Why the Toyota S Engines Are Super Reliable and Strong

[@barryf5479]

I had an 86 Celica GTS hatchback with the 3SGE engine. It was the first year they made a front wheel drive Celica. Fun car. I put 220,000 miles on it and gave it to a relative. I did have to do a valve job on it (leaky seals) around 120K miles. It was low torque at low RPMs but if you got it over about 4,000 RPMs, the second set of valves kicked in and it had a bit of a boost in power at that speed. I got mine up to 135 MPH once on a new highway.

[@speedkar99]

Nice to hear from an owner

[@noboto4686]

Got the Camry with the 3S-FE 200i motor. Never gives up. I service it every 5000km. And will probably go a million kms no problem. Timing belt and all maintenance done before it is due

[@speedkar99]

How much km on it now ?

[@benniestander2725]

@@speedkar99 220 000 km

[@JF-xq6fr]

IMO and work experience, the 5S-FE is a beast of reliability... Iron block, very over-built for its low HP and torque, bucket and shims for less moving mass, non-interference design... 3S-FE same thing. Valve stem seals were a problem, but not much else... Even the non metallic gear for the balance shaft assembly worked just fine for a very long time. Late 80-mid 90s are what I consider Toyota's golden age.

[@JasonLuther1]

I agree, I still daily drive my 96 Camry with the 5S-FE. Only major maintenance other than routine stuff like timing belt and oil change was replace the "batwing" oil pump gasket and shaft seal. Super easy to work on. Its a little ugly but she just won't quit. I have no reason to get rid of it.

[@identifiesas65.wheresmyche95]

Wasnt the 5s-fe used up until 2002?

[@identifiesas65.wheresmyche95]

@@JasonLuther1 The crank shaft seal is what you're talking about? I'm looking at an old 2000 with the same engine in unknown condition so if I get it, would you recommend replacing those seals on the oil pump housing? I take it they would be easy to access when you're replacing timing belt and water pump anyway? I would replace the timing belt anyway because I dont feel like getting stuck somewhere and its a 23 year old car by now.

[@JF-xq6fr]

@@identifiesas65.wheresmyche95 In the Camry for sure - 2002 on was the 2AZ-FE - All aluminum, VVT-i, timing chain, auto-tensioner for the single drive belt, drive by wire, external waterpump, etc. A lot like a second generation larger displacement 1ZZ-FE.

That was the golden age for a few other manufacturers as well Nissan and BMW...it's been downhill since.

[@darrensmith9407]

It's like the 3S-GE is a two litre version of the 2JZ-GE...i still can't believe they took a three litre 2JZ-GTE "out" of Tom's Castrol Supra and fitted a two litre 3S-GTE...and then went on to "win" heaps of championship races with it wtf!

[@speedkar99]

I suppose they are both from that era

[@relax9086]

The 2jzgte were much much heavier than the 3sgte that's the main reason they did it.

[@vladislavfeldman6562]

I had a 3sge on a 88 celica good for 450,000 km , rough driving, did delivery runs in it, got it up to 200 km/h downhill (195 on straight), gearbox (automatic) lasted for 700,000 km. Could have lasted longer but radiator went and overheated. Faster than 5sfe in a 91 celica.

[@speedkar99]

Nice, 700K!

[@Mr.Engineer.]

The 3SGTE has a completely different exhaust manifold. Looks more like a log manifold, but it run a split turbine CT26 turbo so the Manifold is also split. The 3SGTE/5SFE hybrid is well built and support a lot of horsepower :D

[@speedkar99]

I didn't know that. I guess the split turbine is actually a thing. Thanks

[@Mr.Engineer.]

@@speedkar99 The exhaust channel inside the turbine housing is split so that you have two separated channels leading to the turbine wheel and the manifold is equally split so that two cylinders feed one channel and the other two cylinders feed the other side. I am not sure, but I think it is to better use the scavenging effect and for quicker spool with less pulsing. But google should have the scientific papers on the system if you want to research it.

[@Mr.Engineer.]

[@Samqdf]

You did a really good job with this video and the information you conveyed. I don't have that much additional information to add to it but this is what I thought of just in case you were curious although I wouldn't be surprised if you already know almost all of this already. 1:25 I completely agree on the weight, the 3SGTE Alternator mount I weighed was 5.0Kg! (11lb) and that's just for the bare mount which I think is obscenely heavy for what it is. 4:40, the later 3S models went to a hydraulic belt tensioning system, initially a separate tensioner and a pulley but then on the Gen-5 Beams going to an integrated pulley/tensioner combination unit. 5:30 Unless they are different than what I have seen so far those are JIS / Japanese International Standard bolt heads, not Philips. A very common misconception, the difference is that the JIS bolts don't have any taper to the slots and as such are not designed to key out under too much force unlike the Philips. In my personal opinion both are rubbish. 5:35 Only the earlier (Only Gen-1?) models of 3S engines has separate cam covers. 8:40 In addition to what you said the 5SFE's also had a balance shaft as a result to having worse harmonics at the same revs from the combination of both the longer stroke and also the lower rod to stroke ratio. 10:40 The later engines have the oil pump push the oil back down to the upper Aluminium section of the sump that houses the regulator, sensor and oil filter before going back up into the oil pump housing to be diverted into the block. They also have an integrated crank position sensor. 11:30 The later 3S engines went to MLS head gaskets, I double checked and can confirm that the Gen-5 Beams uses a 3-layer while the long since discontinued TRD versions used a 2-layer at only 0.55mm thick total. 10:40 Isn't that a closed deck block design? A semi-open deck looks very different to this. 12:40 As mentioned in another comment that's an oil pressure sensor for the in dash gauge. 14:10 That's the "Toyota Variable intake system" / TVIS or as some people like to joke it really being short for "This Version Is Shit" due to the fact that it was only used on the earliest versions of 3SG and 4AGE engines. I don't know if it was ever used on the 5SFE engines? I think it might have also been used on some 7M engines? On top of all the reasons you stated it was used because they had such a large cross sectional for the ports which resulted in bad air flow stagnation at lower revs and all the issues that go along with that. 15:20 Correct in terms of strength with the sole exception I can think of is that the 5S block is known for being stronger and not being potentially prone to split at very high loads through the middle of cylinders 2 and 3 as the early to mid 3S blocks were. Another odd quirk is that the last 5S engine had a higher flowing oil pump that up to the Gen-3 3S engines, possibly Gen-4 as well but not the Gen-5 as they had very wide oil pump gears and feeds to both sides of those gears. Anyway that's all of it, as always I am open to input and corrections as I want to be told if I am ever wrong.

The oil light came on in my 91' MR2 5S, but luckily i didn't give up on finding the cause of the issue. After deciding to tear into it, i found the nut on oil pump gear actually loosened the oil pump to where it failed and caused me to lose oil pressure. The gear itself was shredded so I replaced the oil pump, timing belt job, and resealed my leaking oil pan. It was a huge PITA bc its so cramped, but I finished in about 2 months and its been running great ever since.

Inline engines rarely have more than 2 bolt main caps. I've heard the reason 4 bolt or cross bolt main caps are popular in V8s is because the piston forces aren't straight up and down - each bank of cylinders pushes in from a 45 degree angle and creates sideways forces on the main caps.

[@speedkar99]

Good thoughts. I would have expected at least 4 bearing bolts

[@TheMingilator]

3sgte had an entirely different exhaust manifold for the turbo, still cast iron though, the blocks were pretty durable right up to the rev 3 which had an inferior iron, it would occasionaly crack near the water pump on highly tuned 3sgte engines, the rev1/2/4/5 did not have this problem, the rev 4/5 had thinner conrods and all 3sgte had mls gaskets, also that's a low oil pressure warning switch not a damper, the exhaust system is a 4-2-1 you are just missing the lower manifold /collector, otherwise spot on

I had 2000 Civic that lost almost 2L in 2k km, 😳 yeah it was bone dry oil dipstick, I filled it up with regular GTX 5w-30 and magically things went back to normal. So beware, some oils might clean the deposits a bit too well.

This Is actually the first gen 3sge from the st162, and the valve cover has bolts someone has just put the screws in, and you keep going on about the turbo version like it's the same the only thing that is the same is the block head sump and other small things internals are different, intake and exhaust is different valve cover is different

[@speedkar99]

Thanks. I thought it was a later revision since the person I got it from said it was in a 95 Celica

[@jamesbayliss31]

@@speedkar99 yes that would also make sense with the intake, the on big difference with the 1st gen 3sge and 2nd gen is the head

You need an Oral B sponsorship and a tooth brush made specifically made just for you. Brush on one end, engine parts and stuff pointer outer at the other end.

Sure is. 22R is so rare for me to find, it's a frequent request here

To be honest you might not knowing any exact details about how Toyota manufacture this engine. Szó regarding intake manifold complexity, you are just guessing about it , tinkering in your backyard. I wish you less prejudice and more profesionalism!

In that case , sir, please go ahead and enlighten us about how Toyota manufacturers them.

Toyota , prejudice ..... Ammmmmmm . Are you mix matching speedkr and scotty kilmer ?????

[@pliedtka]

Zsotl, speedcar might be one the least Toyota prejudiced people I know of, relax

[@speedkar99]

I am stating my option based on all the engines I've taken apart. Once you take things apart you can get a good sense for how they have been designed and manufactured. Newer engines make better use of space for the intake design and account for design-for-manufacturing techniques that didn't exist in the 80-90s when things were more manual and less focused on productivity.

[@bigniqqa4511]

weird, my qg16de uses little standoffs/mounts for the intake, just like those
