Initially belt-driven OHC non-interference engines , multivalve DOHC and variable valve timing were added later during the production run. The 1G-GEU was Toyota's first mass produced four-valve twincam engine. A prototype version of the 1G-GEU called the LASREα–X, featuring twin-turbos, variable valve timing and intake as well as variable displacement, was fitted to the Toyota FX-1 show car at the 1983 Tokyo Motor Show. It showcased a number of technologies which were later to become commonplace. This engine was designed around the new LASRE technology for lighter weight – such as sintered hollow camshafts. These engines were used as a lower-displacement alternative to the more upmarket M family and JZ family straight-sixes....
