Man Devin, You got to it a lot earlier than i could T-T only if I had the money for all of it hahahahaha.

Are the rods and pistons all original custom made or are they mass produced? I was looking all around for them but I couldn't find ANYTHING for the 1nz builds?

I originally wanted to go N/A build but i dunno I'm really considering turbo now hahaha

[battleversiontc]

um they do mass produce it the rods are actually for an xb and block needs to be notched on the bottom alittle the pistons come in standard size 9.0 comp or a .5mm oversized in a .5 mm. go turbo alot more fun then n/a but rods are made by crower and the pistons are made by cp. u figure a simple setup with boost on a stock motor would be good but if you decide to up the boost later you need to build the bottom end hence why ive been talking with crower to see if they could build a 1nz bottom end along with actual rods that dont have to notch the block that will work for the yaris. he has made me custom pieces before for other builds it just takes time for them to come around with it but if this all turns out well ill prolly take the other spare motor i have build it and start selling fully built n/a or turbo motors for people in exchange for cash and there motor. depending on how much the build comes around to in price wise. i might try make a more straight shot intake manifold without bends to see how that comes out as straighter the better which isnt hard ive made itbs by myself so welding a intake pipe together shoudlnt be difficult

[gwasabi]

Oh so its a XB's setup then. Thats not too bad either. well I guess i'll ave to do a little more research on it hahaha

[battleversiontc]

well the xb and the yaris have the same motor just setup differently internals all the same i think the rods are just because there thicker thats why you need to notch them

Well, i don't think motor swaps are for pussies, although i will say that in japan motorswaps and larger displacement swaps are not done very often. This project if it gets done will be impressive. Not all motor swaps add weight. Are you saying that when all is said and done your car will weigh the same as when you started?
Ultimately, as do the tuners in Japan, I prefer my cars balanced. Power is nothing without control.
Good luck.

I thought hte newer xB's have larger 2.4L engine?

[gwasabi]

The newer XB uses the TC engine i think. I was thinking maybe grabbing a XB 1nzfe anb just popping it in like a exchange or soething hahahaha

[battleversiontc]

the newer xb does use a 2.4l but the older one uses a 1nzfe motor

[battleversiontc]

well this aint japan so it doesnt do any good mentioning it. but bigger displacement motor like the tc will add weight. like being said if you took a honda hatch that came with a 1.5l motor and added a h22a perlude motor how will that not add weight hence why they change front brakes and front suspension off the car it came off of to compensate for the weight difference now if your swapping a smaller displacement motor like a 1.3 i agree it wouldnt add weight. thats like dropping in a 350 chevy motor but later upgrading to a 572 how will that not add weight. add yes motor swaps are for pussies because they cant build what the car came with so they have to add a bigger motor in order to compensate for there lack of ability. control you can still have control on a motor swap its called taking the front suspension off the original car and swap it out to the suspension that came off the car with the motor that your swaping in the balance will still be there thats how you obtain the balance back. yes car should weigh the same when im done all said and done its called trimming the body fat everything that is lighter will drop in weight there for compensate for some of the parts that arent lighter

^^Wow. Soo hostile. I think you missed all of what I'm trying to say. Thank you for also being very condescending and childish. In Japan, they like balance due to the fact that the 1/4 mile, 1420, drag racing is not popular there. Another reason why they don't do swaps. I don't know what i said to piss you off, but anytime you wanna race me, let me know.
But I only race legally, so you'll have to wait until July.
I'd love to see you handle 600whp against, well i'll pick something with less power. Maybe even just my yaris. I don't race in straight lines though.

[battleversiontc]

im not trying to be hostile and im not pissed just trying to state something and i dont build cars for 1/4 mile i build mine for street runs not 1/4 mile no sense since we have no quarter mile i still can hold wot throttle if you like race something with turns we can do h3 on to like like off ramp turn ill still hold wot and she will still hold. but im sorry if you took it as me being pissed off and such but im really not and if you do want to test my tc against anything you bring we can do a grip run up tantulas at night with no headlights

[gwasabi]

ooooo I would so take you up on that offer for the grip run if i still had my hachi!!!! T-T I miss it!

[PETERPOOP]

no headlights!? isn't that dangerous.... lol

[battleversiontc]

not really that dangerous if you remember the turns by memory

[gwasabi]

yup yup plus your eyes adjust quickly if you know what your doing hahaha

[battleversiontc]

no need headlights jus open the eye bigga hahaha or you can always use my other method night vision goggles me and my friends use them when we use to live in cali for the vegas runs at night just turn off the lights and go

[gwasabi]

I only remember coming in from light side though

[gwasabi]

I think dark side is a little more dangerous since most on oncoming traffic come from light side
