New flagship 1.8 liter powerplant for Toyota
The upcoming replacement for the Toyota Corolla Altis here in Malaysia might see the introduction of a CVT transmission, thanks to a new pair of engine and transmission announced last month by Toyota as part of it’s efforts to revamp it’s gasoline engine and transmission line-up by the year 2010.
The new engine is the 1.8 liter 2ZR-FE, which replaces the 1ZZ-FE in Toyota’s line-up. The 2ZR-FE has a few enhancements over the 1ZZ-FE found in our current Toyota Corolla Altis. For one, the new 2ZR-FE has Dual VVT-i which varies valve timing optimally for various engine speeds and loads on both the intake and exhaust valves. The previous 1ZZ-FE only has variable valve timing on the exhaust valves. Maximum torque has increased from 170Nm at 4,200 rpm to 175Nm at 4,400 rpm. Horsepower has increased from 132hp at 6,000 rpm to 136hp at 6,600 rpm. Fuel efficiency is supposed to be 5% higher compared to conventional engines.
| 2ZR-FE (New) | 1ZZ-FE (Old) | |
| Displacement | 1,797cc | 1,794cc |
| Bore | 80.5mm | 79.0mm |
| Stroke | 88.3mm | 91.5mm |
| Compression Ratio | 10.0:1 | 10.0:1 |
| Weight | 97 | 96 |
Note that our local Toyota Corolla Altis actually has abit more power and torque than the Japanese specifications thanks to differences like an increased compression ratio of 10.5:1 instead of 10.0:1. Our Toyota Corolla Altis 1ZZ-FE engine makes 136hp and 171Nm of torque, slightly higher than it’s Japanese counterpart.

Sorry i am not an expert in engine type. But VW’s TSI Engine sounds much better to me then this one from toyota

paul, i think the 1zzFe has its VTC on the intake cam, not exhaust. its more common to have VTC on the intake cam rather than exhaust cam anyway.
from the photo above, u can see a big lump of cylinder on the intake cam, the right side with the black intake manifold. thats the VTC gearbox/actuator module.
for reference

toyota press release says the 1zzfe had vvti on the exhaust valves. the photos above is of the new 2zrfe engine, not the 1zzfe.
is there anyone here with better toyota technical know-how to clear things up?

found a picture from AW. even in the altis msian website, the first sentence the video said was “VVTi continously adjust the intake valves timing… ”
toyota could have somehow translated wrongly on this 1….

Maybe Toyota sould have a turbocharged or supercharger engine in their new Altis line up for 2008. At least a sport version of Altis……

[...] The Toyota Auris takes on similiar design cues to the Toyota Yaris hatch, with a pronounced bulgy bonnet, a familiar front grille and bold headlamps. The bumper looks similiar to the design of the facelifted Toyota Vios. Engine options will feature Toyota’s new flagship 1.8 liter unit, as well as a 2.2 liter D4-D turbodiesel. [...]

[...] There are two engine variants – a lower-end 2NZ-FE 1.5 liter VVT-i putting out 110PS at 6,000rpm and 140Nm of torque at 4,400rpm, similiar to the Toyota Vios. The higher-end model comes with the new 2ZR-FE Dual-VVTi engine, with 1.8 liters of displacement producing 136PS at 6,000rpm and 175Nm of torque at 4,400rpm. Compared to Honda’s current flagship 1.8 liter the R18A1, Toyota’s new engine beats it by 1Nm of peak torque, but loses in terms of horsepower, which is pretty amazing for Honda since the Honda unit is a SOHC while this new Toyota is a DOHC unit. Honda’s torque also peaks 100rpm lower than the Toyota unit. And these figures are for the 2WD models that come in either a Super CVT-i continuously variable transmission or a 5-speed manual. As for the 4WD Super-CVT-i units, for some reason oblivious to me right now the 1.5 liter makes less power at 105PS, and the 1.8 liter only makes 125PS. Torque figures are 135Nm at 4,400rpm and 163Nm at 4,400rpm respectively. While the worth of a car is not to be measured by it’s engine alone, Honda seems to have a slight edge on engine technology here. But the new JDM Corolla is packed with nice features which you will read about further down. [...]

[...] You’ll also find Toyota’s new flagship 1.8 liter Dual VVT-i engine under the hood. A comparison with the previous generation 1.8 liter VVT-i can be found here. Although the new 2ZR-FE comes with a new CVT gearbox option, the Corolla for the Chinese market will come with either a 4-speed auto or a 6-speed manual. The previous Corolla only had a 5-speed manual, while the auto was also a 4-speed. A pity, the Civic has moved on to a 5-speed auto with two overdrive gears. [...]

The 2ZR FE block is from the same aluminium alloy as the block of the 1ZZ FE?
