Hi,
The following text is from the toysports (TRD) site:-
++++++++++++++++++++
The ultimate versions of both the 2TG and 18RG were made by TRD- they were known as the 151E and 152E respectively and came with 16 valve heads, both were available in carburetor (50mm Mikunis) and fuel injection (mechanical Denso) models. There was also a 150E 16-valve version of the 3K / 4K engines. These 16 valve heads were the forerunners of today's 4AG, 3SG, 7MG, and 2JZG engines. These were race only non-production heads, with heavily modified blocks. The 152E race engine was used for US Toyota's early back-to-back victories in desert/stadium racing and IMSA GTU events. The 152E was used in Europe for the FIA World Rally Cup series.
The most famous and successful Toyota Race engine- the 503E was used in Toyota's Triumphant Championship seasons in IMSA GTO / GTP, Pikes Peak, Le Mans, and in the mid-90s Japan Touring Cup Championship. It is important to note that the 16 valve cylinder head layout from the 152E engine and the T block crankshaft saddle design were used as design base for this ultimate Toyota 4 cylinder Turbocharged race engine. The 503E represented the most powerful 4 cylinders in competition history developing over 1000HP in qualifying tune, 800HP for sprint races, and 600 for endurance events. IMPRESSIVE.
++++++++++++++++++++++
So, I guess you're right about the 152E being the ultimate of the "recognisable" 18RG series. But, then again, the 503E was the next advance on top of that, borrowing from the previous (152E and T block crankshaft) engines. I dunno where you'd draw the line, but I do know that if I had a 503E engine in my car I would prolly spoil my pants each time I plant my foot.
