2AZ swap
 

Has anyone looked into this yet? You can pick up engine and tranny for about a grand, the cost of the swap would be the killer and in my case the 5speed swap too. I just wanna know if it will fit without any major modifications.

Yea it can be done. Ima prolly do it over the summer but mite go wif a different motor.. gonna have to remove the battery cause that's where the intake goes... 2 of 3 mounts match to the engine nd trans as the tc supposibly so sight modification here nd there but yes it can be done

thats what i like to hear. what are you looking to put in yours?

i cannot say :icon_mrgreen: . but its not really something you wld expect lol

4age rwd conversion

jk

2zz w/ 6 speed ?????

^^^+1
and if you could get the Lotus forced induction version would be ridiculously awesome!

I didn't kno this thread went on lol .. its either a built 2az or ..... lol

Yeah it can be done but u really need to know what doing

it wasnt something i was gonna do myself. i thinking ima just let the engine be for now.

i would love to do a K20 swap from a 2006-newer Civic Si. six speeds, limited slip diff, 200 hp, 8000 redline, and tough. not the fragile 4cyl. engines from Toyota. i really like my 2008 Xd, but the drivetrain sucks. and no aftermarket support, to boot.

K20? Get a civic bro lol . Those are overrated. 2zz is the way to go. 160hp (our car is light to compensate) 6spd lsd 8k redline stock too. 2zz xd will be a civic si eater. I want to get the swap going but it wouldn't pass smog. Until I find someone to help me out in md, I can't swap

hey, xD Kidd91, I pretty much was saying it tongue-in-cheek(joking). i bought my 2008xD in December 2007, soon after they came out, and was told by the dealer's parts department that TRD was releasing new performance parts for the xD on a continuing basis. that was partly why i bought the xD. then the economy went to crap, and TRD left the xD out to dry. also, the shifting of the manual tranny is so rubbery and imprecise, i missed a shift when i was getting on the freeway. driving normally, not hot-rodding! instant broken engine! i'm 46, and have been driving manuals for over 30 years, including a couple pretty fast cars, and have NEVER had that happen! i'm just frustraded...

and mostly, i LOVE my xD...

That's one hard missed shift! I've had a missed shift once or twice, but usually ended up just grinding a bit. After I got the trd short shifter, I installed Dr. Isotope bushings, and that firmed everything up pretty good. Sucks to hear about your motor.

i had a couple missed shifts too before NST short shift and bushings went in. the sound just sounds like utter fail

Damn that sucks man. Does warranty cover that? Pretty crazy. But ii kno what u mean. I bought mines in sept of 08. Sucks trd stop trying making effort for the xd. They even discontinued the fog lights smh.

While my parents are out. I been lazy to driving my stick shift so I been driving mothers 9gth rolla auto. And they have larger final gear ratios than our cars 0_o .. hwy 80mph at 3k rolla. Xd 70mph at 3k stick if I'm not mistaking. Anyone else sees this?

xD's prefer the red light challenge over top speed lol

when i lunched my engine frome the mis-shift, there was NO grinding. it just smoothly slid back into first gear.

The way you say that is pretty horrible/funny. Your synchros must have been working at peak efficiency for their demise! I.. I.. I don't know what to say... sucks man
