The Detail

Crate Engines Australia

Shopping for a crate engine in Australia? A brand new crate engine restores your vehicle to low-kilometre performance without the gamble of a wrecker's motor or the patched internals of a "reconditioned" unit. Every engine we sell is new, built to OEM+ specification, and quality tested before it leaves our Gold Coast warehouse.

Why Buy a Brand New Crate Engine

  • Zero kilometres, zero history — no unknown wear, no prior overheating, no mystery services.
  • Weak points engineered out — forged steel crankshafts, upgraded pistons and improved oil galleries resolve the known failure modes of engines like the 1KD-FTV and 1KZ-TE.
  • No exchange required — keep your old engine. No core charges, no waiting on a rebuild.
  • Real warranty — 1 year standard, with 2 and 3-year Platinum coverage at checkout, backed by heat tab monitoring and a local Australian team.

Which Crate Engine Do I Need?

Start with find by make and model, or match your engine code directly — our most popular units are the Toyota 1KD-FTV, Toyota 1HZ, Toyota 2TR-FE, Mitsubishi 4D56 and Nissan YD25. Not sure? Send us your VIN and we'll confirm fitment before you pay. If you're weighing up whether a replacement is worth it, our do I need a new engine guide and engine replacement cost breakdown are the place to start.

Crate Engines Shipped From Our QLD Warehouse

Every engine ships free and fully insured from 56 Export Drive, Molendinar — typically 6–8 business days Australia-wide with express options at checkout. Installation by a licensed mechanic with a tax invoice is required to activate warranty coverage; our how it works guide and YouTube tutorials walk through the whole process.
