Toyota E engine
Encyclopedia
The Toyota E engine family is a straight-4
piston engine series, using a timing belt rather than a chain. Like many other Toyota engines from the era, the E engine series features a cast iron block, along with an aluminum cylinder head
. The members of the E engine family, range from 1.0 L to 1.5 L. The E family supplanted the K
engines in most applications. A large number of parts in the E engine series are interchangeable between each other.

Applications:
The '3E' and '3E-E' engines are considered slightly less reliable than other Toyota engines, although they are also among the easiest engines to service. The most common problems affecting these engines are premature valve stem seal (nitrile) failure, carbon buildup on the intake valves, and collapse of the oil control ring on the piston. Any of these conditions can lead to rough idling, stalling, and fouled spark plugs, and therefore need to be differentially diagnosed. The valve stem seals, at least, can be replaced with silicone or viton-based seals which last much longer.
Applications:
The engine found in these two models produced 99 bhp @ 6600 rpm and 86 ft.lbf @ 5200 rpm. This engine had more in common with the 4E-FTE, sharing the same throttle body, and slightly larger fuel injectors.
engine producing 133 hp at 6400 rpm with 116 ft.lbf of torque at 4800 rpm. The 4E-FTE was the most powerful of the E series engines ever produced. It was produced exclusively for the Toyota Starlet GT Turbo (Japan Only) and its replacement, the Toyota Glanza V (Japan only). However the 4E-FTE was a very popular conversion engine by enthusiasts for many small Toyota cars such as the Corolla, Tercel and Paseo, which it fitted into with standard Toyota parts. The 4E-FTE differed internally from the 4E-FE only by its stronger connecting rods, lower compression pistons and up-rated valve springs. It also featured a harmonic damper instead of a normal crankshaft pulley. The turbocharger fitted to the 4E-FTE was Toyota's own CT9 model, which featured an internal waste gate and had 2 modes: low (0.4 bar/40 kPa
) and high (0.65 bar/65 kPa) boost. The low boost mode was electronically controlled by a solenoid valve and the ECU
and the high boost was controlled by an actuator connected to the turbocharger. The 4E-FTE also had a top mounted, air cooled intercooler
. The 4E-FTE was mated to the Toyota C52 transmission (for the EP82 Starlet GT) and the C56 transmission (for the EP91 Glanza V). Although aftermarket parts could substantially increase the power output to 400 hp, the major limitation is the fuel injection system and the stock ECU.

It was introduced in 1990 and discontinued in 1998. All 5E engines were fuel-injected. In 1995 Toyota changed the ignition system to a distributorless, coil-over-plug setup (DIS), and began using flat topped pistons, a much thinner 0.26mm head gasket and dual electrode spark plugs. In 1996 the connecting rods changed to the same thinner ones used in the second generation 4E-FTE. In 1997 a return-less fuel system was added.Applications:
