slightly off engine swap questions xb vs yaris

[sh0rtlife]

ok so ive been digging and the reality is that there is more information here than any other place ive looked..but ive exhausted my searching so im left to ask

how different is a first gen scion xb from a yaris SPECIFICALY in the engine bay

we might be grabbing a cheep clean blown engine XB...05?, and im fully aware it uses the EXACT engine our lil yari' do, so my brain got thinking..if it needs an engine why not do a swap?

if the 2zrfe fits and works in a yaris certainly it should be pretty much the same swap in an XB....but everything ive seen in regards to said swap on a yaris always leads to a lil confusion around the ABS and generation of the car

so lets say i wanted to swap the 2z into a 07 yaris..what rules change?..and what rules change in regardes to NON abs?

ill know more on the scion this weekend

Should be pretty much the same job, its the same car with a different body shape really. But their are scion forums Ive seen just like this that have all that info. Could try asking here https://www.clubxb.com/forums/

Yeah same rear trailing arm, you would only need the yaris hand brake cables.

wait so i could just take the whole rear assy?

so then a scion really is just a yaris with a toaster body

Yeah just checked XB has the same arm by the looks c

Will need to double check that I could not find the vitz rs part number.

The 2nd gen xB has rear disc, also 5 lugs 5X114.3. Still trying to find out if rear axle frame will fit the Yaris...

welp the deal for the gen1 fell thru...ive got 2 others im working deals on..another gen1 and a gen2......if the gen2 happens ill be able to figure it out in short order..but me and my wife both LOVE the lil gen1 toasters...and have always wanted one

i keep coming across totaled but running XB's second gen, annd it begs the question...why hasnt anyone used one as parts to do a 2.4 swap into a yaris?!?!?!?

The 2ZR from an xD is more of a straight swap. I've thought about dropping in a 2AR in my Yaris, it's heavier though. You might want to grab the engine and transmission from a tC instead.
This guy was able to squeeze out 270HP out of a 2AR and he's installed it in his MR-S, he's also put a 1GR and 2GR in his MR-S:

a 2AR-FE in a Yaris would make it brutally front heavy, also FrankensteinMotorworks is an encyclopedia on MR2s, GR and AR engines. Super knowledgeable dude.
