G16E-GTS

The G16E-GTS is a turbocharged engine model with 10.5:1 compression ratio and D-4ST direct/port injection system with multi-oil jet piston cooling, large-diameter exhaust valves and a part-machined intake port. The turbo boost is set between 1.4and. With the engine producing up to 2240NaN0 (which comes out to NaNkW per litre), it makes the engine as one of the most powerful three-cylinder automobile engines ever produced.[2] The engine also has the highest specific output of any Toyota road car engine, exceeding the NaN0NaN0 per litre specific output from the 191abbr=onNaNabbr=on 2.0-litre 3S-GTE engine used in the ST246 Caldina GT-Four.[2]

Applications:

Hydrogen version

In 2021, Toyota modified the G16E-GTS engine to run exclusively on hydrogen fuel. The modified engine ran in the 2021–2022 Super Taikyu series.[3] Toyota has tried to establish hydrogen as a zero-emission fuel alternative to petrol in motorsport and for daily use. In 2023, Toyota showcased its Corolla Cross H2 concept vehicle which used the hydrogen-fueled G16E-GTS engine.[4]

Others

A de-stroked variation of the G16E-GTS engine with a displacement of 1.4L, which is compatible with synthetic fuel, is used by the GR86 for the 2022 Super Taikyu series. The stroke was reduced from .[5]
