Hmm but even the 2ZZ is not a simple drop-in replacement, the TRD workshop here can do it, but it takes about a month, as they need to redo a lot of the engine bay.

There are also people working on a RWD yaris with swapped engine, somewhere around here, called Project Sideways.. that would be badass... Too bad they're not going all out crazy and putting in a 2JZ

good lord... you'd probably have to lengthen the front to fit a 2JZ... hmm, I was looking at a Passat W8 the other day though, and despite the obvious obstacles... I think the W8 engine would actually fit in the Yaris's engine bay... tight fit, but it seems like it would, now that's a scary thought... 8cyl Yaris.

+ if anyone pulls that off...

But more realistically, does Toyota actually make a good high performance V6 engine for RWD application?
