Ive already found a shop that is interested in doing it, but they havnt come with a ballpark figure for such a swap, they havnt done anything this tight and unique before. But they have done a ton of Honda swaps, and some oldschool 350 Small Block, '91 Celicas.

Ill have to get with them to double check if the 4age Silvertop with a 6-speed would be more feasable on a budget, only thing is, older motor in a newer car....



But I would love a 2zz, just dont think its totally do-able especially if you plan adding a Turbo or major bolt-ons. Not to mention the 4age has a TON of upgrades. But same goes for the 2zz, I guess its all what can be in reach of your Budget...

Big money = Big swap.

what is your budget? I will tell you where to get the donor car for the 2zz with in that budget..... also... it will fit, Thomas said they are doing those swaps in Thailand for about $4000 USD for new 2zz motors....

I dont even want a new motor. Just one with like 15k miles, just past the broken in period.

I was looking to pay around 3.5k total, the same you would get with a Turbo kit, all around, a turbo kit would cost in an area of about 4k after you get the clutch, and everything, plus install.

Hell I can get you in under $4000, I am sure... www.copart.com find a location near you where you can pick up a donor car, it has to be picked up by a towtruck, and you have to pay, cash, certified check or moneyorder. You can not buy from the site, but I can.... just tell me when, and which auction to start watching and I will get you a car with in your budget

when you change the engine you change the engine management to match, no problem

Why don't we first figure out if the 2ZZ'll fit in the first place? I was contemplating this. But if the 2ZZ would require custom fab, then I might as well invest in putting in a B18.
