The 1G-GE is equipped with an electronic fuel injection system. Cylinder bore and piston stroke are 75.0 mm (2.95 in) and 75.0 mm (2.95 in), respectively. The Compression ratio rating is 9.5:1.
This engine produced 140 PS (103 KW; 138 HP) at 6,000 rpm or 150 PS (110 KW; 147 HP) at 6,000 rpm of maximum horsepower and from 173 Nm (17.6 kg·m; 127.7 ft·lb) at 4,000 rpm to 182 Nm (18.6 kg·m; 134.3 ft·lb) at 5,600 rpm of peak torque.
The breakdown of the engine code is as follows:
- 1 – 1 generation engine
- G – Engine family
- G – Performance wide-angle DOHC

Cylinder block
The Toyota 1G-GE engine has a cast-iron cylinder block, bore is 75.0 mm (2.95 in) and the piston stroke is 75.0 mm (2.95 in). The cylinder block, a monoblock specially cast structure, employs the seven bearing support system. The crankshaft has seven journals.
The pistons are aluminum casting. Each piston is fitted with two compression rings and a single oil ring. The compression ratio rating is 9.5:1.

Cylinder head
The cylinder head is made of a light, strong aluminum alloy with good cooling efficiency. The 1G-GE engine has double camshafts (DOHC) and four valves per cylinder (24 valves in total). The 1G-GE motor does not have hydraulic lifters, so special valve lifters are used to adjust the valve clearance.

Valve clearance adjustment data
Calculate the thickness of the new adjusting valve lifter so valve clearance comes within specified values.
R = Thickness of removed valve lifter
N = Thickness of new valve lifter
M = Measured valve clearance
Intake:
N = R + [M – 0.20 mm (0.008 in)]
Exhaust:
N = R + [M – 0.25 mm (0.010 in)]
For 1G-GE engine valve lifters are available in 27 sizes to range from 2.00 mm (0.0787 in) to 3.30 mm (0.1299 in), in steps of 0.05 mm (0.0019 in).
