Toyota T engine

The Toyota T series is a family of inline-four automobile engines that Toyota manufactured from 1970 to 1985. It began as a pushrod overhead valve design, and performance oriented twin cam variants were added later, marked by the G designation. All T engines use a timing chain, a cast iron block and an alloy cylinder head with a hemispherical combustion chamber, and they are carburetted except for the versions with electronic fuel injection. The 4T-GTE variant let Toyota compete in the World Rally Championship in the early 1980s, which made it the first Japanese manufacturer to do so. Race engines such as the 100E and 151E were based on the 2T-G. The family powered the Carina, Celica and Corolla among other cars.
