do a search on 2zz

markiii · March 22, 2006, 19:48

theres loads on this if you search,

however I'll make you a deal, if you stop the text talk I'll give you the answers

1. For lots of info look for a 22zz swap thread started by LeeUK
2. If your going to run the 2zzge (190bhp) engine then you will need the 2zz celica ecu or a complete standalone such as teh 2zzversion of the Apexi PFC
3. Wiring loom wise you use the roadster loom, but it will need modifying. The celica loom is too short to fit.
4. You will need a custom manifold, custom dipstick, 1 custom engine mount.

It has been done loads of times in the US but there is only 1 2zz swap in teh UK that I know of and that is JapGT300 (Adam).

you might also want to consider swappingin teh 6 speed box as teh 5 speed ratios aren't great with teh 2zz

It might be best to post your question in that thread, it keeps it all together. Then one of the mods can delete this thread.

Happened to me twice so far...

Mine uses oil - 1 litre every 1000 miles or so, but it seems quite a happy engine, smooth and quiet and pulls all the way to the rev limiter. One thing, I never use a lot of revs until the engine has warmed up. Oh, and my precats are gutted.
