Yaris Engine Swaps!!! - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

yarisTOONR82 · 02-08-2007, 12:31 PM

I am looking at buying one and rebuilding the top end. forged titanium rods, forged aluminum pistons, bore it out to 76mm (1.6L), and new head gasket to change the compression to 8.5:1. This way It will be able to handle forced induction reliably and have a little bit more displacement.

Sounds like an awesome project!!! But I'm not sure if its quite the same engine. I remember hearing something about 2 belts, whereas we have just one...? There are more qualified people than me to answer this.

cdydjded · 02-08-2007, 01:21 PM

yaristoon: do you realize what a titanium rod cost? Carrilo & Crower has rods available.

yarisTOONR82 · 02-08-2007, 09:00 PM

$1000usd for rods, pistons, head gasket, and all hardware.

yarisTOONR82 · 02-08-2007, 09:01 PM

and $650 for a use engine. (if I can find one that works.)

No power steering belt on the Yaris. Its electric... boogie woogie woogie.

yeah but that should just be a matter of swapping a couple of pulleys

ChinoCharles · 02-08-2007, 09:11 PM

I was just stating the reason for the extra pulley on the Scions... I don't know shit about engine swaps!

If you need a steak grilled or a computer built, call me though.

Making a 2zz-ge fit into a Yaris is no easy task, you will need:

1.) An extreme amount of talent and time

or...

2.) A TON of money and a quality shop.

Once you figure out the wiring, engine mounts, CV/lug conversion, and all the firewall modification to make it fit its a matter of making it pass emissions. For those living in a non-testing county this is easy.

If you want to receive a BAR sticker for 49 state emission legality the engine/ecu must have the following:

*Be at least the same year or newer than the chassis (thus limiting your 2zz-ge choices)
*Maintain all factory emission equipment from that powertrain (no hacking cats/stand-alones/etc)

Its true, you could drum up a nasty supercharger system and piggyback computer and tweak it to run clean enough to pass most emission tests (no check engine lights). For the price of a 2zz-ge swap you could either rebuild the engine with titanium components and reinforce the block or just keep throwing in stock 1nz's at $300 + labor per shot.

This way you could also revert it back to stock if you had to sell it w/o trying to explain your Franken-Yaris to a confused buyer.

If your dedicated enough to swap the 2zz I would just cherish every minute with the car and figure a way to register it in the boonies. Its a much easier way for most people to get new license tabs.

PS: The 1zz-fe and the 2zz-ge are equal in difficulty to swap while the only advantage the 1zz has is its price and availability. Performance per buck is nowhere near the 2zz.

yaristoon: sorry but you will spend $1000 on the rods alone. I sell JE pistons on eBay & I sell them for $485.00. Even Eagle rods which are the cheapest on the market cost $325.00. I think you meant billet steel rods.
