Only rear and all-wheel drive models with automatic transmissions were equipped with the 2.5-liter Toyota 1JZ-FSE engine, which was manufactured at the Tahara Plant in Japan between 1999 and 2007. The exclusive D4 direct fuel injection system is the main feature that sets the power unit apart.
The engines 1JZ-GE, 1JZ-GTE, 1JZ-FSE, 2JZ-GE, 2JZ-GTE, and 2JZ-FSE are also part of the JZ family.
The engine was mounted on:
- Toyota Brevis 1 (G10) in 2001 – 2007;
- Toyota Crown 11 (S170) in 1999 – 2003;
- Toyota Mark II 9 (X110) in 2000 – 2007;
- Toyota Mark II Blit 1 (X110) in 2002 – 2007;
- Toyota Progres 1 (G10) in 2001 – 2007;

Disadvantages of the 1JZ-FSE engine
Most worried about the direct injection injectors and high pressure fuel pump;
Additionally, this motor tends to fill candles and is terrified of frost and humidity;
The VVT-i phase regulator and the water pump both fail rather quickly;
The power unit trips because ignition coils frequently burn;
Idle speed controller malfunctions and a dirty throttle are the causes of floating speeds.
