Many compact cars are powered by four-cylinder motors.
Toyota make-believe two versions of the four -cylinder 5E-FE engine. Produced from 1992 to 1995, the first-generation 5E-FE engine was the base motor in the Toyato Paseo and Cynos.
The second-generation 5E-FE engine was in production from 1995 to 1999. It was the base engine for the Toyato Paseo, Cynos, Tercel and Corsa.
First-Generation Specifications
The first-generation 5E-FE Toyota engine produced 100 horsepower at 6,400 rpm. The torque was rated at 91ft.-lb. at 3200 rpm. The engine displacement in cubic centimeter was 1497. The 5E-FE had a cylinder bore of 77 mm and a stroke of 77.4 mm. Its compression ratio was 9.4 to 1. The engine had four valves per cylinder for a total of 16 valves. The valve angle was 25 degrees. The engine was of the dual-overhead-camshaft design. It used a distributor-type ignition system. The factory specified spark plug gap was 0.044 inches. The engine was fuel-injected with excess fuel returned to be burned. The head gasket thickness was 1 mm. The cylinder head combustion chamber volume was 39 cubic centimeters.
First-Generation Additional Information
The first-generation 5E-FE was an improved version of Toyota's 3E-E motor. The 5E-FE had a 16-valve engine with 18 more horsepower than the same-sized 12 valve 3E-E.The engine was the base engine in the Toyota Paseo, Corsa, Tercel and Cynos.
Additional Information for the Second Generation
More technically advanced than its earlier version, the second-generation 5E-FE utilized knock-sensing technology and a distributorless-ignition system. In 1997, Toyota completed a small redesign to the engine by removing the EGR valve and replacing it with an advanced charcoal canister system without compromising emission standards.Introduced by Toyota in 1995, the second-generation 5F-FE motor had a number of improvements over the first generation. Toyota reduced the bore to 74 mm, although the stroke remained the same. Horsepower decreased to 94, but was reached at a lower engine speed of 5400 rpm. The torque increased to 100 ft.-lb. at 3,400 rpm. Toyota modified the ignition system to a distributerless type. There was a head gasket revision to a thickness 0.5 mm. The diameter of the cylinder intake port was 24.4 mm, while the exhaust port diameter was 21 mm.
This was a meaningful improvement, and many enthusiasts replaced their 3E-E with the 5E-FE.Some parts are shared between the two engines, such as the crankshaft and connecting rods.
Second-Generation Specifications
Simultaneously, Toyota amended the fuel system to be returnless.
