2zz in-depth
Just wondering, what else do you need to do you need to do if your going to get a celica engine in your xa? Can the tranny take? Are there any downsides, besides voiding your warranty which is a pretty big one, to swapping. Also I heard you need to turn the engine sideways or something to get it to fit. Any answers or just facts about the 2zz engine would be great.

Hello,
The 1nz-fe trans WILL NOT bolt up to the 1zz or the 2zz. We already tried that. We have already test fitted 1zz/2zz, all a-series and s-series engines. Installing any of these engines will require frame cutting. S - series engines require serious body mods. Hope this helps.

well, are there any other ways to get the xa to about 150. Do you think maybe a header and exhaust upgrade will help at all. What other possible things are there without buying a turbo or supercharger?

Go for the whole port/polish/blueprint/balanced(and stronger pistons) and you may get up some. I'm planning on doing this with an Echo 1NZ hoping for 130+ from it. It's going to take a while tho.

The ideal motor for these cars in my honest opinion would be a trd supercharged 1zz with header , true cold air intake , exhaust , head work and tuning. Think 180whp or so but with alot more torque and a better power curve than a 2zz.

Biggest 'problem' i would think is making sure the computer would read everything accurately, or, would a remapping be needed.

Ohhh OK... so you DO know - that's good to know. So that's probably the biggest issue in conversion -
I'll have to get it up on a lift and see what needs to be trimmed and maybe reboxed to keep the strength (takes cojones to start hacking on the subframe assembly)
