Yaris Motor Swap Thread *Read before posting swap threads*

[CrankyOldMan]

I've done some parts research on toyodiy for the euro T-sport 2ZR-FE. The motor/trans side of the mounts are identical to the xD, but the body side are unique part numbers to the TS. The shifter cable is also a unique part number, assuming that you get the TS 6-speed EC6X transmission. That thing is completely different from the C5X series. If someone has access to a UK parts dealer, this could be a very easy swap.

this is very interesting to me also.. been pondering this swap for some time now. I have been going to the junk yards waiting for an xD to be totaled so I can get a look and take some measurements.

would the C5X bolt to the yaris 1nz and also the splines off the crank fit in the stock yaris tranny?

The xD C50 uses the "same" bell housing and gearbox case as the Yaris. I say "same" because there are 2 different part numbers for the Yaris, depending on year of manufacture. The newer Yaris gearbox part number matches that of the xD, as does the bell housing.

I can't say with any certainty about the splines, but there seems to be a lot of possibilities of them being the same on the Yaris, Corolla, Matrix, Celica, etc. Looking up flywheel application charts for aftermarket items could help verify this. Even if there's a mismatch, the crank splines go into the flywheel, and the trans splines go into the clutch disc, so as long as the diameter and clearances are correct, it's not an issue.

this is becoming more and more likely then I expected.. I just want more displacement for the torque.. would like to turbo the 2zr afterwards.

thanks for the research your doing.. please keep us (may just be me) posted on things you find.

if the 2zrfe bolts to the yaris transmission, it should make for an easier swap.

The 1.8L Matrix (1st gen?) has a C59 trans, which has pretty much identical mounting holes to the C50/C56. I've got one of each on a workbench at school that I can take pictures of at some point.

I'm a new member on this Forum....but I have been forever on Newcelica.org( as "many"). I know the 2ZZ-GE inside and out. I know for a fact that the 1zz uses the C59 transmission and that one bolts up to the 2zz perfectly fine. So a 2ZZ swap wouldn't that hard...."IF" the C50/C56 has the same bolt pattern as the C59.
Of course there's the obvious engine supports that would need to be fabricated.
Bodywork modified/fortified(the subframe on the Yaris looks wimpy compared to the Celica).

You would need the Celica harness to be able to run the Power FC (Standalone) for the ecu.

The only hard part would be the axles fitting the hubs and finding a good 2ZZ with a C60 trans.
But is it worth.... it maybe not!.......but It does have "the" cool factor.

anyone swap 1.8L VVTL-i 180hp engine in the Yaris yet. I would like to know about the fitment and requirement. Thanks!

Personally, I am interested in the 4A-GE swap; I have a disassembled 4A that I took out of my MR2 sitting in storage, as well as a C52(?) transmission from a JDM AE92 Corolla.

2zz has been done in many cars in Puerto Rico. Do a search, I did a post about 2 years ago. I go into detail what need to be done

[ilikerice]

yea.. that was back in 2010... and no update on that thread... unfortunately. But definitely sounds doable. I would like to get the 2zr from the xD and boost that instead personally. I love boost so I want a motor that I can easily fit a turbo under the hood also. I am still saving up for something.. either boost 1nz or find a junk yard xD with the wire harness still in tact so I can look see how much the wiring will end up.

I've always been curious about importing the 2nz-fae from Europe or Japan makes a nuts 147 hp and 132 ft/lb tq and it should fit quite easily.

I think you meant 2ZR-FAE. If this is the case, it'd be more feasible to source an engine from a Scion XD which is a 2ZR-FE.
Also used in Japan's Vitz RS. Not a whole lot of difference.
If you can find a JDM 1NZ-FE with factory turbo from a Toyota Vitz TRD Turbo M model, that would be even better! Similar HP in a 1.5 ltr engine.

I have a suggestion for those wanting to swap. My front motor mount is a hybrid. Chassis half is Echo and motor half is Celica. I put a spacer in between because the motor sits higher in the echo than the celica.

Just sayin, it might work with 2zr-fe.

also, my transmission is a 6spd out of a JDM ae111 corola with a 2000 celica bell housing. hybrid again. I use an ae111 tranny because they have the same size axles. celica axles are thicker yoke.

[xnamerxx]

yes I did mean 2zr...the FE doesn't seem worth while as a swap since I can easily buy an XD that already has the motor and the chassis with far less work.

I really wish the engine bay was large enough to take the 3mz engine that would be a cool swap.

Yaris is 300lbs lighter, though
