  • In this video we teardown a Toyota 3S-GE engine from a Toyota Celica to see what’s inside and how it works. These old-school S- series engines from Toyota are renowned for their reliably as well as power output from their era. The 3S version is a 2.0L inline 4 cylinder, and the GE designates that the internals are beefed up and strongly built with forged internals, especially so since it also had a turbocharged option.
    The 3S-GE engine features a bit of old and new technology, with fuel injection yet still using a distributor for ignition. Many vacuum hoses and switches wrap around the intake forming the control for Toyota’s variable intake system, with each valve having its own runner. The head and valve covers are aluminum alloy while the block is cast iron. Overall many components feel overbuilt for a small economy minded engine used in the Toyota Celica and MR-2 from the mid 80’s to early 2000’s.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

      Some oils are better at concealing the crank seal leaks, eg Castrol, Liqui Moly. My old Honda leaks like crazy with Pennzoil, CT, but it's manageable with Castrol. I have no idea if it's the additive package or slightly higher viscosity. Also every time one of our costumers used CT brand Synthetic in well used engine, it started to leak via the crank seals. 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.
