Engine/Car Codes

[Mike]

Spawned from the e30 discussion, I'm going to put together a list of engine and chassis codes. Post up what you know and I'll add it to this first post to make it pretty. My Honda codes aren't exact (there are some 92-95 EJ Civics, etc), but if you're talking to an enthusiast, this would work.

I think I covered it all. Might be some weird one-offs in there, And i didn't cover the "N" motors, which are basically updates of any "M" motor. Engines also have multiple displacements, especially in Europe. A 2.7 Liter M20 would be a "M20B27".

[ScottyB]

cool idea, i'll add to it later. also i like having the cylinder count as litres can be misleading.

[Dave]

updated my thread with new info from you guys

[bassmangrammy]

M62: 32V DOHC 4.0 8 piston, later 540, 740, etc.

4.4L :twisted:

[CaptainHenreh]

M62: 32V DOHC 4.0 8 piston, later 540, 740, etc.

4.4L :twisted:

You're right, of course. I meant to put 4.4, although they ranged in displacement from 3.5 to 4.9, the M62 never came in 4.0, unlike the M60. I was in a hurry.

[KPWSerpiente]

Guide to a few Mitsu Engines:

Numerical Prefix (cylinder count):
4 = four cylinder
6 = six cylinder

Letter:
G = gasoline
D = diesel
A = alloy cylinder head

Numerical Suffix (engine series/series):

4G11 = 1244cc
4G12 = 2.0 liter
4G13 = 2.5 liter
4G36 = 2.0 liter
4G54 = 2.6 liter
4G61 = 1.6 liter turbo Colt
4G62 = 1.85 liter
4G63 = 2.0 liter 1st Gen DSM/2nd Gen Turbo DSM/Evo1-9/GalantVR4
4G64 = 2.4 liter
6G72 = 3.0 liter Turbo 3000GT/Stealth
4G73 = 2.5 liter
6G74 = 3.5 liter
4G91 = 1.5 liter
4G92 = 1.6 liter
4G93 = 1.8 liter
6A12 = 2.0 liter FTO
6A13 = 2.5 liter late generation GalantVR4

[Dave]

So, does anybody have any more to add to this?

Any way we can make it a sticky? I look for it all the time and searching is annoying :-).

[WRXtranceformed]

Man I'd add all of the Subaru engine codes but I'm way too lazy to look em all up :lol:

[Roxtar]

how to read a toyota code:

first number - generation in series
letters before the dash - series

after the dash:
e - electronic fuel injected
f - economy valve train
g - performance valve train
s - direct injection
t - turbocharged
z - supercharged

so the 7M-GTE is the 7th engine in the M series, and is equipped with a wide angle, performance valve train, a turbocharger, and electronic fuel injection. the 1ZZ-FE is the first of the ZZ series and is equipped with a narrow angle, economy valve train, and electronic fuel injection.

[balactm]

the 4age also used in the 1st gen mr2. also, the mr2 chassis codes are as follows: Mk1 - AW-11, MK2 - SW20, MK3 - ZZW30 with a 1ZZ-FE engine code. also, there was a 3S-GE in the late jdm Rav 4's.
