Also what Fnkngrv is saying about people not sharing their builds is really quite dissapointing. In the microimageonline.com threads, people have been very open about thier motor swaps, 4agze and the 2zrfe. Both successful swaps and both have extensive build threads on the pain and frustrations that come along with them. I have only seen pictures of other swaps, but nothing about how it was done or what was and wasn't compatable. Even a couple people have tried to contact those and they never respond back or give vague answers about the shop did all the work.

Like he said, when ever I see a thread about an engine swap and how it could be done because that person has connections, experience, or time to do it, I just shrug my shoulders and will believe it when I see it.

you are looking for 250whp which can be done easily for under 5k, turbo kit, engine management, gauges, some beefier rods and lower comp pistons if you do it yourself which you say you can. I don't see how this is cheaper than just swapping a B series motor into a yaris.

I hope I get proven wrong. I really do. I would love to see it and the progress that is made, but I wont hold my breathe. Too many time has this been a fart in the wind

i totally agree and understand with what you are saying. i just got to make up my mind on what exactly i wanna do with my car. im going to do a little more research and do some pricing and compare the two together and let you guys know.....but just a heads up for you guys im going to be putting a thread up soon with a video about me wrapping and my car and also im going to be doing a weekly/daily vlog on youtube for the yaris community....or just people who are curious about whats going on.

Cool. Post a link to the youtube channel and I will definitly subcribe to it.

Reading back through my posts, I can see that it could have been a bit aggressive. I do apoligize if I offended you.

I also have dreamed to do an engine swap. Money plays the biggest role for me though. I enjoy rebuilding motors and I hardly ever get back what I put into them. It's just a hobby, and hobbies turn into money pits and are rarely turned into a profit. If I ever come across a good donor from a xD or something with a 2zz, 1zz, or 2zr. I will definitly make a thread on that.

I used to own a few CRX's before my Yaris. It was nice to have parts always available so cheap as they were. I did my motor swap back in 2004 with a b20. Mounts, linkage and harness was more expensive from hasport than my motor at the time. Honda aftermarket vendors makes it very easy with thier chassis from civics, preludes, CRV, Integra's, RSX to swap motors around non stop cheaper than any other manufaturer. It makes it twice as expensive with other manufacturers like Toyota because they demand just isn't there like it is with Honda's.

Boost, the replacement for displacement... right?

its all good buddy. no offense taken. money doesnt grow on trees and not everyone can afford to build what the want. im in the same boat as you. i just got my gopro and i am remaking a youtube channel just for my vlogging instead of using my personal one. so once i get that setup i'll post it up. i also want to setup a cruise and take a road trip but i'll talk more about that in my videos and try and get a response out of more people. i gotta figure what spot is the best place to meet...or maybe just get a group together and go on an existing cruise/meet.
