The 2zr-fe engine swap guide

[ArmstrongRacing]

The 2zr uses a 5 rib belt vs the 1nz 3 rib. If there is a way to swap pulleys you can use the 1nz alternator and a/c compressor....

Armstrong, how'd you know exactly what pins were what on the Corolla harness so that you could put them the correct way when you moved all the pins to match the fuse box? I'm assuming you had the electrical diagrams from a Corolla?

I've not looked at the setup, but it may be possible to use the 3 rib belt on the 5 rib pulley. So long as both belts are "PK" belts, the rib spacing is the same. You'd still have to ensure things are lined up nicely.

Cheers.

Correct. I have ALL of the diagrams for the Yaris, Corolla, and Xd.....And I spent about a week studying and creating wiring instructions for myself...it was not an easy task.

When you get your oil pressure gauge hooked up, you will notice it idles at about 12psi. Dont be alarmed, the 2zr has completely different oil pressure specs from the 1nz.

3.6psi or more at idle
22-58psi at 3000rpm

The alternator shouldn't be a problem, just need an impact wrench to get the pulley off I would imagine, unless it's pressed on. The AC compressor would probably be a little tricky, as they usually require specialty pullers that the average person wouldn't have in their tool box.

I know the water pump pulley is a press on, so changing the 2zrfe to the 1nz 3 rib would probably not work, and I bet the diameter on the water pump shafts aren't the same. Then there's the crank pulley....

Would be better to just source 2zrfe accessories.

Here in SA we only have the 1.3l and the 1.8 T-Sport. Originally I wanted to swap to 1.5 but this is definitely looking like a good deal. I am just wondering Armstrong, do you think if I could find a 1.8 T-Sport I could use all the parts from it to do a direct swap? We don't have Scion's here and importing the bits would be costly. But I have to do it, I raced a Corolla last night and just-just lost. It has really sparked interest in this swap :D

If you can get a Yaris T-sport (1.8L), it should all be bolt-on. But why not just buy a 1.8L?

My sister owned one and it was great as far as I can remember but I love my 4 door, my soul is in this car haha I am also so sure it should all just bolt on. I'm hoping to find a scrapped one, maybe I'm lucky and get the 6-speed box as well :D

[CrankyOldMan]

You've got a C154. The 6-speed on the 2009 T-Sport from Europe is the EC67. You have to have all the supporting hydraulic lines and mounts to make it fit, since it's a completely different family of gearboxes. Probably need the drive shafts and hubs, too. Now that I think of it, I don't know that the C154 will bolt up to the 2ZR. I would assume it can, since the 1NZ bolts to the C50. Probably best you start another thread for that discussion. =)

I also have a sedan, a TRD edition with power everything, so I feel the same about keeping the car. Your swap will be easy just like ours being that you have the Tsport there. Wrecked Yaris' are hard to come by though so you may have to search for a used engine from another 2zr equipped car, and then get the smaller items new from Toyota like I did.

[MedMantle]

I'm gonna try and check out a T-Sport if I can find one on the road. The bits I'll need off it would probably be equivalent to the ones on the Scion! I'll do some research! And yeah, to find wrecked T-Sports isn't proving to be very successful haha
Stoked, I've got something to ponder on and CrankyOldMan, you are correct. I don't want to make work for myself so I'll stick to the engine swap.. for now :P

I finally got my GoPro video up!

Damn, that sounds nice. Good driving too!

[Bluevitz-rs]

Wow that thing really rips through the first couple gears

[CrankyOldMan]

Nice recovery over the finish!

[ArmstrongRacing]

Yeah this car is a blast....I have another autocross this Sunday, and the weather looks great so I'll get to use all the power. A friend that drives a Fiesta ST will be driving the car too to give some feedback.

Decals!
