About this engine family

The Toyota S Series engines are a family of straight-four petrol engines with displacements between 1.8 and 2.2 litres, produced by Toyota Motor Corporation from January 1980 to August 2007. The S series has cast iron engine blocks and aluminium cylinder heads. This engine was designed around the new LASRE technology for lighter weight – such as sintered hollow camshafts.

In detail

The 1S is the first version of the S-series engine. It is a member of Toyota's Lasre engine family (Lightweight Advanced Super Response Engine). Bore and stroke are 80.5 x 90.0 mm. The engine was first seen in 1981, and was fitted to a wide range of Toyotas, in both RWD and FWD applications. Original 1S engine, designed for longitudinal, rear-wheel-drive applications. Designated 1S-U with Japanese emissions controls.

Production: June 1981 — June 1988 Displacement: 1832 cc Mounting: longitudinal Type: SOHC 8-valve Bore/stroke: 80.5 × 89.9 mm Compression ratio: 9.1 Outputs: at 5,400 rpm / at 3,400 rpm Applications: Toyota Celica (SA60) Toyota Carina (SA60) Toyota Corona (ST140) Toyota Mark II (SX70) Adaption of the 1S engine, designed for transverse, front-wheel-drive applications. Designated 1S-LU with Japanese emissions controls.

Production: March 1982 — August 1983 Displacement: 1832 cc Mounting: transverse Type: SOHC 8-valve Bore/stroke: 80.5 × 89.9 mm Compression ratio: 9.1 Outputs: at 5,400 rpm / at 3,400 rpm Applications: Toyota Camry/Vista (SV10) Toyota Corona (ST150) Adaption of the 1S-L engine, with added central injection (Ci). Designated 1S-iLU with Japanese emissions controls. Later versions renamed 1S-i. Sometimes labelled 1S-Ci in marketing material.

Production: September 1983 — April 1988 Displacement: 1832 cc Mounting: transverse Type: SOHC 8-valve, central injection Bore/stroke: 80.5 × 89.9 mm Compression ratio: 9.1 Outputs: at 5,200 rpm / at 3,000 rpm at 5,400 rpm / at 3,000 rpm at 5,400 rpm / at 3,000 rpm Applications: Toyota Camry/Vista (SV10) Toyota Camry/Vista (SV20) Toyota Corona (ST150) Adaption of the 1S-L engine, with added multiport fuel injection.

Designated 1S-ELU with Japanese emissions controls. Production: September 1983 — April 1988 Displacement: 1832 cc Mounting: transverse Type: SOHC 8-valve, multipoint fuel injection Bore/stroke: 80.5 × 89.9 mm Compression ratio: 9.1 Outputs: at 5,400 rpm / at 4000 rpm Applications: Toyota Corona (ST150) The 2S is a four-cylinder engine with an iron block and an alloy head. Bore and stroke are 84.0 x 90.0 mm.

This was to be the last of the S engine family not to be equipped with double overhead camshafts. The 2S (with no extra letters at the end) is carburetted. The 2S-C is the same as the 2S except it has US emissions controls. It was used in the Australian delivered SA63 Celica (replacing the 21R-C powered RA60), and ST141 Corona. The 2S-E is the same as the 2S except it uses EFI. This particular engine was used in the Camry and in the Celica ST161.

It was fitted with hydraulic lash adjusters. The 2S-EL, 2S-ELU and 2S-ELC are the same as the 2S-E except they are transversely mounted (as fitted to the V10 Camry). The 2S-ELU has Japanese emission controls and the 2S-ELC has US emission controls. The 3S is a inline-four engine with an iron block and an alloy head. Similar to the 2S engine, the bore was increased to 86.0 mm and the stroke was reduced to 86.0 mm, allowing for the fitment of larger valves and enabling higher power outputs.

First introduced in May 1984, the 3S remained in production until 2007. Two-barrel carburettor version of the 3S-FE. This engine is found in lower-specification variants of the 1986–1992 Toyota Camry and its Holden Apollo twin (SL and SLX versions). Power is at 5,600 rpm, with max torque of at 3,200 rpm. The Toyota 3S-FE is a 16-valve 2.0 L twin camshaft, single cam gear engine built by Toyota from 1986 to 2000.

European version produces at 7,900 rpm and 179 Nm (132 ft-lb) at 4,400 rpm without a catalytic converter;, maximum power is .
