = 1984 , location = Tokyo, Japan This engine was identifiable via silver cam covers with the lettering on the upper cover painted black and blue, as well as the presence of three reinforcement ribs on the back side of the block. It was extremely light and strong for a production engine using an all-iron block, weighing in at only {{convert, 123, kg, lb, 0, abbr=on - over fifteen percent reduction compared to 2T-GEU. It was also 4 dB quieter. While originally conceived of as a two-valve design, Toyota and Yamaha changed the 4A-GE to a four-valve after a year of evaluation.''Toyota Twin Cam''
p. 15
The 4A-GE produced {{cvt, 112, hp, kW hp, disp=flip, 0 at 6,600 rpm and {{convert, 13.4, kgm, 0, abbr=on of torque at 4,800 rpm in the American market. The use of a vane-type air flow meter (AFM), which restricted air flow slightly but produced cleaner emissions that conformed to the U.S. regulations, limited the power considerably - the Japanese model, which uses a

(MAP) sensor, was originally rated at {{cvt, 130, PS, kW hp, 0. However, this was a gross power rating and the engine was later re-rated at {{cvt, 120, PS, kW hp, 0 net. Nonetheless, Japanese cars tested no faster than their American counterparts despite their higher power rating and a lower curb weight. Yamaha designed the engine for performance; the valve angle was a relatively wide 50 degrees, which at the time was believed to be ideal for high power production. Today, more modern high-revving engines have decreased the valve angle to 20 to 25 degrees, which allows for a more smaller and compact head. This is now believed by some{{who, date=October 2022 to be ideal for high-revving engines with high specific power outputs. However, most high performance racing engines still employ wide valve angles which allow straighter ports and more efficient flow. The first-generation 4A-GE is nicknamed the "bigport" engine because it had intake ports of a very large cross-sectional area. While the port cross-section was suitable for a very highly modified engine at very high engine speeds, it caused a considerable drop in low-end torque due to the decreased air speeds at those rpms. To compensate for the reduced air speed, the first-generation engines included the

s that opened at approximately 4,200 rpm. The effect is that at lower rpm (when the airspeed would normally be slow) four of the eight runners are closed, which forces the engine to draw in all its air through half the runners in the manifold. This not only raises the airspeed which causes better cylinder filling, but due to the asymmetrical airflow a swirl is created in the combustion chamber, meaning better fuel atomization. This enabled the torque curve to still be intact at lower engine speeds, allowing for better performance across the entire speed band and a broad, flat torque curve around the crossover point.''Toyota Twin Cam''
p. 11
During rising engine speed, a slight lurch can occur at the crossover point and an experienced driver will be able to detect the shift in performance. Production of the first-generation engine model lasted until May 1987.


Second Generation ''"Red & Black Top"'' (Late Bigport)

The second-generation 4A-GE produced from June 1987 to May 1989 featured larger diameter bearings for the connecting-rod big ends {{convert, 42, mm, 2, abbr=on and added four additional reinforcement ribs on the back of the engine block, for a total of seven. The

feature is retained, as well as the MAP sensor (MAF sensor in the US-market). It is visually similar to the first-generation engine (only the upper cam cover now featured red and black lettering) and the US-market power output was only increased to {{cvt, 115, hp, kW, 0. The first- and second-generation engines are very popular with racers and tuners because of their availability, ease of modification, simple design, and lightness.


Third Generation ''"Red Top"'' (Smallport)

The third-generation appeared in June 1989 and was in production until June 1991. This engine has the silver cam covers with the words only written in red, hence the nickname "red top". Toyota increased the compression ratio from 9.4:1 to 10.3:1. To correct the air-speed problems of the earlier generations, the intake ports in this

They were slightly modified to make space for the under-piston cooling oil squirters found in this engine version. In addition to this, the piston ring size were changed to {{convert, 1.2, mm, abbr=on (top ring), 1.5mm (second ring) and {{convert, 2.8, mm, abbr=on (oil ring), this change in size made it difficult to obtain as compared to the earlier 16 valves versions of the 4AGE {{convert, 1.5, mm, abbr=on (top ring), {{convert, 1.5, mm, abbr=on (second ring), {{convert, 3, mm, abbr=on (oil ring).{{cn, date=September 2018 All non-US market 4A-GEs continued to use a MAP sensor, while all of the US-market 4A-GE engines came with a MAF sensor.

rather than a cheaper and more commonly used cast version. Clarification: In the U.S. market, the 4A-GE engine was first used in the 1985 model year Corolla GT-S only, which is identified as an "AE88" in the VIN but uses the AE86 chassis code on the firewall as the AE88 is a "sub" version of the AE86. The 4A-GE engines for the 1985 model year are referred to as "blue top" as opposed to the later "red top" engines, because the paint color on the valve covers is different, to show the different engine revision, using different port sizes, different airflow metering, and other minor differences on the engine. The American Spec AE86 (VIN AE88, or GT-S) carried the 4A-GE engine. In other markets, other designations were used. Much confusion exists, even among dealers, as to which models contained what equipment, especially since Toyota split the Corolla line into both RWD and FWD versions, and the GT-S designation was only well known as a Celica version at that time. In 1993, the 4A-GE engine was dropped and replaced with the 7A-FE in South Africa even as other countries moved towards the 20-valve 4A-GE, as South African fuel was not suitable at the time for the 20-valve 4A-GE engines. ;Applications: * AA63

4A-GE (20-valve)


Fourth Generation ''"Silver Top"''

The fourth-generation 4A-GE engine was produced from 1991 to 1995. It has silver cam covers with chrome lettering, hence the nickname "silver top". This engine yet again features a completely new cylinder head which uses five valves per cylinder instead of four. It uses Toyota's Variable Valve Timing ( VVT) system on the intake cam, an increased compression ratio (10.5:1), and the intake system was replaced with a short manifold with individual throttles and

Fifth Generation ''"Black Top"''

The fifth-generation 4A-GE engine produced from 1995 to 2000 is the final version of the 4A-GE engine and has black cam covers. It uses Toyota Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system on the intake cam. This engine is commonly known as the "black top" due to the color of the valve cover, and yet again features an even higher compression ratio (11:1). The air flow sensor was replaced by a MAP sensor, the diameter of the four individual throttle bodies was increased from {{convert, 43, to, 45, mm, 2, abbr=on, the exhaust ports diameter were increased by 3 mm, the intake cam lift was increased from {{convert, 7.9, to, 8.2, mm, abbr=on, and the intake ports were significantly improved in shape and contour, with the width of the opening at the head increased as well. Additionally, the black top had a lighter flywheel, a larger plenum, lighter connecting rods and revised rubber velocity stacks, and was also offered in 1997 with a six-speed C160 transaxle. This revision increased the power to {{cvt, 165, PS, kW hp, 0 at 7,800 rpm with {{convert, 16.5, kgm, 0, abbr=on of torque at 5,600 rpm. The 'Blacktop' has become a favorite among enthusiasts and is used as an easy power upgrade for the early Toyota Corolla models, especially for use in the drift scene. Due to the relatively high state of tuning of the stock engine, most power/torque gains come from higher lift cams and engine management. It has been believed that Toyota's power figures for the 20-valve engines are inflated; this is more than likely caused by people using less than 100

It appears in the eighth generation Corolla (AE112). In the Australian market, the AE112 Corolla Sportivo had a turbocharged and intercooled 7A-FE, sometimes unofficially referred to as a 7A-FTE. Output was {{convert, 115, kW, kW hp PS, order=out, , abbr=on at 5,600 rpm, torque {{convert, 24.2, kgm, 0, abbr=on at 3600 rpm, thanks to an IHI RHF4B turbocharger with 0.55 bar of boost pressure. This was a conversion rather than a ground-up turbo design, with the same 9.5:1 compression ratio as the naturally aspirated 7A-FE.{{cite web , url = http://australiancar.reviews/7A-FE-engine.php , archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20181229184158/http://australiancar.reviews:80/7A-FE-engine.php , archivedate = 2018-12-29 , work = AustralianCar.reviews , title = 7A-FE Toyota Engine , first = Ian , last = Lithgow , publisher = Only 110 Corolla Sportivos were built. Toyota never made a wide-valve angle high-performance "7A-GE" engine based on the 7A, but many enthusiasts have created one using a combination of 7A-FE parts (block and crank), 4A-GE parts (head, pistons) and custom connecting rods. The '7A-FE' has a smaller crank journal and smaller wrist pins (press fit), so a few companies have made special rods to accommodate these builds. Likewise, an unofficial supercharged "7A-GZE" has also been built from 7A-FE parts (block, crank), 4A-GZE parts (head, pistons) and custom connecting rods.
