High compression version with Toyota TTC-C catalytic converter.
Toyota 3l engine parts series#
The development of the series began in the late 1970s, when Toyota wanted to develop a completely new engine for the Toyota Tercel, successor of Toyota's K engine. The original 1A engine was only 550 mm (21.6 in) long. To make the engine as short as possible, the cylinders are siamesed. The series has cast iron engine blocks and aluminum cylinder heads. The A Series engines are a family of inline-four internal combustion engines with displacement from 1.3 L to 1.8 L produced by Toyota Motor Corporation.
