So you beat ArmstrongRacing to the swap which got exposure as the first US 2ZR-FE powered Yaris http://www.subcompactculture.com/201....html?m=1#more

Canada TRUMPS the United States (see what I did there)

lets see some pictures!!!

All xd in Canada used a second generation immobiliser system so all the keys have a small G in graved on the key,my yaris had a first generation so it has a dot in graved on the key,couldn't get the old generation immobiliser to work with the xd ecu ,so just ended up getting a xd immobiliser ,xd computer and xd keys(chip is different). As for the shift cables yes xd cables are the only ones that work properly. It turns out the dimensions of the subframe are similar from what i figured,only difference is the xd subframe looks more reinforced,both cars even have same wheel base,so I also ended up using the xd sway bar as well ,it's thicker by a couple of mm.the distance of the sway bar is the same,both use same control arms ,knuckles and struts.so it possible to do a five bolt hub conversion as well ,only if you wanted to.

The pictures are crap ,taken with crappy cell phone camera,also I don't have an Xd air box ,using a corolla air box for now.

Yeah, I think yours was finished around the end of July, 2014.

All vehicles build after 08/2007 in Canada are required to have an immobilizer, this includes Yaris and xD models. We didn't have xD until 2011, however ours did have immobilizer.

After some research found that on immobiliser and non immobiliser engine wiring harness are the same but the body wiring harness is different,figure there is something in the harness that tells the engine ECU that there is a immobiliser ecu.

Yes, the engine harness and engine ECU are the same for vehicles with and without immobilizer. All of the changes are on the body harness side. On froger's car he tried to remove the immobilizer wires heading into the ECU and disconnecting the immobilizer on the body side. According to all of the published wiring diagrams, everything was as it would be on a Yaris without immobilizer, however the ECU (from a non-immobilizer car), still threw a code for immobilizer.

Ended up using a 2011-12 xD 2ZR-FE engine ECU, 2011-2014 xD/Yaris Sedan immobilizer ECU with the newer 3rd-gen immobilizer keys ('G' mark - 89785-08040) to match the vehicle. May have been able to keep using the original immobilizer system if done properly, however I cannot recall what the issue with that was off the top of my head. I think froger just wanted to be sure and so he made everything match.

Yeah, the ZSP90 Yaris (factory 2ZR-equipped Yaris) used the same shift cables as the xD, so the xD cables were the proper ones to use. The NCP Yaris cables are shorter for sure.

This is not applicable to those just swapping in the 2zr and keeping the Yaris C50. If you use the Yaris trans and mounts, the stock shift cables are fine.

It is applicable if using the 2ZR mounts, even if keeping the Yaris C50. Obviously if you keep using the 1NZ mounts the transmission will still be in the correct location to keep using the original cables.
