The Toyota 1G-GZE engine features a cast-iron cylinder block, aluminum cylinder head with dual belt-driven overhead camshafts (DOHC), four valves per cylinder (24 in total) and Supercharger SC14. The 1G-GZE is equipped with an electronic fuel injection system and a distributorless ignition system (DIS).

Cylinder bore and piston stroke are 75.0 mm (2.95 in) and 75.0 mm (2.95 in), respectively. The Compression ratio rating is 8.0:1.

This engine produced 170 PS (125 KW; 168 HP) at 6,000 rpm of maximum horsepower and 226 Nm (23.0 kg·m; 166.8 ft·lb) at 3,800 rpm of peak torque.

The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:

  • 1 – 1 generation engine
  • G – Engine family
  • G – Performance wide-angle DOHC
  • Z – Supercharged

Cylinder head

The cylinder head is made of a light, strong aluminum alloy with good cooling efficiency. The 1G-GZE engine has double camshafts (DOHC) and four valves per cylinder (24 valves in total). The 1G-GZE motor does not have hydraulic lifters, so special valve lifters are used to adjust the valve clearance.

Valve clearance adjustment data
Calculate the thickness of the new adjusting valve lifter so valve clearance comes within specified values.

R = Thickness of removed valve lifter
N = Thickness of new valve lifter
M = Measured valve clearance

Intake:
N = R + [M – 0.20 mm (0.008 in)]
Exhaust:
N = R + [M – 0.25 mm (0.010 in)]

For 1G-GZE engine valve lifters are available in 27 sizes to range from 2.00 mm (0.0787 in) to 3.30 mm (0.1299 in), in steps of 0.05 mm (0.0019 in).
