:mrgreen: I dont know much about the engine swaps. As for the Corolla 1.8L it can be done. Im not sure of the cost & time but its a great deal of both. It was a Company in the UK that cramed one of these engines into a Echo HB, so it is possible. Thats about all I know. You might be able to get more info from www.echodrivers.com seeing they talk more about the echo then we do here. Good luck & it wont be cheap.

A update. As for the company that did it there site is down or they are no longer around. There site was/is http://www.activatech.co.uk/. If you come see any pics of a red Echo 3 Door HB with a big looking engine under the hood it was done by them. I will keep looking for pics but unless some one saved them to there server this is going to be hard :twisted:

Got to love being a post *****. :mrgreen:. Got a little more info. This car:

Has the 1.5L 1NZ-FE as stock trim. You can get a option for the 1.8L 1ZZ-FE or even a option for the 2.0L 1AZ-FSE on that car . Now the thing to think about is that the engine bay more then likely will be bigger so it can fit the 1AZ-FSE with no problems. Now if the engine bay is the same size as the xB, xA, Echo & so on then :twisted: why not import a front clip from that car? Its a Toyota Premio. You might want to stick with the 1ZZ-FE idea. Just found out the 1AZ-FSE is a Turbo Diesel engine . If that would fit man that would be sweet. 152ps@6,000rpm & 20.4Kg-m@4,000rpm. So that might be nice be the weight might not be good. Also those are some insain number for a diesel. The ones in america are stuck to 4,000rpm because of government. The gas milage with that Diesel is the same as the 1.5L . Man if I only had a crap load of money I might try some of these when I get a xA.

through the magic that is Google Images I was able to rescue these two images from the Activa site:





all other searches were fruitless...

Yeah thats the car. Now did you resize those pics? or is that googles doing? If not those are way smaller then the originals. The originals I would say was like a 600x400 or so. You could see some good detail. Guess not much can be asked seeing they are hard to find now. I tried yahoo but kept getting this stupid tercel/echo forum that was talking about tercel engine swaps. :oops:

that was googles doing...

I wish they would archive the whole image...


oh well at least they have done a good job with gMail...
