iirc the 1nzfe is about 187lbs. blitz s/c and whatnot weighs about 35lbs.

ive looked into this swap as well, ilikerice. i think you need a passenger side engine mount from an xD as well as ecu and wiring harness. you'd want the 2zrfe intake manifold, throttle body, alternator (not sure we can reuse ours) and exhaust manifold (exhaust manifold should be for an xd).

from what i understand we can likely reuse our transmisison, but you'd likely want to pick up the flywheel for 2zrfe and likely a heavier-duty clutch. the xd exhaust manifold SHOULD also line up with our stock exhaust....

but nothing has been proven....yet

ilikerice · 06-07-2011, 02:18 PM

wow.. This is all sounding very do-able...

Everything you mentioned is actually very easy unless the engine mounts will need to be custom mounted to the body. If its just interchanging parts between the xD and yaris then I may have a project in the next year or two...

Im assuming the ecu will need to be from an xD also.. so some rewireing and sensor swapping will need to be done as well.. UNLESS... I can get a ecu from a Yaris TS..

I need wire diagrams now!

the problem on my car is that i don't have abs, so im not entirely sure what ill do about the speed sensor/speedometer...

but im supercharged now....i don't know that ill ever get to this swap

Will someone please do a motor swap soon?

I'm waiting to die, and I can't do it until someone completes a Yaris motor swap. Please help me out on this.

you can be the first Garm

ilikerice · 06-07-2011, 04:29 PM

I will get to it.. and will probably boost it also.. my only concern is time and room.. but yea.. im gonna start lookin in the junkyards for xD's to strip things off.. hopefully a motor in the near future.. if thats the case this seems like a very nice and easy swap..

So, im looking at engines on ebay and can easily get just the block and head for roughly 650+250shipping... not a bad deal.. but they also got motors with everything for around $1000-$1300+shipping.. There is ALOT of Corolla 2ZRFE motors around.. I'm thinking going with either block/head setup and im assuming xD and Corolla/matrix are interchangeable components like alt, P/S, and A/c compressors.. can someone verify this?

Sorry garm.. your probably gonna have to wait a couple more years before you can die..

not only do i wanna wait for warranty to expire first (or really close to it), i need to do alot more research and im going to go ahead and start gathering the motor and parts.

Now... WHO WANTS TO BUY A GSX SHELL and A HALF COMPLETE MOTOR? lol

enviri · 06-07-2011, 09:54 PM

btw here's a link for a 3S-GTE converted xD, im pretty sure since the XD and yaris share chassis, the install should be very similar. you can pm that guy for more info.

Seen it in person,crawled under it and looked and honestly it fit very well,welding skills of course are needed to mount it....was a cool ride.

ilikerice · 06-08-2011, 05:01 AM

hmm.. interesting.. thats a badass xD.. Ill look into that more deeply.. thanks enviri

enviri · 06-10-2011, 07:58 PM

or do you want a 3RZ (Tacoma 4cyl) inside a yaris?

ilikerice · 06-10-2011, 08:03 PM

absolutly not.. way too much fab work for my skills.. ill leave that to the skilled professionals. lol

yarislady · 06-12-2011, 03:09 PM

Because then it would be a proper car. ;)

The yaris would have a much bigger following if it had a proper set up like that.

Unfortunately its an ass dragger.

ehh, i agree and disagree with that one. look at the mini cooper S.. fwd, handles like a dream for only 180hp.

at autocross, side by side with a mini cooper.. I was taken back how close the wheel base looked. Yaris is just disigned to be eco friendly, not a corner hugger

cali yaris · 08-14-2011, 04:59 PM

^ You mean "we", right?

scioncrew · 08-14-2011, 07:49 PM

ArmyYaris · 11-05-2011, 02:15 AM
