1G in altezza? i thought altezza is 3s beams engine dual vvt-i ??
they come in two version... the one using 1GFE is cheaper...
the 1G-FE is actually quite new compare to the other 1GGE engine. i dunno how many generation of 1GFE engine there are, what i found on the net is 2 generation only. first one quite old, second one came out at 1998.
the second gen consisit of two version again, one with vvti and one without. Altezza used the one with vvti, 160hp@6200rpm and 20kg-m torque@4400hp 10:1 comp ratio
but its only abit cheaper... dunno why people would want it. the only thing i can think of is that toyota want to have an "F" head economy engine for the altezza but 3SFE don't provide the power 1GFE can lol...
