THE 2ZRFE engine swap thread - Just the facts

[cerberii]

please post pics of the actual swap, putting the motor in, etc, excellent build thread, look forward to seeing how it actually looks with this motor inside it! Is the fuel pump enough not to starve this motor? Have you worn through axleshafts quicker?

All of the 2ZRs that we are aware of will fit, since they have the same mounting points. The difference in rated hp has more to do with the intake and exhaust setup on the specific vehicle, and possibly the tune in the ECU. I have looked at the Corolla turbo package from TKC and it seems like it could be modified to fit our engine bay. The base kit there is rated for 220 bhp.

As far as anyone can tell, yes. The chassis is the same on all of the USDM variants. We've had different results with the engine mounts on specific vehicles, so your mileage may vary. =)

There's a few threads out here already. Check out brushforhire's, ArmstrongRacing's, TMontague's and my thread for details. It's really pretty straightforward, so not a lot of pictures have been taken during the physical installation. I absolutely recommend pulling the front clip to do the swap, as well as partially dropping the sub-frame. It looks like a stock motor in the engine bay as well, so not a lot of pictures of that either. =D
