    It's not bolt on, you need lots lots of custom work. You can ask Dr.T or Pete (supershyguy) about it, they both did that swap before.

    Swap can be done at our shop for around $5000, parts and labor.

    2ZZ is more powerful, s/c 1ZZ is nicer to drive around on the street though.

    TRD Supercharge/Turbo will be cheaper in this case? Is 2ZZ that great? Want to see Supercharge 1zz vs 2ZZ.

    Supercharge 99 Corolla

    Is there anyway to supercharge the 99 corolla (1zz-fe non vvti)? Like maybe fabricate the 03 TRD supercharger or is there a supercharger available for this engine?

    If that doesn't work is it possible to swap in the 03 1zz-fe and supercharger into the 99 body? will it fit?

    Cost of these options?

    Sorry for all the questions. I'm just thinking about this.

    It's possible, I'll be exploring the option more when I move into my new shop. I am also developing a turbo kit for the '98-'02 Corolla, the '00-'02 version will be available starting next month, I already have the parts here and a test car on the way:

    TTE and TRD both make supercharges for the 1zz...tte has one for the 2zz
    http://www.trdusa.com/SearchDatabaseResults.asp (trdusa search for supercharger)

    TTE has corolla (matrix) compressor with a 2zz, they also have supercharged 1zz's
    http://www.tte.de/

    Neither makes a turbo


    As to the swap...it should be pretty straight up as far as parts, considering the body style is the same and 05 rolla's come with 1zz or 2zz...there is an xrs rolla, just don't see 'em for some reason...and it is not a corolla type s

    i live in nyc. assuming i have a 2zz-ge engine for the swap, do you know any shop around this area to do the swap?

    also, is it worth it to do a tranny swap from AT to manual?
    i have an '01 corolla S.
