ok frist of all i have a 07 yaris sedan so its not the racer that every one has but i personally like the looks better than the Hatch. but anyways i was looking into doing a swap from the original 1nz-fe to a celica's 2ZZ-GE i was wondering if any one had anyinfo specifically looking for engine dimensions and what type of ecu and tranny to look for i was thinking some out of the corola would work but i dont know ( thats why im asking) im not a complete moron but i am kinda lost any help would be appreciated. (i can rewire a Whole car so thats not a problem)

there has been talking on this... nobody on this forum has done it yet. Lots of "plans" and lots of "eventually" (including myself? lol)... but its january of 07, and the car is an 07... give it till 08/09 when those warrantees start wear out, used yaris being available for half of what they are now, and the mod community will grow tenfold.

The platform has tons of potential, and... its not a honda!

But, to be of more help (or maybe not, lol)... there is no book with a partslist and lots of nifty pics on how to swap any motor into the yaris, at least it hasnt been found yet. If you really want to do it, do the legwork yourself... write the book, and gain tons of respect from the community :)

Search and you shall find! Just let us know what you find so it can benefit everyone

A good place to start @ the tranny... not sure how much help it is in the long run but: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3678

It's possible, TRD Thailand can do it here for about US$3000, but it's an engine swap only, not the gearbox... Engine would be a refurbished 2ZZ-GE

They say it would take about 3 months in total to order the engine, modify the engine bay, and get everything running.

I'm quite sure I will eventually do this to my car, in a year or two, but I want to explore forced induction on the stock engine first.

i think there was an aftermarket company that swapped 1NZ-FE for the 2ZZ-GE on their show car.

eTiMaGo · 02-06-2007, 01:39 AM

Oh it's certainly already been done, I am sure there are hundreds running around in Japan... But how can we access all that information??

I love the looks of the new oscar jackson super charger. Its for the fit now but if we can bug him to death maybe they will develp one for the yaris. Its not the typical old desing he used to have. Its much more efficent now, looks like a turbo and now oil lines to run or pans to tap. BLitz kit looks to be to much money for my pockets.

Yeah I saw an ad in a magazine for a supercharger that looked a lot like a turbo turbine... are those any good?

Doc Zaius · 02-07-2007, 01:27 AM

mmmmmm... pretty!

eTiMaGo · 02-07-2007, 02:26 AM

nice... Look sso much more modular than a standard supercharger... Doesn't look like it would take much to adapt to a yaris...

you need to see the compressor map for that given unit to know how well it compares to the other superchargers on the market.

and it looked like the compressor not the turbine.

I spoke to Oscar @ PRI & to the rep for Rotrex, its not going to happen unless all the pulleys are changed. Here the problem, the Yaris has 3 groove pulleys. The Rotrex need minimal 5 grooves. I had the brackets done before I spoke to the Rotrex rep. It fits without a problem. Just that changing the pulleys would make the kit expensive.

Oops wrong choice of words there

They have three different sizes available, this is for the mid-sized one:
http://www.rotrex.com/pdfs/Rotrex_Te...Range_V1.6.pdf

and for the small-size one:
http://www.rotrex.com/pdfs/Rotrex_Te...ange_V_3.5.pdf

Both of them should be applicable to our engines, according to their ratings. There's a lot more info at www.rotrex.com, if someone more knowledgeable then myself can take a look and share their opinion

Could we not use an aftermarket accessory pulley for a Scion (for example), which has the extra space for the power steering belt (which the Yaris does not use), and run it off that? If not, it should not cost all that much to get a custom pulley done, seeing what's available out there...

I see the Honda Fit has the JR Supercharger available. I had a JR Supercharger in my old 1998 Honda CR-V. It was still slow.
