i have a 1zz IM w/TB looks to be a straight swap out. IM is a little bigger and TB is @ an upward angle tho. gonna try it anyways. keep you posted

andysxA · 11-03-2006, 07:07 PM

yeah man, let me know how that works out, i didnt really want to be the guinea pig for it

george_da_2nd · 11-03-2006, 10:32 PM

whats the point dose it creat more horse power?

scion04xb · 11-03-2006, 11:17 PM

well more air + fuel= more power! but it gets to a point of doing nothing. The 1nz mite be at the with the stock throttle body and intake manifold but we will see if devious gets it to work.

firesquare · 11-03-2006, 11:19 PM

any word on an aftermarket intake manifold? a TB swap would be even better if that was avalable

scion04xb · 11-03-2006, 11:20 PM

yea I also wondered if there is an aftermarket throttle body but no one replied to my thread about it so I dont think so.

metsvenand · 11-07-2006, 04:11 PM

I would also like to know more about the swap. Devious, can you give me more details about the TB. Thanks!

Scorpius01 · 11-13-2006, 05:24 AM

Come on. There is no piont in doing something like this unless it has become a restriction for the motor. just because a throttle body is bigger does not mean you will benefit from it

frogbox · 11-13-2006, 01:20 PM

Our throttle bodies are just about at max flow for our motors, only thing would be to go with one about the size of the 1.8 Corolla.

And for those that talk about not doing any good on a stock motor, a good example is the throttle body swap done on Neons. with them going to a TB from an auto trans, which was larger, gave about 20 more hp. Have done it before.

For those thinking of boring one out, look at the ECHO forums, they have done it and it works.

hmmm... interesting

I will be back here reading about this

george_da_2nd · 11-13-2006, 05:42 PM

allright so has anyone tryed a corolla TB yet should i snag one froma junkyard or buy a new part?

metsvenand · 11-13-2006, 05:57 PM

I would do a junkyard, but they don't always allow you to return it. When you get one from the dealership and it doesn't fit, you can return it and get a refund. The only thing they might do is charge you a re-stocking fee.

6hp at the wheels, not 20. I dyno'ed it myself in 1998, before it was a "known" easy mod.

Anyways, I doubt it would do much for our Scions though. But there's only one way to find out!

deviousXA · 11-14-2006, 12:56 AM

sorry i have not kept you guys updated......so the whole thing is gonna bolt right up im just waiting on a new IM gasket......the runners on the IM are significantly longer and the TB is SO much bigger i can almost put the entire 1nz TB into the opening of the 1zz.....i will have to be crafty when installing because i have a koyo alum. radiator and the remote location of the radiator filler neck needs to come in some.....ill be posting pics and a follow along too.......now what to do with the rest of the 1zz sitting in the corner of my shop?......hmmmm any ideas?
