:: Toyota engines ::

One can only stand back in awe when thinking about all the different types of Toyota engines exist, each with its own capabilities. This Japanese motor manufacturer has been building a Toyota engine for each of three broadest categories of car engines: 4 cylinders, 6 cylinders, 8 cylinders and even 12 cylinders. Being pioneers of twin-cam technology, Toyota has provided us with top engineered products of world class for the standard as well as specialized consumer.

Toyota’s V12 engine, coded 1GZ-FE is the big bad boy this manufacturer can show off. This wonder of technology is a 12 cylinder engine Currently this 4-valve DOHC monster can only be found in Century limousines in Japan. With an incredible displacement of 5.0 liters and a compression ratio of 10.5:1 this motor is certainly the most powerful one yet.

Following the V12, comes the biggest V8 engine by Toyota, the 2UZ-FE. With an impressive displacement capacity of 4.7 liters and a twin cam setup for 32 valves, this respectable motor exerts a potent torque at 422N. The big Toyota off-road vehicles use this engine for maximum capacity.

The well known 2JZ-GTE engine is Toyotas most powerful 6 cylinder engine. These 3.0 engines displace at 3.0 liters, pulling off a strong torque rated at 451 Nm. With a twin turbo and special intercooler configuration, this engine can really knock off some serious speeds.

Finally, on the top of Toyotas 4 cylinder chain the 3S-GTE is the star. With a displacement of 2.0 liters, DOHC 16 valve turbo and a 8.5:1 compression ratio you can expect the engine to exert a torque of 240 Nm.
