Great! Just shortly after I got my car, Toyota announces a replacement for my engine. Don't feel great driving around with an obsolete engine.
The new 1.8 liter 2ZR-FE engine replaces the 1ZZ-FE in Toyota’s line-up. The 2ZR-FE has a few enhancements over the 1ZZ-FE found in our Toyota Wish 1.8 X, X'E, X Aerosports and X limited models. 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 1ZZ-FE engine 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.
Official Toyota announcement here.
Anyway, we'll see how it goes...
Cheers,
