2GR Engine swap with EB60 gearbox = no cutting rear subrame build video!

Ah- you need to look at the bigger picture.  Ie the whole car! You're looking for a Lexus rx350.

Or any the jap imports that had them. Start on wiki for the 2GR and look at the models it came in.

Depending on the availability and number of engines + boxes I can try to work something out for us. Meaning we would have to wait for 2 months for the engines to come to EU but wont pay any import taxes. Then its just shipping from Bulgaria to you.

That may be the way to go....

Hi, back here after some years now, and exited to read this tread!

Regarding the Avensis/Rav/3ZR EB60, can you convert the bellhousing to fit a leftside mounted starter?
Like Paul Woods do on the EA6x transmission?

Cut a hole, weld some plates, how difficult can it be;-)

[J88TEO]

If one knows how to weld alu then it is easy.....

You guys see the nifty video on the "money change" lockout he made.. was pretty cool

I'm no expert so don't shoot me down but I thought Patrick Chamber had done an EB60 conversion? I'm sure the last time I visited him he said it was the way forward as the EB60 gearbox uses 3 rows of cogs not two, and therefore this allows for thicker cogs, and this box was used in the 2.2 turbo diesel,(Auris makes 400Nm).

I'd be interested to see an EB60 opened up.

I don't know if the Mr2 LSD would fit?

ummm... please could you find out more/ confirm this?

You are mixing the EA and EB gearboxes.
EA is a superstrong box used in diesels and the Lotus Evora.
Been used in auris, avensis, rav +++ since 2005.
A big and heavy box, 60kg+
EB is a box used in 2 and 2,5 litre gasoline engines, and are better suited for a sportscar. Better gearing and shift feel.

and back to the beginning again.. ergh..

Sorry to drag an oldish thread up.

I've picked up an EA60 gearbox to look at how it might mount to a 2zz (I have spare broken engins to play with)

Marc and anyone else usi g this box, how did you go about the linkages.

I've looked at using evora linkages but it gets expensive very quickly.

Looks like they run the cables past the box and back again.
