Toyota 5M-GE specs: 2.8L (168.4 ci) 6-cylinder, 83 x 85 mm (3.2677 x 3.3465 in) bore and stroke. Rated 145-161 hp, 1982–1986. Used in the Toyota Supra. SOHC.
The Toyota 5M-GE is close to square: 3.2677" bore against 3.3465" stroke, within 2.4%, which splits the difference between a high-revving layout and a torque layout. The 3.3465" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,150 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 6 cylinders displaces 28.1 ci (460 cc).
It is one of 6 engines in the M family, the smallest at 168.4 ci. 5 factory variants share these dimensions, rated from 145 to 161 hp across 1982–1986.
