    Default Toyota 4A-E?

    Does anyone have the specs on this engine? I think I might have stumbled onto something very very odd...

    Fuel injected right? That's what the E stands for...
    But I'm starring right at this thing, and its got a carb on it...

    What's the valve count?

    4A-E is fuel injected.

    I'm guessing that engine is not 4a-E but its 4a-F. i belive the F one was the Carburetor one

    No it definitely says 4A-E on it, that's why I'm saying this is really weird, its also in an AE86, so it should be a C... Any thoughts on this?

    On a side note, would a 2T carb fit on a 4A?

    Yes. Are you sure it's a carb and not a throttle body? -E should be SOHC EFI naturally aspirated.

    Explanation of Codes

    Double checked to make sure too, if the engine block code is 4A-E then someone's done a carb swap on it.

    I am completely certain its a carb, but yeah I'm at a loss at how to attack this issue.
    The carb's gone bad, suspect bad springs, but if its the wrong block, I'm going to have my hands full with the tuning.

    It's not impossible that someone swapped it to a carb. What CAR did it come out of, that might help.

    It's currently in an SR5 AE86, I'm pretty sure this is the carb off the stock 4A-C, but don't know why anyone would swap to an E that makes less power without also swapping to fuel injection...

    Ok, back from the dead, found out its a imported block from an Australian AE82. (Shit!) Originally FI FWD, carb slapped on, bolted on to god knows what kind of transmission...

    Anyone want to buy a frankenstein hachi? lol
