Toyota S-series engines belong to a family of 1.8-2.2 liter in-line four-cylinder engines with a cast-iron cylinder block and an alloy cylinder head.
There are only five generations of engines in this series: 1S - 5S. Often among people interested in motor sports, you can hear about the third of them.
The 3S engine has, as already mentioned, four cylinders arranged in a row, with a total volume of 1.99 liters. It has several modifications: 3S-FC, 3S-FE, known to many 3S-GE (only five generations), 3S-GTE, created on the basis of GE, 3S-GTM. So, for example, the 3S-FC engine could be seen under the hood of the Toyota Camry, produced in 1987-1991. FE modification was installed on Celica SSI and Carina E.
Further - more interesting. The GE 3S engine was installed in the Celica 2.0 GT-i 16, Celica GT-R, MR2, and from 1997 to 2005 this unit was installed under the hood of the Altezza and Caldina GT. The GT modification can be seen under the hood on the Eagle Mk, Supra, GT JZA80, and the GTE modification on the Celica GT-Four, MR2 and Caldina GT-Four.
The most popular in Russia is the 3S-GE engine. As already mentioned, a single-row motor has four cylinders, its block is iron, and the headaluminum cylinder block. The order of operation of the cylinders: 1st-3rd-4th-2nd. The first one is located next to the timing belt. The first iteration of this engine weighed only 143 kg. The pistons were made of aluminum. The engine of this modification has five generations.
The first generation was produced from 1984 to 1989 and had a power of 135 hp. The Celica GT-S was equipped with this engine. The second was produced from 1990 to 1993. In the domestic market, this engine developed 165 hp. s., on the outside - 156 liters. With. The third generation is released from 1994 to 1999. Power has grown to 180 hp. With. The fourth generation, also known as Red Top BEAMS, has been in production since 1997. BEAMS is an abbreviation that means "opening engine with an advanced system of mechanisms." He developed power already in 200 liters. With. (automatic version - 190 hp). They were equipped with MR2 G, Celica ST202 and Caldina. Finally, the fifth generation was released in 1998, the power was already 210 hp. With. This generation was installed in Altezza.
Swiftly gaining momentum in Russia is such a type of motorsport as drifting, and became the reason for the popularity of these motors. Now Altezza has replaced the Silvia, and it has a 3S-GE under the hood. Some athletes, however, prefer it, for example, 2JZ, but this is a completely different level. Therefore, novice athletes are quite satisfied with the 3S engine. Reviews about it mainly contain information that it is quite powerful, unpretentious in use. Altezza with such an engine quickly accelerates to hundreds - in 6.8 seconds, and withplaces are torn quite briskly. This motor is assisted by 210 hp. With. However, they require a lot. Altezza only loves 98 gasoline, and therefore "eats" it like a child - sweets. But despite this, the owners of this engine and, in particular, this car, are very satisfied.
Some speed enthusiasts and motorsport professionals resort to such a procedure as swap (swap). It is a replacement of components and assemblies of the car in order to improve its dynamic characteristics. So, for example, instead of its native 3S-GE, the aforementioned Altezza is equipped with a 3S-GTE with the appropriate transmission, brakes and other components. The GTE engine differs from the usual GE in the presence of a turbocharger and more power, respectively. So, the maximum power is 225 liters. With. However, this increase in horsepower will also require new, more powerful brakes and a more efficient cooling system.
