As for the 2.4 once again there is some confusion it would seem:

For those who crave even more horsepower and torque, there is the
2.4-litre engine. This engine is completely redesigned for use in the new
Corolla XRS model. The 16-valve DOHC engine with VVT-i produces 158 hp at
6,000 rpm and 162 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm.
There is no confusion.
That 2.4 is an off the shelf Toyota motor straight out of the Camry along with it's 5 speed auto and the output specs are exactly the same.
'completely redesigned' for this application.
You know what that means? Toyota redesigned the engine cover, or they relocated the alternator because it wouldn't fit the Corolla engine bay as it was. It's all marketing hype.
The 1.8 is the same short block, but with a more complicated valve train. If that rises to the marketing level of "ALL NEW" then that's how it is. Strange that the 4 speed auto and the manual setup is an exact carry over, but works with this "ALL NEW" motor.
articesteve your right! the 2.4 is not all-new at all..... it is just completely revised for the 2009 Corolla. LOL
I knew it wasn't all new but just wanted to show you how Toyota uses different terms to mean different things.
Remember when you last tried to explain how the 1.8 in the 2009 is not all new? I never mentioned the 2.4 as being all new then - because it isn't all-new at all.
The point I am trying to make - and I will spell out as simple as I can make it is this:
In the 2009 Corolla the 2.4 is called 'completely redesigned' which is the truth - it isn't all new - who knows what they changed but the basic engine isn't all new.
Whereas
Toyota says the 1.8 in the 2009 Corolla is all new.
Big difference right? apparantly you don't know too much about engines, or cars for that matter.
How is an engines displacement determined? hmmmmmm according to you a 1.8 engine is the same as every other 1.8 because it is the same displacement.
Wrong again artic
borexstroke = displacement
not all 1.8's are the same........
If you don't believe me, try Toyota AGAIN telling you that you are WRONG:
http://www.toyota.co.jp/en/news/06/0613.htmlItem Specifications
Engine model 2ZR-FE (new model) 1ZZ-FE (previous model)
Engine type In-line 4-cylinder DOHC-16 valve ←

Is there any chance that you could at least try and get some of your points to be acurate?
Then again it is too much fun to pick apart what you say because you honestly have no clue.
