The Toyota 1ZR is a 1.6-liter engine produced since 2007 and designed for models such as the Toyota Corolla, Toyota Auris, Toyota Avensis, Toyota Verso and Lotus Elise. Engines 1ZR-FE and 1ZR-FAE are distinguished by high reliability and economy, as well as power variations from 120 to 132 hp, which depend on the modification and type of engine management system.

Faults and repair of the engine 1ZR-FE/FAE
These motors were presented to the public in 2007 and were considered as a successor to the unsuccessful ZZ series. The family consisted of the 1.6 liter 1ZR, 1.8 liter. 2ZR, 2.0L. 3ZR, as well as Chinese 4ZR, 1.6 liter and 5ZR 1.8 liter. Consider the youngest representative of the main lineup – 1ZR, this engine was designed to replace the 3ZZ motor. In the new 1ZR, to reduce loads on the liner, the axis of the cylinders does not intersect with the axis of the crankshaft, was used Dual VVT-i, simply put, the system of changing the phases of gas distribution on the intake and exhaust shafts, along with the same system Valvematic, changing the valve lift (range 0.9 – 10.9 mm), there are hydrocompensators and now the adjustment of valves on the 1ZR you are not threatened. According to the new Toyota tradition, the ZR engine is disposable, in an aluminum block, without repair dimensions, with all the consequences.
Toyota 1ZR engine modifications
- 1ZR-FE – the main engine, equipped with dual VVTi, compression ratio 10.2, power 124 hp. This motor komoklektovali Toyota Corolla and Toyota Auris.
- 1ZR-FAE – analog of 1ZR-FE, but together with Dual-VVTi, Valvematic is used, compression ratio is increased to 10.7, engine power is 132 hp
Faults, problems 1ZR and their causes
- High oil consumption. The problem is typical for the first ZR models, it is solved by pouring oil with viscosity W30, instead of 0W-20, 5W-20. If the mileage is serious, then measure the compression.
- The engine knocking 1ZR. Noise at medium rpm? Change the tensioner of the timing chain. In addition, the alternator drive belt can also make noise (whistle), change it.
- Problems with idling. Floating and other troubles are provoked by the throttle position sensor and dirty throttle itself.
In addition, the pump on 1ZR likes to leak, make noise and ask for the dump after 50-70 thousand kilometers, the thermostat often dies and the engine refuses to warm up to operating temperature, the VVTi valve may jam with subsequent dullness of the car and loss of power. Nevertheless, these problems are not common, the engine 1ZR turned out to be not bad, with a normal resource (+\- 250 thousand km) and with stable maintenance, the owner has no problems.
Tuning engine Toyota 1ZR-FE/FAE
Turbine on 1ZR
In free sale there are turbo kits for 1ZR, for quite reasonable money, based on 28th Garrett, with a full set: turbine, intercooler, manifold, all piping, blouoff, 440/500cc injectors, cold air intake, all filters, walbro 255 pump. You only need to buy it, put it on, add exhaust on 2.5″ pipe and tune it, for example on Greddy E-manage. Such configurations give 250-300 hp. But for the motor to drive without problems, you need to change the forging for a forging under the compression ratio of 8.5-9 or blow into the standard piston no more than 0.5 bar.
Similar things can be realized on 2ZR/3ZR engines. Worried about the resource, this procedure is strictly contraindicated.
