Toyota 1G-GE engines replaced the GEU version of the same series at the post. At the same time, the company deformed power unit, made it more reliable and increased its resource. The power unit was distinguished by a fairly reliable design and optimal power indicators for its volume.
This is a 6-cylinder unit, which first appeared in 1988, and already in 1993 gave way to more modern and light motors... The cast-iron block of cylinders weighed quite a lot, but at the same time demonstrated reliability and good maintainability, traditional for those times.
Toyota 1G-GE engine specifications
ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!
The greatest advantages of all units of the series, including their progenitor 1G-FE, are hidden in the technical characteristics. The GE engine turned out to be one of the most successful in its line, even if it did not last long enough on the conveyor. Here are the main ICE characteristics and features of operation:
| Unit designation | 1G-GE |
| Working volume | 2.0 |
| Number of cylinders | 6 |
| Arrangement of cylinders | inline |
| Number of valves | 24 |
| Power | 150 h.p. at 6200 rpm |
| Torque | 186 N * m at 5400 rpm |
| Fuel used | A-92, A-95, A-98 |
| Fuel consumption* | |
| - town | 14 l / 100 km |
| - track | 8 l / 100 km |
| Compression ratio | 9.8 |
| Supply system | injector |
| Cylinder diameter | 75 mm |
| Piston stroke | 75 mm |
* Fuel consumption depends on the car model on which this engine was installed. The motor does not provide a particularly economical ride, especially when individual tuning and power changes. On the other hand, Stage 2 tuning gives you access to 250-280 hp. power.
The main problems and troubles with the 1G-GE motor
Despite the simple classical structure and construction, maintenance problems are popular. To date, the main disadvantage power plants this type is age. With high mileage, the most unpleasant malfunctions appear, which are extremely expensive and difficult to repair. 
But there are a number of childhood diseases of the early inline six from Toyota:
- The Yamaha head was a problem, but the GEU motor, the predecessor of the 1G-GE, is known for a lot of problems.
- Starter. From age, this unit began to deliver serious experiences to car owners, and from the very beginning there were many complaints from motorists about it.
- Fuel injection system. Itself throttle It works well, but the injector has to be serviced regularly, its system is far from ideal.
- Major overhaul. You will have to search for connecting rods, repair pistons for a long time, as well as carefully bore the cylinder block to avoid its destruction.
- Zhor of oil. For 1000 km, this unit, after 200,000 km of run, can consume up to 1 liter of oil, and this is considered the factory standard.
The very process of maintenance and repair of this unit is quite complicated. That is just the replacement of the collector or its restoration. You will have to spend a lot of time at the service, just to remove the devices for inspection. In the 1G series, Toyota has tried to show all its engineering wonders. But GE in this case is not the worst option. For example, version 1G-FE BEAMS requires much more attention in any repair work.
What cars was this engine installed on?
The closest relatives of this engine model were installed on a huge the lineup corporations. But for the 1G-GE, the company found only four main models. They are Toyota models like Chaser, Cresta, Crown and Mark-II 1988-1992. All mid-size cars, sedans. The power and dynamics of the engine were enough with a margin for these models, but the consumption was not pleasing. 
Is a swap available for another Toyota unit?
The swap without alterations is only available within the same 1G series. Many Mark-II or Crown owners, who have already driven their own unit to the point of impossibility of repair, choose 1G-FE, which was installed on more models (for example, on the GX-81) and is available today for disassembly and as contract motors.
If you have the desire and time, you can also do a swap on 1-2JZ, for example, as well as on. These motors are heavier, so work out undercarriage vehicle, prepare a number of additional accessories and replacement parts. On a good service, the swap will last no more than 1 working day.
When swaping, you should pay special attention to the ECU settings, pinout, as well as various sensors such as a knock sensor. Without fine tuning, the motor simply will not work.
Contract motors - price, search and quality
In this age category of engines, it is much better to look for a motor in domestic disassembly, where you can return the engine or conduct high-quality diagnostics at the time of purchase. But contract engines are also available for purchase. In particular, they still supply directly from Japan this series with a fairly democratic mileage. Many motors have been in warehouses for a long time. 
When choosing, consider the following features:
- the average price already in Russia is 30,000 rubles;
- It is almost impossible to check the mileage, it is worth inspecting the candles, sensors, external parts;
- view the unit number, make sure that it is intact and has not been changed;
- the number itself is packed vertically at the bottom of the motor, you need to look near the starter;
- after installation on a car, check the compression in the cylinders and the oil pressure;
- when installing a used unit for the first time, it is worth changing the oil after 1500-2000 km.
Many problems arise with contract engines with mileage over 300,000 km. The optimal resource is estimated this engine 350,000-400,000 km of run. Therefore, when buying a motor that is too deserved, you will not leave yourself enough clearance for operation without problems.
Owners' opinions and conclusions on the 1G-GE motor
Owners Toyota cars prefer old engines, which turn out to be very worthy in terms of resource and do not cause significant problems in operation. It is worth paying attention to the quality of the service, since the use bad oil destroys parts piston group pretty fast. Low-quality fuel is also not for this unit, judging by the reviews of the owners.
Also in the reviews you can see that many people complain about increased consumption... Moderate travel modes should be followed, taking into account the respectful age of the vehicle.
In general, the motor is quite reliable, it must be repaired, albeit rather complicated in its design. If you are buying a contract power unit, make sure of its normal mileage and high quality. Otherwise, you will soon have to invest again in repair work.
The power plant, a 1g fe engine, has six cylinders arranged in an in-line type. Its work is carried out on gasoline fuel. The design and production of this engine was carried out by the Japanese carmaker Toyota. This event dates back to 1988. Its predecessor is the 1G EU powertrain.
This power unit has high reliability and dynamic qualities, with a relatively simple design. It is the most successful Toyota engine, so its installation on a large number of models took almost 30 years and ended in 2007.
First generation
For eight years, its design has remained unchanged. However, the release, in 1996, the restyling of new versions of cars, forced Japanese company to modernize the body elements, as well as the engine, to obtain higher power parameters. As a result of this modernization, the power, as well as the torque, increased by 5 Horse power and rpm, respectively. The design changes were not significant.
Motor modifications
The 1G engine has several modifications, which are presented below:
- 1G-EU- The installation of the first version of this engine has been carried out since 1979 on the Toyota Crown. The compression ratio in it is 8.8, the power indicator, at a crankshaft rotation frequency of 5400 rpm, reaches 125 hp. The torque indicator is 160 Nm, at a rotational speed of 4400 rpm. In 1983, adjustments were made, due to which there is a decrease in power by 20, and torque by 14 units, at the same crankshaft speeds. The installation of this unit was carried out on following models: Toyota Chaser X60, Cresta X50 / X60 / X70, Crown S110, Mark 2 X60, Soarer Z10 / Z.
- 1G-GEU. Its release lasted 5 years, from 1983 to 1988. This is an engine, the manifold of which is equipped with controls for changing the geometry of the flow of exhaust gases, and in its head, equipped with cylinders, 24 valves are installed. This contributed to the increase in power to 160 hp. and torque up to 186 Nm. In 1985, the designers reduced the number of horsepower of the car to 140 units. Installation was performed on data vehicles: Toyota Chaser X70, Mark 2 X60 / X70, Cresta X60 / X70, Crown S120, Soarer Z10 / Z20, Toyota Supra A.
- 1G version of GTEU - the history of production of this type lasted three years, from 1996 to 1988. This engine differs in that a turbo element was installed in it. This led to a reduction in the compression ratio to 8.5. The design of the power plant includes two turbochargers labeled CT. When a pressure of 0.5 bar is created, the power parameters given out by the engine are equal to 185 hp. at a crankshaft speed of 6200 rpm. And the torque value reaches Nm at an engine speed of rpm. Motor vehicles, with a 1G-GTEU engine installed under the hood: Toyota Chaser X70, Mark 2 X70, Cresta X70, Soarer Z20, Toyota Supra A70.
- 1G-GZEU / GZE was produced from 1986 to 1992. Unlike the previous engine, the turbine was replaced with an SC-14 compressor unit. Its compression ratio was 8, so the piston was replaced. Also, for the first time, the system was used in this power unit. electronic ignition... At 6,000 rpm, the engine has a power output of 160 hp. The torque parameters are 210 Nm when the tachometer value is kept at around 4000 rpm. As a result of the modernization of the product, which was produced in 1989, they began to be labeled GZE. Discharged by the compressors, the pressure was 0.5 bar. When the engine rpm reaches 6,000 rpm and 3,600 rpm, the power and torque values are 170 hp. 230 Nm respectively. The compressor engines were installed on the following Toyota car models: Chaser X80, Mark 2 X80, Cresta X80, Crown S130 and Soarer Z20.
- 1G-GE. The beginning of its release dates back to 1988, and the end of 1993. A Sensor was installed in it, which determined absolute pressure replacing the Sensor Mass Flow Air. It shows a decrease in maximum power relative to the GZE engine by 20 hp. and a maximum torque of 44 Nm. These parameters are achieved at the moment of rotation of the crankshaft at a speed of 6200 and 5400 rpm. Cars with 1G-GE engine: Toyota Chaser X80, Mark 2 X80, Cresta X80, Crown S130, Soarer Z20, Supra A70.
- 1G-GTE is a modified version of the 1G-GTEU engine. Manufacturing plant modernization of the crankshaft, intercooler, injectors, as well as the intake system. This resulted in an increase in pressure to 0.75 bar. Power indicators, as well as torque were 210 hp. and 275 Nm at a crankshaft speed of 6200 and 3800 rpm. The installation was carried out on cars where the 1G-GE was installed, with the exception of the Toyota Crown.
- And finally, the final, most successful and longest-produced engine, labeled 1G-FE. First this motor was produced in 1988 and continued to be produced for 17 years. By design features it resembles a 1G-GEU with a tapered 24-valve cylinder head. This unit replaced the 1G-EU. 135 h.p. power and 176 Nm of torque, produced by this engine.

1G-FE BEAMS
A major stage in the modernization of this engine took place in 1998. In connection with the release of the Altezza model, Toyota's designs were faced with the task of providing an increase in power and dynamic characteristics, without changing the engine configuration.
As a result, the frequency with which it rotates crankshaft engine has been increased, along with the compression ratio. Also, modern electronic devices, have been used in the cylinder head. You can distinguish this updated type of engine by the Beams prefix at the end of the marking. Translated from English, this means the last stage of the modernity of the motor, which he occupied in 1998.
The name of the power plants 1G-FE and 1G-FE Beams are similar, however, structurally they differ significantly. Therefore, interchangeability of parts of these engines is not possible.
The Toyota 1G-GTE engine is a 2-liter gasoline unit with a capacity of 210 liters. with. Due to its characteristics, the twin-turbocharged engine has earned the right to be installed on famous Japanese cars, including the Cresta and Chaser models from Toyota.
Engine history and description
ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!
The power unit was installed on Japanese-made cars designed to meet the needs domestic market island state. The line of 1G series engines began production back in 1979, when the first 12-valve engine, which was not distinguished by a complex design, rolled off the assembly line. 1G-EU is the firstborn of the product line, which gave a start to the development and further popularization of motors.
As the years passed, technologies improved, as a result of which on cars Toyota brands began to install powerful and durable twin turbo units. One of these strong units was the 1G-GTE model. For the sake of fairness, it should be noted that YAMAHA specialists had a hand in modernizing the engines of this line. The GTE model began production in 1988. In 1991, after 3 years from the start of production, the last 1G-GTE engine rolled off the assembly line.
1G-GTE is an improved version of 1G-GTEU with a number of characteristics. These include: a reinforced crankshaft, a modified intake, 315 cc injectors, an intercooler, etc. The boost pressure has been increased to 0.75 bar. The engine power is 210 horsepower, which many power units of this class cannot boast of.
Advantages and disadvantages
The endurance and high quality of the power unit is noted, however, taking into account the considerable age of the engines of this brand, one cannot count on perfect operation. So, curious to know about the strong and weaknesses the motor in question. Let's start with the benefits:
- The engine is able to withstand impressive loads without overheating. If, nevertheless, the unit is overworked and boiled, you need to notice a calm experience of significant loads
- If the timing belt breaks, the valves will not be damaged
- Unpretentious to fuel
- For its power class, fuel consumption is relatively low - 5.5 liters per 100 km
Having familiarized yourself with the pros, it is worth learning about the main disadvantages of the motor:
- Oil pressure drop
- Floating speed is sometimes observed, which is mostly due to the valve idle move or throttle
- The quality of the oil must be high enough, since the engine of this model is whimsical to lubricant
The owner of a Japanese car with a 1G-GTE engine needs to be prepared to check the clearances once every 20 thousand kilometers, since there are no hydraulic lifters on the motor. Also, due to the impressive age of the unit, high consumption oils, which are to blame for the oil scraper rings.
What cars are equipped with 1G-GTE motors
The power unit in question was produced for the equipment of Japanese-made cars. GTE was used to equip the following cars: Chaser, Cresta and Mark II. All models passenger cars intended for the domestic market of the Land of the Rising Sun. It cannot be said with certainty that the engine modification under consideration has found wide application in equipping cars. That is why today find a suitable motor in good condition Is a rather difficult task. But if you make an effort and spend some time, you will still be able to get a reliable and hardy unit for use.

Common malfunctions and operation
- Fast consumption engine oil... The reason is hidden in the sinking of the oil scraper rings, which is very typical for an engine with high mileage... De-carbonization or repair with replacement of piston rings, liners, valve stem seals, oil seals and other parts of the entire kit.
- Oil leak. Occurs due to wear of the pressure sensor. You need to buy and install a new one.
- Oil pressure instability. The problem is with the sensor itself. It is necessary to measure the pressure and replace the sensor.
- Change of turns. It is necessary to check the KXX valve, throttle valve and DPDZ. If you reinstall the last two, there is a possibility that they are not installed correctly.
Even on turbocharged engine modifications, turbochargers do not differ in their long service life. They need to be changed after one hundred thousand kilometers. Also not very installed good drive for the oil pump. In general, the engine requires good oil... On modifications of "Beams", when the timing belt breaks, the valves bend. In general, the motors are good, but time makes itself felt - even the latest FE-models are already quite old and worn out.
