The Toyota Crown is a Japanese mid-size and full-size luxury sedan car produced by Toyota Motor Corporation since 1955. The car was originally intended for sale in the domestic market. The machine has also been exported to North America and Asian countries. The 15th generation concept car of the model was unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show in the second half of 2017. The launch of its production is planned for 2018. The name of the car comes from the transcription of the Japanese phrase "little crown".

The 2GR engine began to be actively used in 2005 instead of the 3MZ-FE. In the process of refinement in the basic version of the internal combustion engine (ICE), the piston stroke was reduced by 12 mm. The Toyota 2GR engine family is the most common power units... They are installed on cars of various brands of world brands.

The 1JZ series of Toyota engines are straight-cylinder 6-cylinder engines with DOHC gas distribution system with 4 valves per cylinder. The JZ series replaced the M series. The 1JZ engine was offered in two versions - 2.5 liters and 3.0 liters.

The Toyota G series engines are 6-cylinder in-line engines. Their beginning was laid in 1979 and lasted until 2006. A special feature of the G series is the fact that it lacks a variety of engine sizes. All engines have the same cylinder displacement, which is 2 liters (1988 cc). The drive of the gas distribution system of all engines of the series was carried out using a timing belt.

The Toyota 3UZ engine was developed in 2000 specifically to power the third generation of the luxury Japanese Toyota Celsior limousine. Flagship vehicle line toyota sedans with a new engine was produced in Japan from 2000 to 2006 and was intended exclusively for the domestic market.

Toyota's AR engine series began its history relatively recently - the first units appeared in 2008. At the moment, these are popular engines that are respected by drivers. japanese cars mostly in the USA and Canada. Although, some members of the family are spreading around the world.

Toyota's 3GR-FE engine is a 3.0 L (2994 cc) 6-cylinder engine. It was developed to replace the 2JZ series and has been produced in China since 2003. Equipped with a system of variable valve timing Dual VVT-i. The bore is 87.5 mm and the stroke is the same as the 2GR engine and is 83 mm. The compression ratio is 10: 1. Engine power is 228 hp. at 6400 rpm, and a torque of 300 Nm.

The GR series engines were first introduced to the domestic Japanese market in 2003. Over time, they replaced the V-sixes of the previous MZ and VZ series, as well as the legendary inline sixes series G and JZ. In the early 2010s, they were installed on models of a wide variety of classes and layouts - "C", "D", "E", vans, medium and full-size SUVs, medium and heavy jeeps and pickups. Since it is difficult to attribute them to "folk" motors, they are of a certain academic interest only for their diversity.

Toyota crown

Toyota Crown is a full-size business-class sedan, one of the oldest Toyota cars produced. The history of Crown has been going on since 1955 and since then 14 generations of this car have been replaced. The location of this sedan in Toyota's lineup is located just above the Avalon and under the flagship of the Japanese company's passenger car line - Toyota Century. Analogs Toyota Crown and its competitors: Nissan Fuga, Cadillac CTS, Hyundai Grandeur, Buick LaCrosse and other European class E cars.

Toyota Crown engines are a wide range of various installations. In the latest versions, this is mainly the V6 with a displacement of 2.5 liters, 3.0 liters, 3.5 liters, belonging to the GR family. At the same time, the V8 series UR was also installed, with and without a compressor. On 2003 and older Crown models, the 1JZ and 2JZ in-line six-cylinder engines were used. Simpler versions were equipped with a 2-liter 1G engine. In addition to all of the above, other engines were installed on the Toyota Crown, including diesel ones.

The Toyota 1JZ-GE engine was installed on Toyota Crown, Toyota Chaser, Toyota Cresta and Mark 2 (JZX81, JZX90, JZX100, JZX110) cars.
Features. The JZ series are six-cylinder in-line engines ranging from 2.5 to 3 liters. This series replaced the M series in 1990. The 1JZ-GE engine was produced from 1990 to 2007. There are two versions of this motor, with and without VVT-i (until 1996). The characteristics of the engine without VVT-i are a bit more modest - 180 hp. and a torque of 235 Nm. The characteristics with a variable valve timing system are provided in the table below. The 1JZ-GE engine has a timing belt drive, a two-stage intake manifold, i.e. with variable geometry. The ignition system until the 96th year was installed contactless (distributor), since 1996 - the DIS-3 electronic ignition system.
Disadvantages and malfunctions: the presence of a long oil receiver, which slows down the oil supply after starting the engine; the entire oil system is sensitive to the quality and condition of the engine oil; the engine is afraid of moisture (washing the engine under pressure); module throttlerestricting access to the middle spark plugs.
The resource of the Toyota 1JZ-GE engine is about 300 thousand km.

Every 20 thousand km it is necessary to check the valve clearances.

The debut of a new modification of the world famous Japanese toyota brands in 1991 coincided with the start of work on the assembly of the Crown model based on the S140 series hardtop body - Crown Majesta. Translated into Russian, it sounded very solemn - "The Crown of Her Majesty." What car enthusiasts saw was fully consistent with the designers' intention. The car joined the line of luxurious business limousines Cadillac XTC, Audi A8, Hyundai Equus. Despite the external resemblance to base model, in its design it differs significantly from the Crown.

History of creation and production

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

Toyota design team during design new car practically did not depart from the set of know-how applied in the base car of the series - Crown. The only difference is that Majest has a load-bearing body. The magnificent exterior of the new car was a great publicity stunt. Car sales skyrocketed immediately after the show. To have such an executive car has become a rule of good taste.

• 1st generation (1991-1994).

The premier hardtop was produced with two engines:

• three-liter;
• four-liter 1UZ-FE.

In addition to the Crown, the new car was very reminiscent of another Toyota representative - the Celcior, which rolled off the assembly line a little earlier. A year later, the 4WDi-Four all-wheel drive model appeared. By this time, the appearance in the cabin of several revolutionary innovations - a GPS navigation system, electric heated seats, an electronic information front panel, a vehicle stability control system.

• 2nd generation (1995-1998).

After restyling in 1995, it became easier to distinguish Majesta from the base model Crown by taillights new design. The m eight-cylinder engine received the VVT-i system, and "grew" in power from 260 to 265 hp. The approach of the new century was marked by sequestration of expenses for some Toyota models. Crowm Majesta has lost some additional options in various configuration options. In 1996, the Japan Automotive Researchers and Journalists Conference (RJK) recognized it as Car of the Year.

• 3rd generation (1999-2003).

The oval body lines and headlights of the new car remind Russian motorists of the representative Volga of the 31st series. The designers took a lot from the Lexus LS. In the cabin, there are footrests for passengers sitting in the back. The S170 series was referred to in Toyota as high-end executive cars.

• 4th generation (2004-2008).

After the appearance of Lexus in the Japanese market, Toyota abandoned the further release of the Celcior, and Majesta completely got the "representative" laurels. The new series was equipped with a 4.3-liter V8 engine and a VDIM system that included:

• a set of radars;
• cruise control;
• automatic speed control;
• control system.

Four wheel drive car taught me air suspension and a six-speed automatic transmission. An additional turbocharger increased the engine power to 340 hp. In 2006, the car made its debut in China under the Hongqi HQ3 / HQ430 brand.

• 5th generation (2009-2012).

The car debuted in 2009 new series S200. The standard variant was equipped with a 4.6-liter 1UR-FSE engine. The four-wheel drive car was equipped with a motor. A number of 5th generation cars went to China under the name RoyalSaloon VIP. They were equipped with a unique dynamic traffic control and rerouting system, as well as a new dashboard Optitron. The Japanese installed the Pre-Collision System (PCS) safety system on all 6th generation cars produced.

• 6th generation (since 2013).

Among the innovations that the designers have equipped the rear-wheel drive car of the latest S210 series to date are collision avoidance and blind spot monitoring systems while driving. Under the hood is a hybrid power plant consisting of:

• 3.5-liter V6 2GR-FXE engine;
• electric motor.

Maximum total power - 340 HP

Engines for Toyota Crown Majesta

The high status underlines the fact that from the very beginning of the series, the most modern engine brands were used as the basis of the power plant. The entire production period of the Majesta series machines is characterized by a minimum number of engineering experiments with motors - in 27 years, the engine was changed only 6 times.

The engine lineup for Majesta is extremely conservative. In addition to the 2JZ-GE, which was installed on 11 Toyota models, the remaining 6 ICEs "traveled" a little. Basically, these are premium models with powerful power plants... Traditionally, there are no diesels in this list.

The secret of the low applicability of these engines in Toyota cars is very simple. Almost all of them were pilot developments of minders. They used the most "advanced" systems. Naturally, such developments were not created for a warehouse. Most of the engines were massively installed on the overseas Toyota project - lexus car various modifications.

The most popular motor for Crown Majesta cars

More than others, 4.3-liter 3UZ-FE engines were used in various trim levels of this model. These motors left the assembly line of the Tahara Plant in 2000-2014. Compared to its predecessor, 1UZ-FE, the new copy had a larger cylinder diameter (91 mm). The V-shaped cylinder block was made of aluminum.

In general, the motor has undergone significant revision:

• modified gaskets and hardened cylinder head tightening bolts;
• increased diameter of inlet and outlet channels;
• vVTi system installed on intake camshafts;

The engine has a variable intake manifold. The fuel system has received an electronic throttle valve.

As in many other Toyota engines, replacing the timing belt was necessary after 100 thousand km. mileage. Fuel consumption:

• in the city - 13.1 liters;
• out of town - 10.2 liters;
• combined - 11.8 liters.

It was very important for keen motorists that the 3UZ-FE had a tuning resource. The increase in power could be achieved by installing an Eaton M90 compressor. Similarly to 1UZ-FE, additional installation of nodes is performed:

• fuel regulator;
• straight-through exhaust;
• collectors 4-2-1.

The perfect motor choice for the Crown Majesta

One glance at the table of models with similar powerplants is enough to determine the "engine for Majesta". This happened with 1UR-FSE.

This is the most powerful engine of those that went to the machines of the Majesta line. Since 2006, it has been put on a serial conveyor in order to gradually replace the UZ brand motors.

The eight-cylinder V-shaped "monster" received a working volume of 4.6 liters. Its maximum power is 347 hp. Start of assembly - 2006. In addition, in the new century, Toyota engine builders began to carefully introduce the latest fuel system... The 1UR-FSE engine was one of the first production examples to be installed on it. Her systems included:

• d4-S direct fuel injection system;
• variable valve timing system VVT-iE on the intake manifold.

In comparison with the UZ line, timing chain drives began to be installed on the new motors. This is because the chain must provide higher torque for massive (6.5mm larger diameter) cylinders. Over the years of operation of the motor, one relatively frequent drawback of this unit was revealed - the weakening of the timing chain tension. Otherwise, the mechanism proved to be very simple and reliable.

By the beginning of the new century, Toyota mechanics could not get rid of the "minuses" traditional for any modifications:

• oil waste;
• low pump life (up to 100 thousand km).

Fuel consumption:

• in the city - 16.5 liters;
• outside the city - 7.9 liters.
• combined - 11.1 liters.

The motor had a stable pre-repair resource of 300 thousand km.
