Which models use the Toyota 8A engine?
1 Answers
Models equipped with the Toyota 8A engine include the Xiali 2000, Xiali N3, and Vizi. These are all early Toyota models that have been discontinued. The Toyota 8A engine was not only used in Toyota models but was also available for external purchase. At the time, Geely also procured the 8A engine for its models, such as the Geely HQ. The Toyota 8A engine has a displacement of 1342ml, with a maximum power output of 63kW and a maximum torque of 110Nm. Structurally, it features a 16-valve DOHC (double overhead camshaft) design, a compression ratio of 9.3, and a power output per liter of 47kW. The ignition system uses a relatively outdated distributor ignition, which, being a mechanical structure, lacks precision in ignition timing control. The Toyota 8A engine is equipped with a three-way catalytic converter, and its exhaust emissions meet the Euro II standard. Due to the engine's relatively low compression ratio, it can run on 90-octane gasoline for extended periods, though using 93-octane gasoline can improve fuel efficiency and enhance performance.
