how many cylinders?

[Hybrid]

i have a friend that has an older model camry coupe. he wants to know if his car is a v6 or a v4. when i looked at his engine it said 2200 and 16 valves. does this mean the car has 4 cylinders? i dont know of any V6s with 2.2 liters

Yeah its a 4cyl. 16 valves would mean if it was a v6 it would have 2.667 valves for each cylinder... which it doesn... and 2.2l is too small for a v6

4 clylinder...definetly 5sfe from the sounds of it as well

er,,, to clear up any confusion, toyota doesn't use v4 enignes, they use i4 engines(inline 4)

Why don't you count the number of spark plugs?

^Because we were having too much fun messing with the poor guy.

Mazda made a 1800CC V6

MX-3, right?

2.2L isnt too small for a V6...Toyota made the 1VZFE, a 2.0L V6, replacement motor for the 2VZFE in the JDM market.

so how much horsepower does the engine produce?

[S2B_Blown_3.5]

about 130 in the 1992-1994 model, 125 in the 95-96 models. Keep in mind though, on a slushbox (aka automatic tranny) it barely puts 100 horsepower to the wheels.
Not sure about the Gen 4 though, probably about the same as the 92-94 models. I don't know if the Gen 2 used the 5S, i thought they had the 3SFE / 3SGE

[CrawlingEye]

The engine put out around 130hp/145ft/lb and the gen2 used the 3sfe. The 3sge was NEVER used in a Camry, regardless of JDM or not or generation. In fact, I don't believe they ever used an engine with a G head design.
