1GR-FE VS 5Z-FE

[vvilly]

Hey all ive wikied info on both engines but hasnt been much help.

I previously owned a 2003 doublecab with the 5z-fe, but looking at a later model surf than my current kzn185.

obviously the 1gr is more powerful. More torque. And a pretty reliable engine. But what are they like on fuel as my 5z drunk more than me down the l8cal on friday night???


Anyones input welcome



thanks jase

the 1g(in the Aurion) platform has a good reputation for being remarkably thrifty on fuel for an engine of that size and power. I think they suck a bit more when in the Estima(heavier/less aerodynamic) platform.

So it willbe the same in the surf then

I think any petrol engine in a large and/or non aero dynamic vehicle will have a drinking problem, that's why diesels are a popular choice and hold their value better.

I suspect there will 1-2 l/100km difference between the engines with the 1GR using less fuel.

Hey man. I have a 1GR-FE in my FJ, as far as fuel consumption goes i get abou12.4-13.6/100 on the highway. My old diesel isuzu wizard got about 11.4-12 and i considered that to be economical. Depends what the application is and how you drive it.
