    (EP71)


The '3E' and '3E-E' engines are considered slightly less reliable than other Toyota engines, although they are also among the easiest engines to work on. The most common problems to affect these engines are carbon buildup in the intake valves, premature valve stem seal (nitrile) failure, 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 which last much longer.

1st Gen 4E-FE

The first generation of 4E engines found in the Starlet GI and Soleil models were produced from 1989 until 1996 the engine found in these two models obtained power figures of @ 6600 rpm and @ 5200 rpm. this engine had more in common with the 4efte sharing the same throttle body, and slightly larger injectors.

  • Specs:
  • 74 mm Bore
  • 77.4 mm Stroke
  • 9.6:1 Compression Ratio


4E-FTE

The 1st generation 4E-FE was the basis of the 4E-FTE, appearing in 1989, which was a turbocharged engine producing at 6400 rpm with 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 and Tercel, 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 different head gasket. It also features a harmonic damper instead of a normal crankshaft pulley. The turbocharger fitted to the 4E-FTE was Toyota's own CT9 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 overall or high boost was controlled by the actuator connected to the turbocharger. The 4E-FTE also had a "Top mounted", air cooled, intercooler. The 4E-FTE was mated to the Toyota C150 transmission or the optional C151 transmission which featured an LSD. Although aftermarket parts could substantially increase the power output of the engine, the major limitation is the fuel injection system, which tends to run too lean, even when the fuel cut-off is disabled (as one urban legend

 suggests).

  • Specs:
  • 74 mm Bore
  • 77.4 mm Stroke
  • 8.2:1 Compression Ratio


2nd Gen 4E-FE

The 2nd Generation of the 4E-FE was introduced in 1996 producing less peak power: @ 5500 rpm, but with a slight increase in peak torque at 4400 rpm. The 2nd generation of the 4E-FE was essentially the same engine as the 1st but the inlet and exhaust manifolds were changed along with a slight alteration of the ecu in order to try and reduce emissions.

  • Specs:
  • 74.3 mm Bore
  • 77.4 mm Stroke
  • 9.6:1 Compression Ratio


5E


The 5E is a 1.5 L (1497 cc) DOHC version. Output ranged from at 5400 rpm to at 6400 rpm with of torque at 3200 rpm to of torque at 4000 rpm. It appeared in 1991, and was discontinued after 1998. All 5E engines were fuel-injected.
