Probably not, they are probably referring to the 2ZR-FSE (xD motor)

ive been saying this in a few posts foe a while now, you will see this motor in a yaris by 2009. so far the xd shares not only the yaris ts/sr motor but the usdm TRD shocks and strut bar. its a good thing to be able to work for toyota/scion......

Thirty-Nine · 07-20-2007, 08:17 PM

No offense, but I'll believe it when I see it. Don't get me wrong -- I'd love it. However, the xD already will be a small hatch (on the Yaris platform already) with this engine. I'll keep my fingers crossed, though.

I know that company Street Image produced a Toyota Yaris Sedan show car and I read that it does have a celica gts engine and i believe its boosted ive tried contacting them bcuz their info would be helpful to many on this site but they never answered back if u wanna see a pic of the car or try contacting them here..

2ZZ-GE Boosted seems to be promising so far .. 180hp to the crank = boost sounds doable to me. As far as mounting points, how close are they?

Also, anyone know the roundabout cost of a used motor with low miles?

Sabretooth · 07-28-2007, 05:03 AM

3k for one with about 20k miles, 2k for about 35k...check ebay motors.

Sabretooth · 07-28-2007, 07:07 AM

Just found this, thought I would share...been up most of the night looking for decent priced motors.

4AGE- 165hp blacktop
$950- motor only, 50kish miles.

4AGE- Silvertop
$750- motor only. 50kish

Turbo 3SGTE (93 Celica)
$1350- motor/trans 5spd. 50kish

Turbo 3SGTE Engine/Trans JDM ST185 Swap
$1400 with ECU and Harnesses, Ready to work on.

Just within a couple hours I found these, kinda pricey, but could be made affordable, Would fit nicely in the older gen Echo though.

WTB Older gen Echo Hatch 2Dr !!!!

Once I get the fellas away from the crank shaft we are going to try and line up the mounts for a test fit.

eTiMaGo · 08-08-2007, 04:58 AM

lol you could use whole Yarii as the pistons for that engine!

thebarber · 08-08-2007, 01:47 PM

i wouldnt run a 2zzge, the tranny is junk, its why i got rid of my XRS....ask anyone on 9thgencorolla or matrixowners.com....junk.

not totally sure a 2zz or 1zz would fit as i recall seeing someone try with an echo hatchback, but they had to cut the frame (check echodrivers.com or echo-bb.com)

though 2300lbs w/ a 1zz or the new 2zzfe (or whatever it is) would definitely be promising....

but its easier just to boost the 1nzfe

Oh that's too bad, I would have thought a 6-speed would be pretty decent... Would it be possible to use some other 5 (or 6)-speed tranny with the 2ZZ?

the 5speed from teh 1zz bolts up....'war' from newcelica built a turbo 2zz mr2 w/ a 5speed

but w/ the short powerband of a 2zz, you NEED the 6speed.....but its a peice of junk

better off to get a 1zz and turbo it, imo

or just turbo or s/c teh 1nzfe

DJ_SpaRky · 08-09-2007, 07:24 AM

[scrolls up to 5th post] Turbo 1ZZ FTW.

Rich Norman · 08-12-2007, 12:36 PM

1ZZ-FE is not a bad choice for Yaris.

But for keeping it pure Toyota, ultimate power, money no object, 2ZZ-GE most definitely is the route I would take.

Nearly every engine offering from any given manufacturer seems to go this way, larger displacement engine with superior cylinder head, but more costly to tune.

Drummerdawgmr-s · 08-14-2007, 10:19 AM

you say "but keeping it pure toyota" but the 2zz head is made by yamaha

Drummerdawgmr-s · 08-14-2007, 10:22 AM

also i have a mr2 spyder and the mother of swaps is the 2zz and i have never heard that the 6 spd is junk, only prob i have heard is of my friends 2zz celica and his 4th gr sycro is goin out/all ive heard

and about the 1zz/2zz the 1zz is my choice because it has potential for loads more tq then the 2zz would dream about, but the 2zz can pull alot more hp #'s and myself would like to have a fair balance of hp/tq so my plans for the spyder were goin to be a Rotrex build, seems most promising and reliable so far, and the guy that creates the kit for the mr2 only lives hours away from me
