Engine Will This Work

Will This Work

OK My cousin just bought a junk xA and the engine is cracked the cars bumpers are totalled and the 17" are scraped badly but he did get it for $300 at an auction he is asking me if he can fit a 1ZZ corolla engine there?, or should he just rebore the 1.5 to a 1.8or9 1NZ? please tell me if someone had tried this before and if its gonna fail and also my cousin swaps honda engines so he has nothing on Toyotas and yes this will be my first engine swap.

"DR Tweak help me out!"
your the master swapper

just think clearance issues and engine mounting.

the engine bay space is so small you are probably best modifing the stock motor.

if the block is cracked you wont be reboring it

it might but i think you may have to check the electronics system, if you get that schematic it may work. it may be minor differences between the two but you are probably better off modifying the stock motor.

Yeah we opened the engine and the problem was just a cracked piston sleeves and the 2nd cylinder is the one that got the crack its this previous owner who street raced an xA is the one responsible for all this but it does have nice stuff in it like a Greddy engine mapper, AEM CAI, a Twin custom borla exhaust a 4-2-2 custom header with ceramic coating, and a full size spare tire with Goodyear Eagle. and yes this are the bad ones it has a used condom on the glovebox a pink thong with cum on it with a matching bra, no side mirrors entire front end is scraped and cracked, dust everywhere and a f**ked up engine. But all in all we had a good project car at a price of a PSP with accessories and 1 game. ;-) and yes we are just going to rebore the pistons to 1.8 and put a custom turbo,4 Bride Racing seats and a Pacific Blue paint job its a black xA now,a nice clarion enterntainment system and a PS3 when it comes out, and sorry my cuz dont want to take a picture because he is going to ship it to the Philippines and use it as a show car he doesnt want people to know its a piece of junk b4.

The swap is possible. People had swapped a 2zz into an Echo.

We checked at Toyota a 1ZZ-FE cost 6000 dollars and the parts guy didnt tell if its used or new and were just going to fix it for also $6000 including mods and a paint job

Or if your some of you are selling a 1ZZ for a reasonable price tell us as long as its not totalled.

Check out 9thgencorolla, I remember someone was selling a 1zz. Im sure it was less than 6 Gs.

man it would want o get rid of my other two blocks but it was hell coming across the current engine i have right now so won't get rid of them, even though its tempting.6K dollars gets you a new engine though they were only charging me 3850 brand new and installed with 3/36K mile warranty at the dealer.

More Stuff He Bought

How come its a hell lot cheaper there at texas?
Here in las vegas it they give you fucked up prices.

But still where just going for the newer cracked engine, and we just ordered the sparco torino seats for $599ea we bought just 2 and just going to redo the upholstery to match the sparcos its in navy blue, plus 230 dollars for the 4point seatbelts and we also kept the old 3Points, got the scion leather steering wheel in grey,9 seat belt pads 6front,3rear, race pedals in blue and 2 floor grips,the new alarm system arrived already it has a cellphone like remote and can start the engine remotely it also came with a RC trunk opener, lock/unlock, valetO/R
but still you cant control cars like bond does. and thats probably it for now and its my turn to buy the other mods coz my cuz is already broke I have to clean the entire xA, buy the HID lights,fog lights/driving lights, neon, i got to pay for the paintjob, new shift knob, tintjob, turbo-why me?, and more stuff i might give that car. and my cuz really isnt broke he loaned $7000 at NavyFCU they gave him a nice rate cause his in the navy

i have no idea why but it was for the entire engine. that was what i was quoted for. he has Navy FCU or you? yeah you do get good rates if you can call it that, hehe.have fun fixing it up because you gonna need the time and definately the money from what it sounds like.

lets see some pics... before and after type thing... you should make this project xA .. oh and I know a web site where sombody would pay top dollar for said panties and bra... *shutters at the thought*

Sorry But No Pics I Know It Suck!

If it was only my xA id be glad to give you a pic but, no this is my 30 yr old cousins car but i did get a $3000 loan for its accessories, and his part is $7000 and also he told me never to get a picture of it, although I have 3 good cameras: a KonicaMinolta 8mp SLR with a 300mm lens, a Panasonic Lumix FZ5 and a Pentax 3.2mp waterproof camera, but i can get a pic of my ride and share it to you.
But not project "Thong" its the xA my cuz's idea not mine i want it to be project iST but its his car mostly his money and the title is on his name
sorry but i can take pictures of it when he ships it to the philippines next month and his going to show it off at a show it will take a long time.

But for now we need the time to fix it. also can i really sell those underwear we found?, we still have it inside the glove box;-)

Post the underwear on ebay, you never know!

aint there a rule on ebay about used personal belongings? and besides that underwear is just from a bitch, its not like its from paris hilton or jessica simpson.

And we just got the 1NZ from the machine shop its a 1789cc engine now and the turbo we ordered at hopup will take long to arrive so no turbo for like 2 or more weeks, I also got the car washed the exterior,cleaned the interior and got the bodykit out also its on 4 jack stands and 2 3ton hydro jacks.

don't have to sell it on ebay... there are plenty of other sites... and sick-os who will buy it

HEY PROJECT "THONG" IS 85% DONE

BECAUSE WE STILL CANT GET THE ENGINE MAPPING RIGHT WE NEED A JAPANESE GUY WHO SPECIALIZES ON iSTs in Japan THE ENGINE IS STILL KNOCKING BECAUSE THE FUEL/AIR MIXTURE IS NOT RIGHT YET. AND IS THE HARNESS ON THE COROLLA,CELICA GT ECU MATCH THE ONE ON xA???

i don't think so, try another vehicle that has that same harness (echo).

but it also has a 1.5, we need something that has 1.8 and also the xA ECU is sport tuned while the Echo doesnt have that

yeah but ur only changing the harness not the ecu are you? anything you need you can get from a donor car such as a celica gt, Corolla, elise, and the newer gen rollas depending on what exactly you are looking for.

Im just looking for either a Celica Gt or CorollaS the ECU I mean and I'll just use the stock harness on the xA.
Im looking for a used one at a local junk shop but the mexican guy is asking $800 for it and its from a celica GT whos rear ends really smashed by a tailgating ford truck, do you think $800 is a good deal for a used one?

is it for the entire car? if it is then yeah i guess, BTW what difference does it make if you use a ECU from a GT or a Rolla 01 and up all models(according to generation) make the same power except for the XRS of course. also you should change the title to "Project Speedy Thong", hehe.

I just saw this thread. Sure, you could fit a 1ZZFE in there. You'll have to figure out the axles and mounts, as well as the wiring. You should be able to pick up a good used 1ZZFE for around $300.

But I see that you've decided to go a different route anyway.

-Doc

no ur right he is going with a 1zzfe from what it seems. since he is not using parts from an ECHO.

Yeah I'm not really sure, I saw the words "used condom" and got all confused...

HAHA hey man gotta think things though, hehe, i was confused as well when i read it for the first time.

Well the xA still has the 1NZ but its been bored and the pistons have been changed also the engine is done with precision so its good there.

The only thing we need to do now is the ECU tuning which will be better if i use the ECUs of the 1ZZ so we can get an advantage, bcoz we aint doing the whole stock ECU again, we'll just change the ECU and use the following: unichip, turbo timers for the Turbonetics turbo and a maybe get the Greddy ECU mapper for different driving situations,

but I hope they make a computer like the one for the GT-R34 Skyline, i know they do make one but its not as good as the R34s, also the xA is close to done we just need to do the following ECU, Turbo install,and Pacific Blue Metallic paintjob, the one from the R34,a custom alarm system the one thats shocks you and also frame the used thong then its off to the port to be shipped to the Philippines I'll tell you the build cost when we get it shipped
BTW the xA is not mine so I cant take a picture, my cuz said its "badluck"..crazy guy its even in his garage if its in mine I'll take a hundred pics of it and send it all over the net including here.

NOPE ITS JUST FOR THE ECU but I saw i think its the same size as "Thong's" ECU but with a different program, His just getting the 05GT ecu tommorow at Toyota he doesnt care how much I just gave the Car Racing seat, pads pedals ST shifter and a Suspesion kit from TRD cost me more than $2K I think that car will cost like a new Scion xA when completed
