2zz in-depth
#41
ok now i have a question after reading all of this why are you people saying the 2zz is a dog untill lift? um lets stop and think here you are talking about putting a 180hp engine into a car that come with a 108hp engine I really dont hink it is going to be a dog at lower rpms in this car at all... heck my 2005 5spd box stock can pull a 2004 civc si all they way through 2nd gear then he passed me. and no he is not a bad driver. You just need to learn how to drive the car you have stock to really see the performance. Its not just about "flooring" it and going there is a lot more to driveing than that.....well i am off the subject now..... i really think the Swap would be the best Performance upgrade out performing both the S/C and the Turbo hands down and i am saying that with the 2zz being stock. as far as the tranys are concerned why dont you guys go to a junk yard and messaround with then to see what can fit what and as far as cutting "frames" you do what you have to do to get the power you want.if you dont want to cut some parts then you really dont want to do a swap. any who just to spike this up a bit i am and have been pondering this idea in my head for about a year when i got my first of 2 boxes and now i am really thinking about taking on the project with the help of some sponsers of mine. i hope things do go well but again i am still *thinking* about it and talking with people. nothing is planed or in stone yet. ( I am being honest here)

It's not that it totally blows, but that you may achieve better results, more efficiently (less time and money) by using a 1ZZ motor, with some tweaks.

yes, the swap is the best alternative for power in my opinion also, just have to keep in consideration the lack of engines from 2004 and newer that we can find. also, u can use the 1zz engine if you want, but i think...hey, just go all out and put the 6spd in.
good luck with the swap if you go through with it, let me know how it went.

2zz is celicas gts , lotus , corolla and matrix xrs
1zz is from corolla , mr2 , celica gt
the 1zz tranny is a bit smaller so a bit more feasible swap
the 2zz is such a high inference motor if you overrev your easily gonna need to replace bent valves and possibly pistons.
