Although both have the same displacement and are DOHC, they were optimized for different uses. The first obvious difference are the valves, the engine's intake and exhaust valves were placed 22.3° apart (compared to 50° in the G-Engines). The second is that it employed a 'slave cam system', one camshaft's sprocket rotated the other camshaft's sprocket (Both camshaft's sprockets on the G-Engine are rotated by the timing belt). The plus side of this design that it improved fuel efficiency and made the engine very torquey, on the down side it compromises power, about 20% less power compared to the 4A-GE. Power rating varies during certain generations that had the engine.</p><p>Toyota designed this engine with fuel economy in mind. The 4A-FE is basically the same as the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_A_engine#4A-F" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">4A-F</span></a> (introduced in the previous generation of Corollas), the most apparent difference was the fuel delivery system. The 4A-F used a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carburetor" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">carburetor</span></a>, while the 4A-FE used <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_fuel_injection" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">electronic fuel injection</span></a> system (notice the 'E'). Also, the 4A-FE had extra power. The engine was succeeded by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_ZZ_engine" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">3ZZ-FE</span></a>, a 1.6-liter engine with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VVT-i" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">VVT-i</span></a> technology.</p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_displacement" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">Engine displacement</span></a> - 1.6 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liters" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">liters</span></a> (1587 cc)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Layout - DOHC Inline-4 (Straight-4)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valves" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">Valves</span></a> - 16, 4 for each cylinder</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_%28physics%29" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">Power</span></a> - 105 hp (77 kW) @ 5800 rpm<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">also as 114 hp (84 kW) @ 6000 rpm used in Europe E10 1.6 GLI Liftback (only delivered in 1992)</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">Torque</span></a> - 101 ft·lbf (137 N·m) @ 4800 rpm</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Redline - 6300 rpm</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Fuel Delivery System - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_fuel_injection" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">MPFI</span></a></li> </ul><p><em>Note - power and torque specs are from the 1988-1992 North American Corollas.</em></p><p>Although not as powerful as the 4A-GE, both engines are renowned for the power they produce from such a low displacement (relative to other engines).

Production of the various models of this version lasted for three generations, from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">1983</span></a> through <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">1992</span></a> for most versions, though the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-valve" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">5-valve</span></a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_A_engine#20-valve_4A-GE" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">4A-GE</span></a> lasted through <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">1998</span></a>.

It was extremely light and strong for an all-iron engine block, and production lasted through <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">1990</span></a>. The second-generation added piston-cooling oil sprays and higher <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">compression ratios</span></a>. The third-generation appeared in late <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">1991</span></a> with the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_A_engine#20_Valve_4A-GE" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">20 valve 4A-GE</span></a>, which was itself updated in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">1996</span></a> before being retired in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">1998</span></a>.</p><p>Power output for the 4-valve version varied widely, from 112 hp (84 kW) at 6600 rpm to 138 hp (103 kW) at 7200 rpm. Again, torque was closer, varying from 97 ft·lbf (131 N·m) at 4800 rpm to 110 ft·lbf (149 N·m) at 4800 rpm.</p><p>Special versions included the Japan-spec <strong>4A-GEU</strong>, California-spec <strong>4A-GEC</strong>, and even a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finland" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">Finnish</span></a>-spec 4A-GE, as well as the transverse-mounted <strong>4A-GEL</strong>. The engine was used in the company's flagship car, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Corolla" target="_blank"><span style="color: #810081">Toyota Corolla</span></a>, in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980s" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">1980s</span></a>.</p><p>The 4A-GE was one of the earliest <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-4" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">inline-4</span></a> engines to have both <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOHC" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">DOHC</span></a> 16 valves and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_fuel_injection" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">electronic fuel injection</span></a> (EFI). Toyota designed this engine with performance in mind; its twin camshafts are 50 degrees apart to allow decent power, but this sacrifices <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">torque</span></a>. This engine is very popular with racers and tuners because of its ease of modification, simple design, and lightness.</p><p>The engine was first introduced in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">1983</span></a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AE86" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">Sprinter Trueno AE86</span></a> and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AE86" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">Corolla Levin AE86</span></a> sports version. The AE86 marked the end of the 4A-GE as a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rear_wheel_drive" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">rear wheel drive</span></a> (RWD or FR) mounted engine, alongside the RWD AE86/AE85 coupes a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_wheel_drive" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">front wheel drive</span></a> (FWD or FF) corolla (the AE82) was produced and future corolla/sprinter's were all based around the FF layout. The engine was retired from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">North American</span></a> Corollas in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">1991</span></a>, although it continued to be available in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo_Prizm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">Geo Prizm</span></a> GSi (sold through Chevrolet dealerships) from 1990-1992.</p><p>Clarification: In the US market, the 4A-GE engine was first used in the 1985 model year Corolla GT-S only, which is identified as an "AE88" in the VIN but uses the AE86 chassis code on the firewall as the AE88 is a "sub" version of the AE86. The 4A-GE engines for the 1985 model year are referred to as "Blue top" as opposed to the later "Red top" engines, because the paint color on the valve covers is different, to show the different engine revision, using different port sizes, different airflow metering, and other minor differences on the engine.</p><p>An AE86 chassis code may be a base model Corolla, or an SR-5, with a 4A-C engine. Only the AE88 version carried the 4A-GE engine and GT-S designations in the US. In other markets, other designations were used. Much confusion exists, even among dealers, as to which models contained what equipment, especially since Toyota split the Corolla line into both RWD and FWD versions, and the GT-S designation was only well known as a Celica version at that time.</p><p>Toyota models that have had this engine:</p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_MR2" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">Toyota MR2</span></a> AW11 - Mid-engine RWD</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Corolla AE88 GT-S - RWD (often referred to as generic AE86 chassis group)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Corolla AE82 FX-16 - FWD</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Corolla AE92 GT-S - FWD</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">SE Sedan (North America): (RWD from 1983-87 and FWD from 1988-91)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Some Celicas</li> </ul><p>Other models equipped with the 4A-GE:</p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Chevrolet Nova (based on Toyota AE82 chassis; 1984-1988-- These 4A-GE cars were exceptionally rare)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo_Prizm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">Geo Prizm</span></a> GSi (based on Toyota AE92 chassis; 1990-1992)</li> </ul><p>Specifications:</p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_displacement" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">Engine displacement</span></a> - 1.6 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Litre" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">litres</span></a> (1587 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_centimetre" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">cc</span></a>)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Layout - DOHC Inline-4 (Straight-4)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valves" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">Valves</span></a> - 16, 4 per each cylinder</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Power - 115-140 hp (96-103 kW) @ 6600 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutions_per_minute" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">rpm</span></a></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">Torque</span></a> - 109 ft·lbf (148 N·m) @ 5800 rpm</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Redline - 7600 rpm</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fuel_Delivery_System&action=edit" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">Fuel Delivery System</span></a> - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_fuel_injection" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">MPFI</span></a></li> </ul><p>Toyota sponsored the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champ_Car_Atlantic_Championship" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff">Champ Car Atlantic Championship</span></a> from 1990 to 2005.

The first obvious difference are the valves, the engine's intake and exhaust valves were placed 22.3° apart (compared to 50° in the G-Engines). The second is that it employed a 'slave cam system', one camshaft's sprocket rotated the other camshaft's sprocket (Both camshaft's sprockets on the G-Engine are rotated by the timing belt). The plus side of this design that it improved fuel efficiency and made the engine very torquey, on the down side it compromises power, about 20% less power compared to the 4A-GE. Power rating varies during certain generations that had the engine. Toyota designed this engine with fuel economy in mind. The 4A-FE is basically the same as the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_A_engine#4A-F"][COLOR=#0000ff]4A-F[/COLOR][/URL] (introduced in the previous generation of Corollas), the most apparent difference was the fuel delivery system. The 4A-F used a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carburetor"][COLOR=#0000ff]carburetor[/COLOR][/URL], while the 4A-FE used [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_fuel_injection"][COLOR=#0000ff]electronic fuel injection[/COLOR][/URL] system (notice the 'E'). Also, the 4A-FE had extra power. The engine was succeeded by the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_ZZ_engine"][COLOR=#0000ff]3ZZ-FE[/COLOR][/URL], a 1.6-liter engine with [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VVT-i"][COLOR=#0000ff]VVT-i[/COLOR][/URL] technology.

Toyota engineers have skillfully optimized the power and torque from its relatively low-displacement engines. The engine was used in the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Corolla"][COLOR=#810081]Toyota Corolla[/COLOR][/URL] Sedan from 1988 to 1998 and in the 5th Generation Celica ST models from 1989-1993 both in North America and Europe , as well as the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camry"][COLOR=#0000ff]Camry[/COLOR][/URL] from '87 to '91. [B]4A-G (16-valve)[/B] The next major modification was the high-performance [B]4A-G[/B], with the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_injected"][COLOR=#0000ff]fuel injected[/COLOR][/URL] version, the [B]4A-GE[/B], being the most powerful. Production of the various models of this version lasted for three generations, from [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983"][COLOR=#0000ff]1983[/COLOR][/URL] through [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992"][COLOR=#0000ff]1992[/COLOR][/URL] for most versions, though the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-valve"][COLOR=#0000ff]5-valve[/COLOR][/URL] [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_A_engine#20-valve_4A-GE"][COLOR=#0000ff]4A-GE[/COLOR][/URL] lasted through [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998"][COLOR=#0000ff]1998[/COLOR][/URL].

The first-generation [B]4A-GE[/B] replaced the [I][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_T_engine#2T"][COLOR=#0000ff]2T-G[/COLOR][/URL][/I] in most applications. It was extremely light and strong for an all-iron engine block, and production lasted through [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990"][COLOR=#0000ff]1990[/COLOR][/URL]. The second-generation added piston-cooling oil sprays and higher [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio"][COLOR=#0000ff]compression ratios[/COLOR][/URL]. The third-generation appeared in late [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991"][COLOR=#0000ff]1991[/COLOR][/URL] with the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_A_engine#20_Valve_4A-GE"][COLOR=#0000ff]20 valve 4A-GE[/COLOR][/URL], which was itself updated in [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1996"][COLOR=#0000ff]1996[/COLOR][/URL] before being retired in [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998"][COLOR=#0000ff]1998[/COLOR][/URL]. Power output for the 4-valve version varied widely, from 112 hp (84 kW) at 6600 rpm to 138 hp (103 kW) at 7200 rpm. Again, torque was closer, varying from 97 ft·lbf (131 N·m) at 4800 rpm to 110 ft·lbf (149 N·m) at 4800 rpm. Special versions included the Japan-spec [B]4A-GEU[/B], California-spec [B]4A-GEC[/B], and even a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finland"][COLOR=#0000ff]Finnish[/COLOR][/URL]-spec 4A-GE, as well as the transverse-mounted [B]4A-GEL[/B]. The engine was used in the company's flagship car, the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Corolla"][COLOR=#810081]Toyota Corolla[/COLOR][/URL], in the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980s"][COLOR=#0000ff]1980s[/COLOR][/URL]. The 4A-GE was one of the earliest [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-4"][COLOR=#0000ff]inline-4[/COLOR][/URL] engines to have both [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOHC"][COLOR=#0000ff]DOHC[/COLOR][/URL] 16 valves and [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_fuel_injection"][COLOR=#0000ff]electronic fuel injection[/COLOR][/URL] (EFI). Toyota designed this engine with performance in mind; its twin camshafts are 50 degrees apart to allow decent power, but this sacrifices [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque"][COLOR=#0000ff]torque[/COLOR][/URL]. This engine is very popular with racers and tuners because of its ease of modification, simple design, and lightness. The engine was first introduced in the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983"][COLOR=#0000ff]1983[/COLOR][/URL] [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AE86"][COLOR=#0000ff]Sprinter Trueno AE86[/COLOR][/URL] and the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AE86"][COLOR=#0000ff]Corolla Levin AE86[/COLOR][/URL] sports version. The AE86 marked the end of the 4A-GE as a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rear_wheel_drive"][COLOR=#0000ff]rear wheel drive[/COLOR][/URL] (RWD or FR) mounted engine, alongside the RWD AE86/AE85 coupes a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_wheel_drive"][COLOR=#0000ff]front wheel drive[/COLOR][/URL] (FWD or FF) corolla (the AE82) was produced and future corolla/sprinter's were all based around the FF layout. The engine was retired from [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_America"][COLOR=#0000ff]North American[/COLOR][/URL] Corollas in [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991"][COLOR=#0000ff]1991[/COLOR][/URL], although it continued to be available in the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo_Prizm"][COLOR=#0000ff]Geo Prizm[/COLOR][/URL] GSi (sold through Chevrolet dealerships) from 1990-1992. Clarification: In the US market, the 4A-GE engine was first used in the 1985 model year Corolla GT-S only, which is identified as an "AE88" in the VIN but uses the AE86 chassis code on the firewall as the AE88 is a "sub" version of the AE86. The 4A-GE engines for the 1985 model year are referred to as "Blue top" as opposed to the later "Red top" engines, because the paint color on the valve covers is different, to show the different engine revision, using different port sizes, different airflow metering, and other minor differences on the engine. An AE86 chassis code may be a base model Corolla, or an SR-5, with a 4A-C engine. Only the AE88 version carried the 4A-GE engine and GT-S designations in the US. In other markets, other designations were used. Much confusion exists, even among dealers, as to which models contained what equipment, especially since Toyota split the Corolla line into both RWD and FWD versions, and the GT-S designation was only well known as a Celica version at that time.

It was a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturally-aspirated"][COLOR=#0000ff]naturally-aspirated[/COLOR][/URL] engine with an additional intake valve for each cylinder, making it one of the first production [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-valve"][COLOR=#0000ff]5-valve[/COLOR][/URL] engines in history. These generation engines also featured quad throttle bodies. The engine can be recognized by its silver or black top. This was the last of the 4A family to be produced. Toyota [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VVT"][COLOR=#0000ff]VVT[/COLOR][/URL] was used for 160–165 hp (123–127 kW) at 7800 rpm and 120 ft·lbf (162 N·m) at 5600 rpm, quite impressive for a naturally-aspirated 1.6 L engine. Note that although VVT was present in the silver top and the black top 4A-GE, VVT-i was not available.

[B]7A[/B] The largest A-series engine was the 1.8 L (1762 cc) [B]7A-FE[/B]. Produced from [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993"][COLOR=#0000ff]1993[/COLOR][/URL] to [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998"][COLOR=#0000ff]1998[/COLOR][/URL], it was a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-valve"][COLOR=#0000ff]4-valve[/COLOR][/URL] [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOHC"][COLOR=#0000ff]DOHC[/COLOR][/URL] narrow-valve-angle economy engine. Cylinder bore was 81 mm (3.19 in) and stroke was 85.5 mm (3.37 in). An early Canadian version produced 115 hp (86 kW) at 5600 rpm and 110 ft·lbf (149 N·m) at 2800 rpm. The most common version is rated at 115 hp (86 kW) at 5600 rpm and 115 ft·lbf (155 N·m) at 2800 rpm engine. In the United States, the 7A-FE's most common application was in the 1993–1997 [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Corolla"][COLOR=#810081]Toyota Corolla[/COLOR][/URL] (7th generation). The engine was also used in some 1994–1999 [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Celica"][COLOR=#0000ff]Toyota Celicas[/COLOR][/URL] (6th generation) at the base ST trim level, as well as the Toyota Corolla's clone, the [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo_Prizm"][COLOR=#0000ff]Geo Prizm[/COLOR][/URL]. Since the 7A shares the same layout as the 4A it is possible to create a 7A-G(Z)E out of a 7A-FE bottom and a 4A-G(Z)E head. Since the 7A is a very common engine the upgrade from 4A-G(Z)E to 7A-G(Z)E should be relatively cheap. This is a popular upgrade amongst drifters (mostly [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_AE86"][COLOR=#0000ff]AE86[/COLOR][/URL] drivers) who are always in need of more torque. The Indonesian and Russian version of 7A-FE has strongest output, 120 hp (89 kW) at 6000 rpm and 16 kgf·m (157 N·m) at 4400 rpm, with 9.5 compression ratio. It appears in the 8th generation Corolla (AE112). It is a noninterference type engine.
