The 1NZFE gas engine in the Cdn/US 2nd Generation Yaris, the Cdn Echo Hatchback (1st gen Yaris) as well as the Scion Xa and Xb uses a proprietary Toyota block heater that slips into a machined hole on the firewall side of the engine block (in the water jacket). Knowing Toyota they will have leveraged this same technology for the Diesel engine as well. Go to your Toyota dealer for their input.
Hope this helps you out . . .
By the way the block heater is extremely effective, makes a huge difference in the cold (05 Echo HB, gas, cold Canadian winters).
