View Full Version : motor swap dgHotLava 02-08-2005, 12:05 AM if they did.... they did not tell anyone..... its_ikon 02-08-2005, 03:36 AM moved to power hungry xB BoomBox757 02-08-2005, 01:37 PM there are people who have done swaps......... hotbox05 02-08-2005, 06:28 PM only one person that i know of . he has high expectations so he will ____ talk teh swap . lol he loves boost something fierce BoomBox757 02-09-2005, 01:01 AM I think we are talking about the same person dgHotLava 02-09-2005, 01:04 AM i think its the same one i know of.... but to answer the first question....no, not yet... hotbox05 02-09-2005, 01:05 AM his was successful but he wasnt happy with it. BoomBox757 02-09-2005, 01:11 AM I think I'm going to do it in the next 6 months hotbox05 02-09-2005, 01:14 AM damn boom box i dont know how u have so much money only amkin 5 something an hour. thats nuts. do u have to pay for the car payment and insurance or no? must be nice. trouble for me is since i'm in ca i have to find a 2005 motor to keep it smog legal. and a crashed 05 corolla or celica gt is gonna be hard to find. if u swap run the 5 spd 1zz tranny do not re-use the stock one even tho it bolts up. and if u want the 6spd be prepared to cut lots of frame. BoomBox757 02-09-2005, 01:17 AM ohh I'm going to return the bags I bought, cause I heard there was a defect in them, that gives me $700, and I'm sitting on about 800, so I have enough to get the engine now hotbox05 02-09-2005, 01:26 AM ohh I'm going to return the bags I bought, cause I heard there was a defect in them, that gives me $700, and I'm sitting on about 800, so I have enough to get the engine now they are fixing the problems. there were 2 different problems that have happened. so not that bad it sucks but their customer service regarding it is superb they air shipped 2nd day the fixed struts to my buddy. oh hey r u thinking 1zz or 2zz? i want a trd supercharged 1zz. same power about as the 2zz but much more tq. squareone 02-09-2005, 01:48 AM ohh I'm going to return the bags I bought, cause I heard there was a defect in them, that gives me $700, and I'm sitting on about 800, so I have enough to get the engine now Ummmm. Im not sure where you're getting your engine swap, but that's not enough cash. $1500 bucks isnt even half the price. You need a full motor, AND a tranny... If you can buy a full swap for 1500 bucks let me know... :clap: BoomBox757 02-09-2005, 01:50 AM ohh I'm going to return the bags I bought, cause I heard there was a defect in them, that gives me $700, and I'm sitting on about 800, so I have enough to get the engine now they are fixing the problems. there were 2 different problems that have happened. so not that bad it sucks but their customer service regarding it is superb they air shipped 2nd day the fixed struts to my buddy. oh hey r u thinking 1zz or 2zz? i want a trd supercharged 1zz. same power about as the 2zz but much more tq. yea, but they have to break first, and I don't want to deal with it. plus its not a bolt on as stated. I haven't decided, the 1zz is cheaper, but not by that much, and the 2zz has a lot more hp, but not that much more torque. so I was thinking a 1zz bored out and sleeved, with forged internals, I'd rather do that stuff before the engine is in the car, even though it will cost a lot. so who knows when I'll get it done. i'm sitting on 1500 now( once I return the air) hotbox05 02-09-2005, 03:08 AM yeah the kits broke but the new kits are fixed. they didnt realize there was a problem in manufacturing. damn i need some cheap air , lol. unlmtdndeavor 02-10-2005, 12:54 AM ohh I'm going to return the bags I bought, cause I heard there was a defect in them, that gives me $700, and I'm sitting on about 800, so I have enough to get the engine now Ummmm.

Man I wish I didn't live in CA I would swap in an old motor too. Damn CA and it's same model year or newer smog law. dgHotLava 02-10-2005, 12:52 PM theres some guy tryin a 7agze swap...just thot you'd like to hear daaaaaaaaamn..... :bow: oneslowxa 02-10-2005, 01:33 PM I'm still kinda surprised someone from team puerto rico didn't try dropping a rotary in a scion yet...lol Carlanga 02-10-2005, 01:59 PM Maybe i'll have to be the first puerto rican to drop a rotary on a scion. oneslowxa 02-10-2005, 02:12 PM haha 12k rpm scion! that would be crazy... hotbox05 02-10-2005, 06:51 PM Hell puerto ricans would put a turboed 3tc or 2tc. CamoBox 02-10-2005, 07:24 PM What's the problem with the celica motor/6sp tranny setup? Is the scion a narrower wheel base? I think that would be an awesome setup in a box and would love to see someone develop a mount setup for the XB. I used to have a 93 Civic H/B with a b series swap. I guess the Toyota platform is a whole lot different when it comes to doing swaps huh? VTECnik 02-10-2005, 07:48 PM friend of mine went to a track in PR and saw a white XB run 10s and has the video to prove it.. not sure of the motor though, he didnt get a chance to see it.... hotbox05 02-10-2005, 08:20 PM what? I dont believe it , maybe 10's in the 1/8th mile hotbox05 02-10-2005, 08:22 PM What's the problem with the celica motor/6sp tranny setup? Is the scion a narrower wheel base?

I guess the Toyota platform is a whole lot different when it comes to doing swaps huh? yes to fit the 6spd you will need to cut about 2 inches of frame . but the 1zz 5spd fits easily since it is the same (1nzfe) tranny but with different gearing. -Keith- 02-12-2005, 01:22 AM friend of mine went to a track in PR and saw a white XB run 10s and has the video to prove it.. not sure of the motor though, he didnt get a chance to see it.... So wheres this video to prove it? dgHotLava 02-12-2005, 02:24 AM i'd love to see the vid too... and the car thats doing this 10 sec run BoomBox757 02-12-2005, 07:15 PM ohh I'm going to return the bags I bought, cause I heard there was a defect in them, that gives me $700, and I'm sitting on about 800, so I have enough to get the engine now Ummmm.

Dude yer funny even if I doubt your 12 psi I like you. You are cool peeps. dgHotLava 02-13-2005, 12:43 AM thanks, likewise... unlmtdndeavor 02-13-2005, 08:38 AM ohh I'm going to return the bags I bought, cause I heard there was a defect in them, that gives me $700, and I'm sitting on about 800, so I have enough to get the engine now Ummmm.

AWD and turbo on an Xb would be interesting :bow: :P XBman 02-19-2005, 06:48 AM anyone made any dedicated plans yet to pull a swap? downforcexb 09-17-2005, 02:43 PM I got a question for Team N.V.S. where do u guys meet? cause i'm gonna be moving up there in a couple of weeks Match_Box 11-28-2005, 05:31 PM friend of mine went to a track in PR and saw a white XB run 10s and has the video to prove it.. not sure of the motor though, he didnt get a chance to see it.... He must have had a dream of it..I live in P.R. and there's no such thing and never heard of it..trust me if it existed here we would know for sure since it would be in all the local P.R. forums.. The fastest XB known here of is an all motor one that runs 15.3 in the 1/4 with Open Header, Intake, CAMCOM VVTI controler and weight reduction(No seats,spare tire,jack) Boxer_Rebellion 11-28-2005, 06:54 PM that's still pretty quick... Tsuihousha 12-25-2005, 10:01 AM ok, people say that dood wasnt happy with his 2zz swap, but why? i wasnt sure either just by the idea and numbers but check this out, celica with Power Fc and intake... now imagine that in an xb, that would be hot enough for me i dont know about anyone elses views. see for yourself.besides its a pretty solid motor and they sell a ton of aftermarket stuff for it. ill prolly get flamed for this but i dont care, plus i live in cali so here 2zz is our only legal hope =) see ya http://videos.streetfire.net/Player.aspx?fileid=D47A315F-A28B-4396-BEC1-209A7281FF06&t=top&term=celica&p=3 Tsuihousha 12-25-2005, 10:02 AM oh i jsut thought of something too, what about the corolla xrs motor? even though its really not worth the money. just a thought though cause im just trying to broaden the horrizen thats all. Wraith 12-25-2005, 03:31 PM I'm working on doing a 4A-GE Black Top 20valve swap. But before I do the swap I need to sell my Blitz Supercharger. And build the 4A-GE. If you Balance and Blue Print ( Forge pistons and TI rods), 11.5:1 Forge Pistons, Pauter Machine Titainium Rods, 5 Angle Valve job, port and polish, VVT Killer Cams from Toda, some sort of StandAlone ECU( possibly DTA or Freedom ecu), and new seals... If you do all you'll have 170hp to the wheels and the motor can spin safely to 9,000 - 10,000 rpm redline... hotbox05 12-25-2005, 04:03 PM old illegal motor tho. should be fun to rev that high. i think the hp will be a lil more than 170 if the redline gets raised like that :) p2filz 12-25-2005, 04:46 PM but then what would happen with all the sensors and computer things attached to the motor would you line in the celicas or line in the xb... would it fit? this is why engine swaps usually go with carburated engines no real comp to mess with Wraith 12-25-2005, 04:54 PM but then what would happen with all the sensors and computer things attached to the motor would you line in the celicas or line in the xb... would it fit? this is why engine swaps usually go with carburated engines no real comp to mess with of course you would have to re-wire your harness and under dash harness too |
