2zr Swap Question - Toyota Yaris Forums

stidnam · 09-12-2022, 06:36 AM

You generally want to ensure that the engine you're swapping comes from the same generation/era as the car you're swapping it into.

I've talked at length with said "madman" about his 3rd gen swap. He ran into a lot of the same issues I did, including the Yaris ABS unit being incompatible with the engine ECU. He really had no other choice with that swap btw. You can't swap earlier model 2ZR setups into 3rd gen Yarii. Technically you can get the motor to run, but there are incompatibilities with body modules, immobilisers, dash clusters etc.

Based on the above and my experience, I do not believe a late model 2ZR engine would work in an early model Yaris such as the NCP9X. Not seamlessly anyway.
