First US 2ZR-FE Yaris swap gains exposure

Awesome. Major kudos for taking the leap and being the first to try this swap.

I'm confused though - did the Yaris' transmission work out?

Also, any pics of the completed swap?

Still working on getting another 2zr for r&d, ill let you guys know about the trans when I get there. I didnt take many pictures of the swap, sorry. The pictures on SubCompact is all Ive seen since.

Pretty cool project. If the 2ZR has as much potential as the 1NZ it should be really fast once you start tweaking on it.

I agree, and being that the Lotus exige has a supercharged 2zr....we know there is an aftermarket for these engines already.

From my conversations with RagnaCat (PR, 2ZR swap) about gearboxes, the drive shafts are different on the transmission side. I've got a few different stock differentials (minus ring gears) in my parts bins, and I know how to rebuild a C5x gearbox, so this wouldn't be an issue for me. If you want it to be plug and play, you really need an xD MT as a donor. As far as I can tell, the bell housings are compatible, assuming that the starters are in the same spot.
