About this engine

Toyota's small all-aluminium four: chain-driven twin cams, intake VVT-i, and a reputation for using almost no fuel and asking for almost nothing. The 1NZ-FE is the engine in the Yaris, Vitz and Echo and in a great many Japanese-market Corollas, Probox and Sienta. "1NZ-FE" is moulded into the intake manifold of the unit photographed, which is how it was identified. Supplied complete with the manifold, coil packs and ancillaries as removed. Sold as a used import, exactly as it came out of the donor vehicle and as photographed. The engine code above is the one marked on this unit; we confirm it against the stamped engine number before dispatch. Compression and leak-down testing is available on request before you commit, and every unit carries a 3-month warranty against internal mechanical failure.

This list is not exhaustive. If your chassis is not here, ask — most swaps come down to mounts and sump clearance.
