My friend blew his motor and he is thinking of picking up an 03 camry 2az or an 06 rav4 2az, will any 2azfe engine drop into our cars, i would think so right??

 

maybe not a direct drop in. some minor modification might be needed but im not sure

 

the wiring harnesses might be different. just like swapping a 07+ motor into an 05-06 car. and vise versa.

 

mounts may vary...idk this for sure but it has been said before that a 2az from 2nd gen xb isnt a direct replacement for the tc however all thats needed is to swap out the timeing cover and maybe the valve cover.

I have a 2az sourced from an 08 or 09 camry (cant remember exact year, its one of the two) and the mounts were the same, only diff was the valve cover. where the coilpacks bolt down is raised 1/4" higher on the camry vs tc 2az.

 

i do believe coryjames put a tc motor in his gen2 no problem.

 

^^he did and I could have sworn he said he had to swap out timeing covers.

 

ok right on, what about the ecu?

 

if you post up a pinout we could compair em and see but i kinda doubt it

 

05-06 tc pinout

07-10 tc pinout

ECU from 05-06 is different from 07-10 tC and different from 08-10 xB2

 

allright, thanks guys

 

If the CR and vvti is the same (not sure on those years of the Rav4 and camry) you could possibly just use the long block, bolt up everything off the tC and use the tC's ECU that you already have.
