The Toyota Motor Corporation G-family engine is a family of straight-6 piston engines produced from 1979 to 2008. It is notable in that only a single displacement, 2.0 L (1,988 cc), was produced in this series. Initially belt-driven OHC non-interference engines (except the VVT-i version which is an interference engine), multivalve DOHC (except the 1G-EU SOHC 12 valve engine) and variable valve timing were added later during the production run. The 1G-GEU was Toyota's first mass produced four-valve twincam engine. [1] A prototype version of the 1G-GEU called the LASREαX, featuring twin-turbos, variable valve timing and intake as well as variable displacement, was fitted to the Toyota FX-1 show car at the 1983 Tokyo Motor Show. It showcased a number of technologies which were later to become commonplace. [2] This engine was designed around the new LASRE technology for lighter weight – such as sintered hollow camshafts. [3] These engines were used as a lower-displacement alternative to the more upmarket M family and JZ family straight-sixes.

Contents

For ten months (in 1967-1968), Toyota also offered Hino's GR100 engine as the "Toyota G" in the shortlived Briska light truck. [4]

G (Hino GR100)

After Toyota's takeover of Hino Motors in 1967, the Briska one-tonne truck was sold with Toyota badging for ten months. The engine code was changed from Hino's "GR100" to "G" for these cars. [5] The engine is a 1251 cc watercooled OHV inline-four with distant Renault origins and was originally developed by Hino for their Contessa passenger car. Bore and stroke are 71 mm × 79 mm (2.80 in × 3.11 in), maximum power 63 PS (46 kW) at 5500 rpm. Hino's earlier models had a variety of power outputs ranging from 52 to 65 PS.

Apart from its name, this engine is unrelated to the later series of Toyota G engines.

1G

Since just one displacement was offered, all G-family engines are marked 1G and share the same "square" 75 mm (2.95 in) bore and stroke.

Applications:

1G-E

The export-spec two-valve 1G-E had no emissions controls and were used in commercial vehicles and for a few export markets, mostly southeast Asia. Typical specifications:

1G-EU

The Japan-spec 1G-EU was produced from 1979 through 1988. This and the 1G-E are the only two-valve SOHC members of the family. Output was 105–125 hp (78–93 kW; 106–127 PS) at 5400 rpm and 157–172 N⋅m (116–127 lb⋅ft) at 4400 rpm.

1G-FE

1G-FE

The DOHC 1G-FE uses a narrow valve angle and other fuel economy optimizations. It was introduced in 1988, it features a cast iron block with aluminum cylinder head and uses the slave cam system. Output was 135 PS (99 kW; 133 hp) at 5,600 rpm and 176 N⋅m (130 lb⋅ft) at 4,400 rpm. In 1998 VVT-i was added, which bumped output to 160 PS (118 kW; 158 hp) at 6,200 rpm and 200 N⋅m (148 lb⋅ft) at 4,400 rpm for the Altezza/IS 200. Production of this engine family ceased in 2008 after the discontinuation of the Crown Sedan mild hybrid. [6]

The 24-valve DOHC 1G-GEU was intended for high performance and featured a pent-roof combustion chamber. [7] Introduced in August 1982 and produced through 1986, mostly for the Japanese market, it was Toyota's first multi-valve twincam engine to make it to the market, and won the "JSME Medal for New Technology" (Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers) in 1982. Output was 140–160 PS (103–118 kW; 138–158 hp) at 6,200 rpm and 162–181 N⋅m (119–133 lb⋅ft) at 5,600 rpm. To minimize the downsides of a multi-valve setup, the 1G-GEU was also equipped with T-VIS (Toyota Variable Induction System), increasing low to mid-engine speed torque. Like all following twin cam Toyotas, it used a timing belt rather than chain, for less noise and lower maintenance requirements. In August 1983, the fuel injection system was changed to EFI-D, which measures the pressure in the intake manifold to determine the proper air-fuel mixture. [1] [8]

Applications:

1G-GE

The 1G-GE replaced the 1G-GEU in 1988. It was detuned from 160 PS (118 kW; 158 hp) to 150 PS (110 kW; 148 hp) and served the same cars as 1G-GEU did. Torque was 182 N⋅m (135 lb⋅ft) at 5600 rpm. [9] It was produced for the Supra GA70 until 1993.

1G-GTE

Toyota 1G-GTE

The 24-valve DOHC 1G-GTE added two CT-12 turbochargers to the versatile motor. There were 3 generations of this engine both air-to-air and air-to-water intercoolers were used, pushing output from 185 to 210 PS (136 to 154 kW; 182 to 207 hp) at 6200 rpm and 234 to 275 N⋅m (173 to 203 lb⋅ft) at 3800 rpm using the air-to-air over the air-to-water. This was the most powerful engine of the whole G family. In May 1991 it was replaced with the 280 PS 1JZ-GTE on most Toyota cars.

Applications:

1G-GP/GPE

The 1G-GP and 1G-GPE was an LPG version of the 1G-GE engine. Output is 110 PS (81 kW; 108 hp) at 5600 rpm and torque is 15.5 kg⋅m (152 N⋅m; 112 lbf⋅ft) at 2400 rpm. [10]

Applications:

1G-GZE

The 1G-GZE was a supercharged version produced from 1986 until 1992. Output is 170 PS (125 kW; 168 hp) at 6,000 rpm and 226 N⋅m (167 lb⋅ft) at 3,600 rpm. Like the turbo, it was a 24-valve DOHC 6-cylinder engine but featured a distributorless ignition system (DIS). The 1G-GZE was mated only with automatic gearboxes. In August 1991 it was replaced with the 1JZ-GE on the Mark II/Chaser/Cresta, while serving on the Crown until 1992.

The Toyota Verossa is a mid-size sedan produced by Toyota for the Japanese market, and was exclusive new to the Netz Store locations as the smaller companion sedan to the Aristo. The Verossa exceeded Japanese government dimension regulations concerning external dimensions and engine displacement, offering buyers a sedan that continued to offer a rear-wheel drive platform, opposite the 2001–2006 Camry with very similar dimensions and front-wheel drive platform. The advantage the Verossa offered over the Camry was the ability to offer four-wheel drive, which the Camry couldn't do. The Verossa, introduced in June 2001, was launched with the Toyopet Store alternative called the Progrès and the Toyota Store Brevis.
