The new 1GR-FE is the second-generation version (Dual VVT-i) of Toyota’s GR series 4.0L V6 naturally aspirated gasoline engine, introduced in 2009 and first installed in models such as the Land Cruiser Prado 150, 4Runner, and FJ Cruiser.
It represents a comprehensive upgrade over the 2002–2009 model (single VVT-i), featuring the addition of exhaust-side VVT-i, an optimized piston shape that increases the compression ratio to 10.4:1, an improved crankshaft (with five counterweights), optimized cylinder liner honing patterns to reduce friction, the addition of water jacket baffles to improve cooling uniformity, and the inclusion of hydraulic lifters and roller rocker arms.
New Model (Dual VVT-i) Features:
Technical Upgrade: Upgraded from the older model’s single VVT-i to dual VVT-i (Dual VVT-i, with continuous variable valve timing systems on both intake and exhaust valves).
Structural Changes: To accommodate the Dual VVT-i system, the internal oil passage layout of the cylinder block, the cylinder head mating surface design, the roller rocker arm structure, and the compression ratio (increased from 10.0:1 in the previous model to 10.4:1) have all been fine-tuned and optimized. Consequently, the new Dual VVT-i cylinder block is not interchangeable with the previous Single VVT-i cylinder block
