The First line of the ZZ engines appeared in 1998. They were designed to replace obsolete power units of the series A. Specifically, the first representative was the internal combustion engine 1ZZ-FE. The life of the engine, compared with the previous ruler, was significantly increased. Almost all parts and components began to be manufactured from other materials, which allowed to significantly improve the operational characteristics of the motor. Let's more in detail talk about this powertrain.
As noted above, the first ZZ series engine appeared in 1998, and they were produced until 2007. But in fact it's a canadian design, as there was constructed the first internal combustion engine. In the future, Japan was engaged in the manufacture, installation, and implementation. For the most part, 1ZZ-FE was mounted on the cars for the domestic market. Later cars with these power units started to supply Europe and Russia.
For us is this motor a few years ago, remained incompletely understood. His design features a minders knew, but only in the big cities. Now, of course, this is not a problem, because the 1ZZ is widely distributed in Russia. The motor is basically mounted on the top models of Toyota cars, so this engine has probably replaced the 3S-FE, rather than A series. Well, now let's move on and talk about the technical characteristics.
This Japanese motor famous for increased power characteristics and reliability. For all the time production was released the following modification:
At the same time, there are six modifications of the 1ZZ-FE. The life of the engine is different, but the thickness varies from 120 to 140 HP it is Worth noting that the motor of this line were installed more than 15 models of cars "Toyota" with "Chevrolet" and "Pontiac".

What about the consumer reviews, many motorists say that this engine is relatively smooth and goes long enough. But he has, according to the drivers, one major drawback – big oil consumption. Japanese engineers tried to resolve this issue, but apparently nothing came of it, because the problem has not gone anywhere.
As regards the technical characteristics, this inline-4 16 valve with VVTi variable valve timing system. Engine capacity is 1.8 liters, and its power – of the order of 120-140 horsepower. The life of the engine 1ZZ-FE – approximately 200,000 hours, which is quite a lot. Fuel consumption in the city more than 10 liters, but on the highway this power unit has shown itself as quite economical. It consumes 6.2 liters in the combined cycle – approximately 8 litres of fuel. The amount of engine oil – 3.8 liters. It is desirable to pour 5w30 synthetics with the necessary tolerances.
The Japanese company at the time of manufacture of this motor made it a large number of innovations. Here as a basic material for the manufacture of block was used aluminium alloy. This made the motor much easier, but it became more vulnerable to overheating. Thin cast iron liners. They are fused into the block. It should be noted that the block here has a number of features about which to say. First, the exposed cooling jacket. Such decision has allowed to increase the workability in the manufacture of internal combustion engines, but at the same time, the strength of the unit decreased.
Loss of strength, the designers decided to compensate in the following way. Carter was connected with the crankshaft bearing caps. It turned out that the parting line passed along the axis of the crankshaft and increased the strength and rigidity of the unit as a whole.
I would Like to mention that the engine is 1ZZ-FE technical specifications which we reviewed not too "capricious" and forgives his owner a lot, but from time to time. Maintenance of the powertrain is nothing special, the main – to comply with the regulatory period. Should adhere to the following rules, which are prescribed by the manufacturer:
Japanese motor 1ZZ-FE is considered disposable. This means that the complete overhaul is impossible. This is due to the fact that perelinkovat liner will not work, since this is not provided by the manufacturer. This also applies to indigenous ear. Therefore, it is recommended to service the engine as best you can, because if he gets stuck, thento fix it will be difficult. Although currently there was the German kits.
As for the various faults, that they meet here too often. Nevertheless, trouble-free this power unit can not be named. Sometimes owners are faced with a thump in the engine and its noisy work. This is usually a sign that a stretched timing chain. If the mileage is about 150 thousand kilometers, it is recommended to simply replace. Also worth checking the idler and tensioner since they too can cause problems.
Another fairly typical problem for this power unit – big oil consumption. Usually the problem is solved by installing oil ring 2005 and later. Racconsole and other similar events, is often ineffective. It is worth noting that since 2002 the problem completely solved, so it is advisable when buying such a car to give preference to powertrain these years.
Many motorists are very concerned with the question of the life of the engine 1ZZ-FE. It's hard to say what mileage the powertrain will be damaged. However found on the forums the information that the motors go 150-200 thousand miles. In fact it is not. First, replacing the timing chain be changed every 150-200 km. Therefore, the motor definitely live longer. Second, 200 000 hours – that's quite a lot. It is clear that not every engine will work out so much, because much depends on modes of operation and maintenance.
Quite often instances running at 300-400 thousand kilometers. So it's safe to say about 500 thousand. Although to achieve such mileage will not be easy, because service in this case should be really good. Well if anything you can always buy a contractual engine 1ZZ-FE with low mileage.
As noted above, much depends on the driver. First, it is a quality lubricant. Engine oil should only buy one that is recommended by the manufacturer, or equivalent, with appropriate tolerances. Secondly, the oil change in a timely manner. But don't do it every 2-4 thousand miles. In normal operation, the original lubrication runs about 10 thousand with a small loss of performance. It is necessary to try to prevent oil starvation, as it can lead to a significant reduction of the resource engine.
A Problem with the cooling system can cause overheating of the engine of Toyota 1ZZ-FE. Since the head block is made of aluminium, it can lead. This motor is best to replace on a contract. It is desirable to select the sparing operation. All kinds of kick-downs have a negative impact on the power unit, so a long drive at high rpm should be avoided.
Any kind of improvement of this power unit are not performed as often due to its low maintainability. But still there is a wish to get out 120 HP – 200 and more. Usually in this case, install the Japanese Toyota SC14 compressor and the intercooler for cooling. Change the injectors and fuel pump on a more productive. Fine tuning of all motor systems can give an increase in power of up to 40 %.
But there is another option, allowing you to increase the power to 300 HP and more. However, such revision will be much more expensive than the engine itself. For such a gain tuning kit-kit Garrett GT284, injector 550/630 SS, and change the fuel pump. On installing forged rods and pistons with a different compression. Also, the electronic control unit is changed to Apexi Power FC. Not many people dare to such alterations as it stands, it's really expensive, but the result will justify all expectations. Most often, thus converting the engine 1ZZ-FE 1.8 liter.
We already understand what the life of the engine 1ZZ-FE. In ideal conditions it is possible to achieve about 500 000 kilometers. But in practice, usually not more than 350 thousand km. It is for this simple reason to buy a used car with this engine, be very careful. Because there is a likelihood that you will come across ice, which has almost worn out. In this case, you will not be able to complete it overhaul. The only thing left to do is to purchase a contract powertrain. It will cost about 60 000, plus work on the removal and install. A total of approximately 75 thousand. Worth it or not is up to you.
In General, the same engine 1ZZ-FE, the characteristics of which we have reviewed in this article, many drivers are full of praise. If the problem of jashoda oil on it already solved, all that remains to do for its long and smooth operation – it is time to perform maintenance. Of course this engine and its disadvantages, but often they are simple and are resolved quickly and are rather connected with the operation than with any structural features.
The Japanese engine series the ZZ definitely deserves attention. It is unfortunate that the developers have not provided the opportunity to overhaul, and maybe, intentionally made the designit is such to improve performance. One thing is for sure: this is a good motor and is very popular. From its design features is to provide a vibration only. Completely get rid of them will fail, you can only replace the rear pillow mounts engine that does not always help to solve the problem.
For its time, this powerplant had a unique operational characteristics. Engine 1ZZ-FE from Japan – it is always a high level of reliability. Though development and is partly American, because it uses a timing system DOCH, which was invented in the United States. But further modifications are developed directly in Japan. The motor worked long and fine, it must be maintained and periodically to deal with minor repairs. It is clear that the overheating should be completely avoided because it can lead to major repairs. Timely maintenance work – already half of success.
