First US 2ZR-FE Yaris swap gains exposure

[CoryM]

I've been watching this post from the start and have been wondering if there is a more common (AKA cheaper) LSD option for the XD? Or another trans that bolts in?

Also, good job on the swap!

Generally, no. The "cheapest" option is a Phantom Grip, which still runs a few hundred dollars and requires complete disassembly of the stock differential to install. There was an OBX-made torsen style that was hit or miss for being a grenade for around US$700 iirc, but I haven't looked for them recently. You might be able to find an OEM LSD in a junkyard if the stars all align for you, but I use US$1000 as the benchmark for adding limited slip of any kind that isn't going to be a gamble down the road.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, that's the price range I was finding as well. I just can't justify spending that on my Yaris even though it would make a world of difference. If I could do an easy motor swap, get more power/torque and LSD I'd be all over that though. As is, I give you guys credit for the work you've been doing; trying new things is what hot-rodding is all about.

Cheers

This is exactly my plan with my personal 2zr swap. I have a spare Yaris trans I will upgrade with the Xb final drive and a LSD....given That the yaris trans works with the 2zr.

For what it's worth:

On toyodiy.com

2008 Toyota Yaris NCP91 with a 1NZFE 1.5 Liter engine, uses a C50 manual trans part # 30300-52360.

2008 Scion XD ZSP110 with a 2ZRFE 1.8 Liter engine, uses a C50 manual trans part # 30300-52360.

Same trans, so my guess would be that a Yaris trans will bolt to the 2ZRFE engine, or at least in this case.

I've got a 2007 Yaris with an auto, and if I did this swap, would go consider going manual, but the manual trans part number for my year is a 30300-52510. I bet the difference has to do with VSS sensor vs. getting speed off of ABS, as my car doesn't have ABS.

Checked the auto trans part #s, they are different from a Yaris and a XD.

I'm just wondering if you can run the Yaris computer with the 2ZRFE, or if you have to swap out with an XD computer?
