What is Toyota 8A engine? What does 8A mean?

Toyota 8A is an engine specially developed by Toyota for its small cars in 1990s, which is mainly used in some low-end products of Toyota.

8A has good power performance, low fuel consumption and low cost control, and has been very popular since its listing. Known as "1.5 power, 1.0 fuel consumption".

1998 The first batch of Li Jinxia with imported Toyota 8A engines was put into production. In 2000, Toyota and Tianjin Li Xia Automobile Co., Ltd. set up a joint venture factory, and Li Xia, Tianjin, won the first place, and successively put the domestic 8A engine on its own Li Xia 2000, Weizi, Li Xia N3 and other models.

Extended data:

Toyota 8A-FE engine was not advanced at that time. Throttle wiring adopts distributor ignition mode with pure mechanical structure. What variable valve timing, in-cylinder direct injection technology, this kind of engine can't be found at all. That is, the double overhead camshaft is a technology that has been used to this day.

It is durable, with sufficient power and low fuel consumption, but perhaps the most "low-end" mechanical structure makes it durable. The compression ratio of 8A engine is only 9.3, so long-term use of 90 # gasoline will not be a problem.
