Toyota 4AGe engine Great condition

The Toyota 4A-GE is a classic, high-revving, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine produced from 1983 to 1998, known for its dual-overhead-cam, four-valve-per-cylinder design, with the cylinder head co-developed with Yamaha. It was a popular performance engine found in models like the AE86 Corolla and MR2, valued for its high-revving capabilities and distinctive sound. While a capable engine for its era, it was often modified for racing and performance applications, with various generations offering different strengths and weaknesses for tuning.
 

Key Characteristics:
  • Engine Type: 1.6-liter, four-cylinder, dual-overhead-cam, four-valve. 
  • Performance Focus: Designed for high-revving performance rather than low-end torque. 
  • Yamaha Collaboration: The performance cylinder head was developed in collaboration with Yamaha Motor Corporation. 
  • Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI): Featured electronic fuel injection, which was advanced for mass-produced engines of its time. 
  • Legendary Status: Gained legendary status in racing, particularly in Formula Atlantic, for achieving high horsepower for its displacement. 

Common Applications: Toyota Corolla AE86 (its first generation), Toyota Celica, Toyota MR2, and Gea Prism and Chevrolet Nova (rebadged Toyotas). 

Legacy and Tuning: 

  • Versatile Platform:
    The 4A-GE is a highly tunable engine, with decades of modifications.
  • Evolution:
    The engine went through multiple generations, with significant improvements in later models, such as larger rod journals and external reinforcements.
  • Popular Modifications:
    Modifications include turbocharging, supercharging (the factory “4AGZE”), and naturally aspirated upgrades like individual throttle bodies and aggressive camshafts.
  • Enduring Appeal:
    Despite its age, it remains a popular choice for engine swaps and performance builds due to its availability, reliability, and the fun factor of working with it.
The Toyota 4A-GE engine is a 1.6L (1587cc) DOHC inline-4 engine, known for its high-revving performance and 4-valve-per-cylinder design. Key specifications include a bore and stroke of 81 mm x 77 mm and a Toyota Variable Intake System (TVIS) in earlier models. Power output varied by generation but typically ranged from around 115 to 128 hp, with later 20-valve versions producing more, reaching up to 160 hp or higher.
 

General Specifications 

  • Configuration: DOHC Inline-4
  • Displacement: 1.6 L (1,587 cc)
  • Bore: 81 mm
  • Stroke: 77 mm
  • Valves: 16-valve or 20-valve (5 per cylinder)
  • Fuel System: Multi-Point Fuel Injection (MPFI)
Performance & Features
  • Power:

    Ranges from approximately 115-128 hp (117-130 PS) in 16-valve models, with later 20-valve engines achieving higher outputs. 

  • Torque:

    Varies by generation, with earlier models producing around 148 N⋅m (109 lb-ft). 

  • Redline:

    High redline, often around 7,600 rpm. 

  • TVIS:

    The Toyota Variable Intake System was used on earlier 4A-GEs, employing butterflies to alter intake port geometry for improved low-end torque and high-end performance. 

  • 20-Valve Heads:

    Later generations, such as the “Silver Top” and “Black Top” engines, featured 20 valves per cylinder for enhanced performance. 

Common Applications

The 4A-GE was a popular engine in various Toyota models: 

  • Toyota CorollaAE86/AE82
  • Toyota Sprinter Trueno
  • Toyota MR2AW11
  • Toyota CelicaAA63
Key Variations
  • 16-Valve: The original 4A-GE featured a 16-valve cylinder head and often incorporated the TVIS. 
  • 20-Valve: Later versions, known as the 4A-GE 20V, introduced three intake valves per cylinder and could have more features like a distributor mounted on the exhaust cam. 
  • 4AGZE: A supercharged variant of the 4A-GE engine.
