3sgte, 5sfte, 7afte ... n00b question, what do these mean?? Options

[djultimate]

i'm confused. It's probably engine type right? *shrugs*

[WannabeGT4]

3 Block "Series"
S Block Type
G Head Type
T Turbo Charged
E Electronic Fuel Injection

4 Block "Series"
A Block Type
G Head Type
Z Super Charged
E Electronic Fuel Injection

3SGTE and 4AGZE are both legitimate names given to those engines by Toyota.

5SFTE, 7AFTE, 3SFTE, 4AFTE, 4AGTE are all ficticious names we as a community have given the NA engines that have been turbo'd.

Other examples of ficticios names:
5SGTE which would be a 5SFE block with a 3SGTE head. Take away the T and you'd have the 5SGE, which would be a 5SFE block with a 3SGE head.
One that you may have seen on this forum recently would be Nik's 7AGTE... 7AFE block 4AGZE head that has been turbo'd instead of super charged.
