Has anyone sucessfully swapped a tC motor into a 1st Gen xB?

i think its going to be too big, you would most likely have to hack up the fire wall just so the motor can sit correctly.

Surely someone has attempted it.

i dont think any of the xB guys care about the power, i would just build off the motor currently in the car.

as of now, the car is too new to be swapping out motors and such.

Somebody out there has the time and the money. For people like that new doesn't matter.

Im sure if someone was gonna attempt it, they'd have measured the engine bay....I dont think it big enough to hold it with out some serious cutting. It can be done, hell look at the $55 thousand dollar electric xB they did.

xB guys don't care about power? wow. that's a sweeping generalization.

as soon as somebody , anybody makes a 1zz/2zz swap kit it's going in my car.

i didnt say they didnt care, well i did, but didnt mean it that way.

with the engine you currently have, you dont really have much options. also, since it has been out for only 3 years i think, alot of people dont want to mess with it.

i mean, i know i am not going to be doing anything extreme to my car until warranty goes out because its still a new car and who knows what problems may arise.
