1985 Toyota Corolla 1 6 Engine Specifications
The 1985 Toyota Corolla was part of the fifth generation of the vehicle. The cars had 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 engines available. The 1.6 was first sold only in Japan and Europe, but made its way into the U.S. market during the year.
Engine Basics
The 1.6-liter engine was used in the Corolla Coupe, and was considered somewhat of a sporty engine, from 1983 through 1987. It was a 96.9-cubic-inch, four-cylinder engine, mounted sideways in the car. The 1.6 had a bore and stroke of 3.19 and 3.03 inches. The bore and stroke relate to the size of the piston and the distance it travels.
Power
The 1.6 engine had a compression ratio of 10-1, which is defined by how much the fuel and air mixture is compressed before ignition. This has a lot to do with how much power an engine produces. The 1.6 in the Corolla had 122 horsepower and 105 pound-feet of torque, which is pulling power.
Performance
The 1.6 engine was slightly larger than most Corolla engines, and it performed a little better as well. It could go from zero to 60 miles per hour in eight seconds, which was good for a Corolla, a car not known for acceleration in its early years. It had a top speed of 122 mph. The cars gas mileage was 26.4 miles per gallon in the city and 31.7 mpg on the highway.
