20V Silvertop

AE101 (AE101 20V Silvertop) is Toyota's TRD Group A engine (inspired by the 16V 4A-GE), a version of 4AGEU. In the manga, Bunta Fujiwara references purchasing a dry sump oil system for this car prior to the swap and strangely enough came with carburetors.


 * Engine Type: Group A
 * Model: AE101 4A-GELU
 * Layout: FR
 * Displacement: 1597 cc (97.3 cu in)
 * Horsepower: 245 PS
 * Transmission: TRD Crossed 5 w/ 5.375(Second and Third Stage) and Crossed 3 w/ 4.778(First and Fourth Stage)
 * Due to their durability, performance, and relatively low cost, the 4A-GE and 4A-GZE engines and their derivatives have been popular with both professional and amateur racing since their introduction. The most notable application of the 4A-GE in racing was as in the Formula Atlantic series, where in the full race setting the engine will produce 180 kW (242 hp; 245 PS) at 10,000 rpm.￼

Real-life counterpart
The real life example of the engine is a TRD group A silvertop 4AGE powered AE86 Corolla Levin, owned by Akira Iida, famous Japanese racer and 1995 24 hours of Le Mans GT2 winner. The engine was de-tuned from a 11,000 RPM redline to 9,000 for engine preservation and drive-ability on the street.

The engine was not available to the public unlike the Formula Atlantic counterparts.
