The manufacturer created the Toyota Corolla as a compact car, taking into account modern technologies, so the engine should be lightweight and powerful. In total, several power units of different models and capacities were installed on the car. These were both diesel and gasoline engines. Half were collected in Europe, the other half in Turkey. Some engine modifications for the Corolla were also manufactured in Russia.
Let's see what kind of motors they were and what characteristics they had.
Engine Toyota Corolla 1.6 1ZR FE
The Toyota Corolla 1.6 1ZR FE engine can be called the most popular and successful. This engine contains 4 cylinders, 16 valves, and a timing chain drive, which virtually eliminates problems with it.
The engine resource is quite long.
It will pass the first 200 thousand without any intervention, the main thing is to ensure that the oil consumption is not too high, change fluids on time (preferably after 10–15 thousand mileage) and fill in high-quality fuel, since the 1.6 1ZR FE engine is quite sensitive to impurities in gasoline.
Body
The exterior is similar to its predecessor, but in many ways has acquired rounded shapes. There are fewer body parts; they were simply connected, which reduced the cost of production and adjustment of gaps. They moved away from glass headlights towards polycarbonate.
The style of all bodies is largely similar, which makes body elements interchangeable. The metal elements are double galvanized, which causes problems with paintwork, but rust does not reach the metal even after so many years. Rust can find its way into hatchback tailgate hinges due to worn seals that allow water to leak through.
Thanks to fewer body elements and galvanization, body rigidity has greatly increased, affecting handling. The only thing is the thin metal of the bottom of the Corolla E100, which can be broken through by a curb.
Body sizes
The cars turned out to be largely identical, for example, the height is 1379 mm everywhere, the width is 1679 mm, and the wheelbase is 2461 mm. The coupe and hardtop sedan will differ, which we will discuss separately.
Models length:
- sedan – 427 cm;
- hatchbacks – 410 cm;
- station wagon – 430 cm;
- liftback – 430 cm.
The wheelbase of the coupe and hardtop sedan is more than 4 mm, the lower cars are 1305 mm and 16 mm wider. The length of the Levin coupe is 4275 mm, the hardtop sedan is 4365 mm.
How does this motor work?
The engine for the Toyota Corolla 1.6 1ZR FE is found in the E160 and E150 body styles, it was developed taking into account previous experience and created using advanced technologies. The gas distribution has a VVTI system, thanks to which the power supply is of the highest quality. In addition, the electronics control the lifting of the valves and the flow of air into the system, which makes the unit operate more efficiently.
1.6 VVT is equipped with two camshafts at once, the valve arrangement is V-shaped. There are hydraulic compensators, so valve adjustment is not required. It is necessary to monitor the quality of the oil; it is advisable to fill it with the original substance. If you do not do this, the hydraulic compensators fail; you can find out about this if there is a knocking sound in the engine.
Engine 2E and its modifications
Engine 2E.
2E, 2E-LU
2E is a 1.3-liter carburetor engine with a 12-valve single-shaft timing belt (SOHC) producing 65 hp. (48 kW) at 6000 rpm (modification 1984), 74 hp (55 kW) at 6200 rpm (modification 1985), 82 hp. (61 kW) at 6000 rpm (modification 1985).
From 1986 to 1990, a carburetor modification 2E was also produced: 2E-LU, with a power of 66 hp. (49 kW) at 6000 rpm.
2E-E
2EE - injection version of 2E with 81 hp. (60 kW) at 6000 rpm, produced since 1985. With the same volume, diameter and stroke of the piston, it has a slightly higher compression ratio - 9.5:1.
2E-TE, 2E-TELU
Engine 2E-TE.
In 1986, the 2E version appeared, equipped with a turbocharger - 2E-TE with 101 hp. (75 kW).
The dimensions and parameters of the engine cylinder-piston group remained unchanged (as in the 2E). A little later, the 2E-TELU modification was released, increasing to 110 hp. (81 kW) power.
2E-LJ
This engine was installed only on Toyota Starlet EP76V Van, power 73 hp. (54 kW) at 6000 rpm.
Together with 2E engines, either automatic transmission A132 or manual transmission S150, S152 (turbo versions of the engine) was installed.

Technical data
The Toyota Corolla 1ZR FE internal combustion engine is distinguished by the following characteristics:
- Engine volume – 1.6 liters.
- 4 cylinders, power – 122 hp. With.
- Acceleration to hundreds is carried out in 10.5 seconds.
The engine is powered by AI 95, consumption on the highway is 5.5 liters, the combined cycle is one liter more, in the city - about 9-10 liters. The working life is 400 thousand km. A special feature is the absence of repair dimensions for cylinders. In addition, the engine suffers greatly from overheating. Such engines were installed in almost all cars produced before 2008.
Malfunctions, problems and their causes
1
.
High oil consumption. The problem is typical for the first ZR models, it is solved by pouring oil with a viscosity of W30, instead of 0W-20, 5W-20. If the mileage is serious, then measure the compression. 2
.
1ZR engine knocking. Noise at mid speed? Change the timing chain tensioner. In addition, the generator drive belt may also make noise (whistle), so replace it. 3
. Problems with idle speed. Swimming and other troubles are caused by the throttle position sensor and a dirty throttle body itself. In addition, the pump on the 1ZR likes to leak, make noise and ask to be scrapped after 50-70 thousand km, the thermostat often dies and the engine refuses to warm up to operating temperature, the VVTi valve can jam with subsequent dullness of the car and loss of power. However, these problems do not occur all the time; the 1ZR engine turned out to be quite good, with a normal service life (+\- 250 thousand km) and with stable maintenance, it does not cause problems for the owner.
Owner reviews
- Valentin, Chelyabinsk. I own a 2008 Toyota Corolla with a 1.6 engine and a manual transmission. The mileage is 300,000 km, taking into account the difficult climatic conditions, I think that this is an excellent indicator of the durability and stability of the engine. The engine runs stably, the speed does not fluctuate, and it does not “eat” oil. All the time I poured motor oil in an iron can with a blue label 0W20, I recently switched to 5W20, and I don’t regret it at all. Gasoline is only AI-95 "Lukoil", the dynamics, as before, are at a high level.
- Egor, Chita. At one time I drove a Corolla with a 1ZR-EE engine. I drove 350,000 km without any problems and decided to get a new generation sedan. I can say with confidence that the engine of my previous car will last just as long if it receives the proper attention. It doesn’t “eat” oil, fuel consumption is always normal, and the engine has virtually no weak points.
- Kirill, Moscow. At one time I also wondered what the lifespan of Corolla engines was under moderate use. I read a lot, looked for information on the Internet, saw various reviews and opinions. Ultimately, I decided and purchased a Toyota Corolla with a 1.6 liter engine paired with a manual transmission. I drove it more than three hundred thousand kilometers, there is a slight vibration at idle, you need to look at the engine mount. Fuel and oil consumption is normal, I don’t add more. On average, 1 liter of lubricant is used per 10 km, taking into account the leaking front oil seal (there is no time to replace it). Fuel 8 liters AI-92. I changed the timing chain twice and that's it.
- Anton, Voronezh. I own a Toyota Corolla 1.6 with a 3ZZ-FE engine. Before the purchase, I was assured that the real resource of the power unit is 250 thousand kilometers. From my own experience I was convinced that it is possible to travel 300,000 km. They say that during this time the cylinder walls suffer greatly; in fact, the Korolev engines do not lend themselves to capital. But in reality, everything is much more reliable and optimistic. It depends on how you drive and what you put in the engine.
Main characteristics
The engine has an injection power system, so it can be designated by the letter I. There are 4 cylinders, the volume is 1.6 liters, the power is 190 hp. With.; urban consumption is the same as the previous version; on the highway consumption will be about 6 liters, with mixed use – 7.
The body is made of aluminum, which made the power unit lighter and eliminated overheating. Main disadvantages:
- A common problem is high oil consumption. If oil consumption is increased, the problem should be looked for in the oil scraper rings. You need to look carefully at what kind of oil filter is installed. When using non-original oil consumption, oil consumption may increase due to poor cleaning.
- The timing chain can stretch over time, which is why a characteristic knocking noise appears. Less commonly, it is caused by valves.
- The liner can become a big problem if the motor is not serviced regularly. The problem of overheating, although significantly reduced, was not completely eliminated.
The service life of this Toyota engine is at least 200 thousand km. Repairable cylinders allow it to be increased.
You need to be careful about changing the oil; it needs to be done every 10 thousand km, for which you need to purchase 4.2 liters.
About Toyota Corolla engines 10th generation E140 (2006–2013)
Toyota Corolla, a very popular golf car. This car was listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the best-selling model in the world. And each of us can easily verify the validity of this statement by simply assessing how often Toyota Corolla is found on our roads. Of course, many different engine options were installed on the car. In this article we will look at the tenth generation of E140 engines.
TOYOTA 2NZ-FE ENGINE
The 2NZ-FE engine is an exact copy of the older 1NZ, with a reduced crankshaft stroke, a smaller cylinder block and a modified PShG. In other respects, the engines are absolutely identical.
Among the engine problems, the following are noted. These are knocking noises, floating speed, whistles, a short-lived oil pressure sensor, and general demands on the quality of oil and fuel. In addition, the engine is not prone to repair and is disposable, and has an overall low resource. All the disadvantages characteristic of the 1NZ engine are also present in the 2NZ-FE. It should be noted that this engine is not suitable for the Toyota Corolla. But for Yaris and similar models it is more or less suitable.
TUNING OPPORTUNITIES
It is easy to purchase a ready-made turbo kit from TRD for the 1NZ engine on the market. If you don’t want to use a ready-made solution, you will need to purchase an IHI RHF4 turbine, manifold, pipe, intercooler, blow-off, thick cylinder head gasket, 2ZZ-GE injectors, 1JZ-GTE fuel pump, 1NZ-FET/GReddy e-Manage Ultimate brain. The modification will allow you to get approximately 150-160 hp. Further improvements are irrational due to the poor price/effect ratio. In addition, you can easily find a ready-made supercharger kit on the market made by Blitz, Greddy, Jimze. Purchasing one of them and the corresponding modifications will give the owner 145-150 hp.
TOYOTA 4ZZ-FE ENGINE
Having developed the 3ZZ-FE 1.6 liter based on the 1ZZ, Toyota engineers decided not to stop there and began developing a smaller-volume power unit. We took the 3ZZ as a base and installed a smaller crankshaft with a shorter piston stroke. As a result, we got a 1.4 liter engine. That's all the differences between the 4ZZ-FE and its predecessors. The 4ZZ-FE engine has not been modified, and therefore there are not many variations.
The bottom line is that we have a small engine that is disposable and weak with a low resource. In addition, the engine adopted all the weaknesses characteristic of the 1ZZ engine. Since 2008, the 4ZZ began to be replaced by the 1NR engine.
TUNING OPPORTUNITIES
Best of all, for tuning 4ZZ, installing an SC-14 compressor is suitable. It will require the use of several head gaskets, installation of a supercharger, intercooler, 2ZZ injectors, blow-offs, use of a 51 pipe exhaust, and Greddy E-manage Ultimate tuning. Any other modifications will not bring much results, and for the effect to be noticeable, all components will need to be replaced, with the exception of the block.
TOYOTA 1 NZ-FE ENGINE
Engine 1 NZ-FE, the first representative of the small-volume NZ engine series. The line was released in 1999, its main purpose was to be used on small class cars. The characteristics of the NZ engines are reminiscent of the larger ZZ: with an aluminum cylinder block that cannot be repaired, with a VVTi system on the intake camshaft, and a thin single-row chain with an 8mm pitch. After 2003, 1NZ engines are equipped with hydraulic compensators. Thanks to this, there is no need to adjust the valves, unlike older versions. In addition to the main version of the engine, a modification 1NZ-FXE was produced; this variation was installed on hybrid cars. This modification has an increased compression ratio.
Among the engine's shortcomings, the following are noted.
- Significant oil consumption. This problem is typical for cars with high mileage. To solve the problem, you will need to decarbonize, and you may need to replace the oil scraper rings and caps.
- The engine may knock and make noise. Most often the problem is chain stretching. This is especially true for cars with significant mileage. In such a situation, it is necessary to replace the timing chain.
- The speed may fluctuate. In this case, it is necessary to clean the throttle valve block, as well as the idle air valve.
- The engine whistles. The problem is most likely a cracked alternator belt.
- The engine vibrates. You will need to inspect the engine mounts, clean the injectors, and replace the fuel filter.
In addition to these problems, the engine is characterized by problems with the oil pressure sensor, the rear crankshaft oil seal, and the cylinder block. To minimize possible troubles, you should pay attention to the quality of oil and fuel.
TUNING OPPORTUNITIES
It is easy to find a ready-made TRD turbo kit for the 1NZ engine on the market. Alternatively, you can consider purchasing an IHI RHF4 turbine, manifold, pipe, intercooler, blow-off, thick cylinder head gasket, 2ZZ-GE injectors, 1JZ-GTE fuel pump, 1NZ-FET/GReddy e-Manage Ultimate brain. As a result of manipulations, you can get 150-160 hp. In the case of the option with a compressor, you can find a ready-made supercharger kit manufactured by Blitz, Greddy, Jimze. After appropriate modifications, you can achieve 145-150 hp.
TOYOTA 3ZZ-FE ENGINE
The 3ZZ-FE engine was released in 2000, and became a replacement for the 4A engine produced since 1982. Technically, the 3ZZ is an analogue of the 1ZZ-FE with a crankshaft that has a reduced piston stroke, a lower block height, and an increased compression ratio. In addition, compared to 4A, the 3ZZ engine has no modifications.
If we talk about engine malfunctions and problems, we can say that the 3ZZ-FE completely copies the 1ZZ-FE. Among the shortcomings the following are noted. High oil consumption, speed fluctuates, the engine vibrates, knocks and makes a lot of noise. In addition, the engine is disposable, and in terms of reliability it is inferior to 4A.
TUNING POSSIBILITIES As for atmospheric tuning, the engine is not suitable for this, since the developers did not consider the sports component when creating the engine. You simply cannot find parts suitable for tuning on the market. There is essentially one tuning option, this is the use of a Toyota SC-14 compressor. This way you can get 150 hp.
TOYOTA 1ZR-FE ENGINE
The 1ZR-FE engine appeared in 2007 as a successor to the unpopular ZZ line. The 1ZR power unit was developed to replace the 3ZZ engine. In order to reduce the load on the liner in 1ZR, the axes of the cylinders and crankshaft do not intersect each other. In addition, the engine uses a Dual VVT-i variable valve timing system on the intake and exhaust shafts, as well as a Valvematic valve lift system. The engine is characterized by the presence of hydraulic compensators, which means there is no need to adjust the valves. The engine itself is disposable, and has an aluminum block, without repair dimensions. In addition to the main version 1ZR-FE, an analogue with the index 1ZR-FAE was released. This modification uses the Valvematic system, the modification itself has an increased compression ratio of 10.7, and a power of 132 hp.
Among the malfunctions most often noted are the following.
- High oil consumption. This most often occurs on the first ZR models; the problem can be solved if you use oil with a viscosity of W30, instead of 0W-20, 5W-20. In case of significant mileage, it is necessary to measure the compression.
- The engine knocks and makes noise at medium speeds. The timing chain tensioner needs to be replaced. The generator drive belt can also be a source of characteristic noise.
- The idle speed fluctuates. Most likely the cause is the throttle position sensor.
TUNING OPPORTUNITIES
The main, most suitable option for tuning the 1ZR-FE engine would be to install a turbine.
TOYOTA 2ZR-FE ENGINE
The 2ZR engine appeared in 2007 to replace the unpopular 1ZZ. In the Toyota ZR line-up, it is located between the smaller 1ZR and the larger 3ZR. These three models differ in the crankshaft stroke length. Another difference between the 2ZR is the presence of modifications with the Atkinson cycle.
If we talk about modifications, the following engine variations were produced.
- 2ZR-FE, basic variation, with Dual-VVTi system, compression ratio 10, power 128-134 hp.
- 2ZR-FAE, similar to 2ZR-FE, uses a Valvematic valve lift control system. Compression ratio 10.5, power 143-150 hp.
- 2ZR-FXE, similar to 2ZR-FE, was used on hybrid vehicles. Compression ratio 13, power 98 hp.
In terms of faults, the 2ZR engine repeats the 1ZR, and these shortcomings were mentioned above.
TUNING OPPORTUNITIES
For tuning, turbo kits for 2ZR, which are easy to find, are best suited. Moreover, turbo kits are ready-made with a full set of necessary components. You just need to purchase and configure one. This modification allows you to get 250-300 hp. However, it should be remembered that such modifications will affect the engine life.
TOYOTA 1ZZ-FE ENGINE
The ZZ line of engines started in 1998 and was created to replace the A line of power units. The basic and main 1ZZ replaced the 7A, and had a lightweight aluminum cylinder block with cast iron liners. The timing chain drive is equipped with a VVTi variable valve timing system. The engine is characterized by the presence of forged connecting rods and lightweight valves. The engine is long-stroke, and therefore low-end.
Compared to the A series, the 1ZZ does not have many modifications, but nevertheless there are some.
- 1ZZ-FE, basic version, with a power of 120-140 hp. Published in 1998-2007.
- 1ZZ-FED, similar to 1ZZ-FE, has a power of 140 hp.
- 1ZZ-FBE, similar to 1ZZ-FE and adapted for biofuel. Released for the Brazilian market.
Among the malfunctions, the most common are the following.
- High oil consumption. It is necessary to change the oil scraper rings.
- The engine is knocking. Typically, this occurs due to stretching of the timing chain.
- The speed may fluctuate. The throttle body and idle air valve need to be flushed.
- The engine vibrates. The rear engine mount needs to be checked. To be fair, it should be noted that vibrations can be specific to the engine. In addition, the engine is disposable and prone to overheating.
TUNING OPPORTUNITIES
The simplest option in this case would be chip tuning; it will give an increase of 30 hp. Installing a turbine and corresponding settings will allow you to get from 200 hp. up to 300 hp Finally, using a Toyota SC14 compressor, intercooler, blowoff, 440cc injectors, Walbro 255 lph pump, Greddy E-manage Ultimate tuning will allow you to get 200 hp.
TOYOTA 3ZR-FE ENGINE
The most powerful engine in the ZR line was released in 2007, and was intended to replace the 1AZ. It is distinguished by a crankshaft with an increased piston stroke (97.6 mm) and the presence of a biofuel version of the engine. If we talk about modifications, there are the following variations.
- 3ZR-FE, basic version with double VVTi, compression ratio 10, power 143.
- 3ZR-FAE, similar to 3ZR-FE, has a Valvematic system, and a power of 155 hp.
- 3ZR-FBE, similar to 3ZR-FE. Engine adapted for biofuels with engine power of 151 hp.
In terms of faults, the 3ZR completely repeats the shortcomings of the 2ZR-FE mentioned above.
TUNING OPPORTUNITIES
The 2ZR-FE tuning methods are exactly the same for the TOYOTA 3ZR-FE engine. TOYOTA 2AZ-FE ENGINE The 2AZ engine appeared in 2000, and became a replacement for the 2.2 liter 5S. Essentially this is a 1AZ, only the cylinders are bored to a diameter of 88.5 mm. Yes, the crankshaft has an increased stroke. The crankcase has two balancer shafts, which ensure smooth operation and reduce vibration. But in general, like the 1AZ, the 2AZ-FE has an aluminum block, single VVTi, electronic throttle.
Among the malfunctions of the TOYOTA 2АZ-FE engine, the following are the most common.
- Thread failure in the block.
- The engine jerks and vibrates.
- The cylinder block is not repairable.
TUNING OPPORTUNITIES
For the 2AZ engine, there are a number of ready-made solutions on the market that allow you to increase the engine power to 300 hp. and higher. The most widespread is the turbo kit based on the T04E.

Engine Toyota Corolla 1.6 VVT I
The VVT I engine is often found on cars manufactured for the Russian Federation. They have 4 cylinders, an aluminum body, 16 valves, an injection power system and a timing chain. It was possible to improve the characteristics of the unit thanks to the use of VVT-I technology. The valve timing is adjusted almost perfectly, so the engine turned out to be quite dynamic with economical consumption (below 10 liters).
Cars from 2011–2014 received hydraulic compensators, which eliminates the need to adjust the valves. A serious disadvantage of VVT-I is its poor maintainability; the cylinders almost cannot be bored. The characteristics of the engine model are similar to the 1ZR FE.
Salon
Internal changes are not drastic, there are many reminders of the past generation. The velor on the seats and door panels also remained as upholstery. There is more free space, so some people call the car spacious, despite its small dimensions.
The driver received a 4-spoke steering wheel with two horn buttons. The instrument panel has taken on a more conservative look by modern standards - two large and two small analogue sensors. The center console was turned slightly towards the driver, a more modern cassette radio was installed and the Corolla E100 climate control unit was redesigned. One slider is responsible for the temperature, and everything else is controlled by a puck and 8 buttons.
The rear card is interestingly designed - a large speaker and the absence of a handle, that is, in the armrest there is a large recess for things, which is a handle. Sound insulation studies have had an even greater impact on cabin quietness.
Most of the models imported to Russia are simple, they don’t even have all the power windows. Although the model was officially sold in Russia.
Price
There are plenty of such cars on the market, and at different prices. The condition of the car depends on the price; it all starts from 50,000 rubles and goes up to 200,000 rubles . We recommend taking a closer look at the golden mean. Some people consider servicing expensive, but in reality the prices are low for foreign cars.
Conclusion: The machine is not without its shortcomings, but the concept of good reliability is attributed to it. The Toyota Corolla E100 will be an excellent main car for a person with a small budget, and in terms of ride quality it will clearly outperform competitors in this price segment.
