The 4A-GE (or 4A-GEU) is an internal combustion engine manufactured by Toyota. It was used in the company's flagship car, the Corolla, in the 1980s. This engine is part of the company's 4A engine series (as noted by the name).
1 Description
The 4A-GE was one of the earliest inline-4 engines to have both DOHC 16 valves and electronic fuel injection (EFI). Toyota designed this engine with perfomance in mind; its twin camshafts are 50 degrees apart to allow decent power, but this sacrifices torque. This engine is very popular with racers and tuners (namely those who own an AE86) because of its ease of modification, simple design, and lightness.
2 History
The engine was first introduced in the 1983 Trueno Sprinter AE86 and the Corolla Levin AE86 sports version. In 1988, the engine was placed in front wheel drive (FWD or FF) format as opposed to rear wheel drive (RWD or FR). The engine was retired from North American Corollas in 1990.
