primarily for conversation...
seeing as the 2AZFE has assumed the role of replacement for the 5SFE, and it is similar in application and displacement....how feasible/worthwhile is a swap in your opinion? i got to thinking about it because it is a much better 6-speed option than the peaky, fragile 2ZZ. based on a quick browse on ebay, the highest price i found for the motor itself was $1700. and for pete's sake, don't be obnoxious. -------------------- ![]() do you know who i am, mr. worley? |

2AZ is cheap now, compared to when this thread was made. It's also plentiful.
I read "2AZ will not make power" but personally I've been in 2AZ turbo Scion tC's with 12-14psi of boost from a Big 16g pushing 320whp, running on a piggyback ECU as well lol. No way in hell a 3SGTE or a 5SFE will produce that kind of power with that turbo at that boost level. It's simply a newer, better designed (than the 5SFE and probably better than the 3SGTE old gens) and more readily available engine. However nobody has ever tried swapping it into a 6GC, which is a pity. If I had the funds I would go ahead and try fitting the engine and transmission for a tC in there. The mounts for the transmission (front and rear) look similar to what the s54 mounts look like, so I'm willing to bet it could be put in with some modification. -------------------- 1993 Celica GT Coupe - sold
