J1UR-FE ENGINE
1. Description
The 1UR-FE engine is a 4.6-liter, 32-valve DOHC V8. This engine uses the Dual Variable Valve
Timing-intelligent (Dual VVT-i) system, Direct Ignition System (DIS), Acoustic Control Induction System
(ACIS), Electronic Throttle Control System-intelligent (ETCS-i), air injection system and Exhaust Gas
Recirculation (EGR) control. These control functions achieve improved engine performance, fuel economy,
and clean emissions.
