6G Celicas Forums

i have decided to put off the v6 for now and i'm going to put a 2zz into my project celica.
i will be posting pics as i get more and more into it.
in the next couple days i'll have the 5s out and be picking up the 2zz and 6 speed trans. i can't wait to get this going
and be the first of its kind. gonna be fun making the custom mounts and doing the wiring though! but yay for originality!
(:


my thoughts on this swap go from the facts that the 7th gen 2zz engine is known to be a powerhouse, along with the facts

that there is so much aftermarket support for it and parts are fairly cheap but very easy to get at a moments notice!

what do you think?

beams blacktop into 6gc its been done here on the st182 :

since the 2zzge is returnless fuel line and as well is the beams blacktop its the same crap.

but your best bet would probably be buy a 3sge redtop, get the internals from a beams blacktop and then buy an aftermarket aem standalone ecu.

you'd be at 220hp and about 30 more lbs of torque over the 2zzge.

whats youtube?

270whp on a k20, and I needed a supercharger to make 230 on a 2zz(no cams)

but thats not my only reason for saying it. K20 is a better designed motor, better transmission.

Either way I think its a bad ass idea. I would never do it, because I rather make power than be different(3sgte) but to each their own.
Good luck dude

With bolt ons and a tune, we managed to hit over 200hp no internals. Not all k20s are a greater designed for the k20a3 had much lower hp and redline than the rest of the fleet. The other k20 does have a better foundation that didn't start till after the 2zz was produced.
And I see the 2zz most compared to the b-series engines.

But yes, the 2zz isn't best choice for this car

C-Lara you are right, 2ZZ is supposed to be competition for the B18C, the Integra GSR engine. In fact, VVTL-i was introduced exclusively in the 2ZZ to be Toyota's take on Honda's VTEC (which includes variable valve timing and lift, aka VVTL)

VTEC is not the same as VVT-i, because VTEC is a fixed increase/decrease in valve timing and lift, while VVT-i is continuously variable valve timing. With the VVTL-i, variable lift was introduced as well.

Then Honda made i-VTEC which is the same as VVTL-i, where the timing is continuously variable and has lift increase as well.

good luck, gonna take a while
