1989-1992 Celica engine?

[MadDawg]

What kind of engine is in the 89-92 celica 4cyl cars? 3sfe or 5sfe?

[fredk]

3s for sure, it came with both the fe and the ge head and are 2000 cc, the 5s only came with the fe head and was 2200 cc but i cant remember when it replaced the 3sfe

[MadDawg]

So for a 1990 Celica, plain jain, what engine would be in there?

[turbo_GT]

it depends on what car you have.....the gt and gts camewith the 5sfe...the st came with the 3sfe....

[MadDawg]

sweet... i asked my friend, and he told me the ST has a sissy engine or something.... cause if i was to get one, it needs to have a 5sfe... or i will not sleep well at night

Just wanted to point out that in the US we got the 4A-FE in the ST (1.6L DOHC 16v L4)

OK, your gearing must be alot lower than in the GTs. You are redlining it in 5th, which I STILL can't do in mine, with lotsa mods and nitrous. But I can push the speedo over like that at about 5500rpm. I think I have gotten my car up to ALMOST 6k in 5th, and got a ticket for 135 for doing it.

Oh geez, I forgot about the 4afe, werent many, nothing like putting a corolla drivetrain in a celica huh?

[boosted gt]

corolla m.p.g in a celica

[MadDawg]

Hows the 4A-FE engine, as far as reliability is? i mean, compared to a 5sfe in power/durrability and 22r (not like it can fit in a celica, i just want a basic drawing bored grounds here)

[boosted gt]

the 4af in my 89 corolla lasted 220k+ miles with no engine work at all(except water pump and 1 timing belt change) i knew the orig owner and had the whole cars history and it was running when i sold it.

the 4afe in my celica has 170k miles and runs great!
