Toyota 1UZ-FE Engine Specifications

The Toyota 1UZ-FE is a 4.0 L (3,968 cc, 242.1 cubic inches) V8, four-stroke cycle water-cooled naturally aspirated internal combustion gasoline engine, manufactured by the Toyota Motor Corporation since 1989 to 2004. The engine has 8 cylinders in a V-arrangement at a bank angle of 90°. The 1UZ-FE features aluminum cylinder block with a five-bearings crankshaft and two aluminum heads with two camshafts (DOHC) and four valves per cylinder (32 in total). Until 1994 the Toyota 1UZ-FE engine is equipped with Multi-port fuel injection (MFI) system, and after 1994 it used Sequential multi-point fuel injection (SFI). The latest engine versions (after 1997) were equipped with a VVTi (Variable Valve Timing) system for the intake camshafts. Cylinder bore and piston stroke are 87.5 mm (3.44 in) and 82.5 mm (3.25 in), respectively. Compression ratio rating is 10.0:1 (1989-1994), 10.4:1 (1994-1997) and 10.5:1 (after 1997). The Toyota 1UZ-FE engine produced from 259 PS (191 kW; 256 HP) at 5,400 rpm to 300 PS (221 kW; 296 HP) at 6,000 rpm of maximum power and from 333 Nm (34 kgm, 245.4 ft-lb) at 4,000 rpm to 420 Nm (42.8 kgm, 309.5 ft-lb) at 4,600 rpm of peak torque depending on year and vehicle model.

CYLINDER BLOCK

The 1UZ–FE engine has 8-cylinders in a V-arrangement at arrangement at a bank angle of 90°. The cylinder block made of aluminum alloy. Cast-iron cylinders are installed inside the cylinder block. This engine’s ignition order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. The crankshaft is supported by five bearings inside the crankcase, these bearings are made of a copper and lead alloy. The crankshaft is integrated with 8 weights for balance.

Pistons are made of high-temperature resistant aluminum alloy, and depression is built into the pistons head to prevent interference with the valves. Piston pins are full-floating. Each piston is fitted with two compression and single oil ring. The top compression ring is made of steel and the second ring is made of the cast-iron, the oil ring is made of a combination of steel and stainless steel.

The cylinder bore is 87.5 mm (3.44 in) and the piston stroke is 82.5 mm (3.25 in). Compression ratio rating is 10.5:1, 10.4:1 or 10:1.

CYLINDER HEAD

The cylinder heads are made of aluminum alloy, with a cross-flow type intake and exhaust layout and with pentroof type combustion chambers. The spark plugs are located in the center of the combustion chamber. The 1UZ-FE engine has dual overhead camshafts design (DOHC) with four valves per cylinder (32 valves in total). The intake camshafts are driven by the timing belt, and a gear on the intake camshaft engages with a gear on the exhaust camshaft to drive it. Since 1997, the engine began to use the VVTi (Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) system.

The first generation of the 1UZ-FE engine did not have variable valve timing and its intake duration was 224° and exhaust duration was 229°. In 1994, valve timing and valve lift for the intake valves were modified: valve overlap increased to 9°, intake duration to 232° and exhaust duration to 229°. From 1997, the 1UZ-FE engine was fitted with the VVT-i system. As a result, intake valve overlap ranged from -11 to 39°, intake valves duration was 230° and exhaust duration was 229°.
