mr, wouldn't it be hard to get a 2NZ here and to ship from Europe would be cost prohibitive. If I could afford it, I'd swap in a 1NR-FE, 1.3L, Dual VVT-i, Start-Stop, 99 HP/97.4 ft-lbs. Or a 1ND-TV 1.4L TDI. |
i think i'll jump on in here
i have seen low mileage engines offered in this country direct from japan
i never understood how this could be
well come to find out people in japan will not drive a car that is more than 2 years old
yes there might be some guy in japan who is really poor with one that is 3 years old but that is about it.
the Gov. over there makes you pay MORE to register an older car so owning one that is 4 or more years old just isn't worth it
they just go get a new car
the old cars have their engines/ tranys removed
the rest of the car gets crushed for the most part
while in Manila (Philippines)
2 years ago i saw the following Toyota engines being used
2 liter engine
(only saw one) used in a newer corolla
1.8 liter
this is the standard engine that they use in the corolla taxi cabs over there. they are dam near bombproof
1.6 liter
i also saw these used in corolla's but but not in a taxi
i think i saw a few in what they call the Vios
which is a yaris only the tail lights were different
i also saw some 1.5 liter & 1.3 liter engines being used in the yaris look-alikes that they had.
