I've come to a decision

Hmmm doesn't the 1NZ use much thinner pulleys (i.e. 3 grooves vs 6 grooves or something like that?)

Still, it would make sense for Toyota and any other car manufacturer to share parts between engines/cars, as it would lower development costs, stocking cost of spare parts, etc... Look at the AC knobs on the new xB, and several other models, for example

While placement may be similar, the size, offset, and rib count on these pulleys is not at all similar to the 1NZ. I've worked with these pulleys quite a bit over the past year or so.

Good observation none the less

I figured you would correct me if I was wrong.... Oh pulley master

Though if we could somehow cram that in the Yaris.... and relocate that intercooler.... that would be tits
