celica GT-S motor in a corolla, possible?

ok if you havent read my other thread already, i fucked my motor up bad...so i need a new motor...why should i spend 1000 dollars on a 1zz-fe if i could get the 2zz for a couple of hundred more...other than haveing to rig up some new motor mounts and getting an ecu do you think that a 2zz will work in a corolla...and bolt up to the 1zz tranny....any thoughts?

Here is his original thread with pics and what not:

can someone put this in the FAQ section?

i would like to talk to this dr. tweak if possible this sounds interesting

i say do it if you have the know how but if not dont attempt it

very good find thanks again man...there is hope for my rolla after all

it's an 03 right? What did you do to it man?? And I would imagine the 2zz should fit right into a 03+ quite easily, considering you can get it from the factory now lol xrs lol. I would recommend biting the bullet and getting the 6spd too because the 2zz isn't meant for the tall gears of the corolla 5spd tranny. That tranny is meant for fuel economy, not performance.

well the only reason im researching this route is because my 1zz that is currently in my car now is on life support...meaning it will die in about 2-3 months . so i am just researching other options rather than selling my car for parts

Everything is possible...research is the key and experiment is anything.Didt you try thinking of swapping a celica gt motor instead,its 5spd.Just trying to give you other option beside the 2zz.

If your engine is on life support you can always rebuilt it with better components and maybe turbo it. The celica GT engine is more or less the same as the original engine.

update on cars condition***

well yesterday i took my car to gault for a compression test and the results were not good at all....2 bent rods and valve train problems . so she is definatly at the end of her life, for now . i spoke to my insurance agent and he told me that flood damage was covered under "no fault" insurance, so ill i will have to pay is a 500 dollar deductable to pay for the cost of fixing my car....either 2 things could happen

1. my car can be conciderd totalled i.e i get a fat check for 10k
or
2. i will get a check for the repairs which was estimated at somewhere near 3-4k including parts and labor...what i will then do with that money is buy a 1zz off line for 500 and have someone install it for me for another 500 leaving me with 2-3k in my pocket..btw this is not insurance fraud, its just being smart

now what should i do with that money left over? i know what you are going to say turbo or sc/er...but i was really concidering investing it

it was in a flood sucked a metric shit ton of water into my engine threw the CAI

yup <img src="http://vvti.net/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Smile" /> bolts right in and has 15 extra factory hp <img src="http://vvti.net/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Smile" /><br />

turbo is a possibility but im not going to let anything out of the bag yet

The celica gt has 140hp and 03+corolla has 130hp.

whoever said the 03's are the same as the 05, ur not totally correct. i have an 05 and a lot of things are re-arranged in the engine compartment along with a lot of other little things.

Biggest difference on the 05's from the 03's -04's is the drive by wire for the throttle, but I am sure there are tons of other little changes/differences.

under powered...170? compaired to the GT-S 190<br />
<br />
<br />
and for 20k i am NOT going to get a corolla....i would rather get a used STi my friend is selling for 22k with mods. or a used WRX

get a XRS...you'll get the 2zz motor with the car for about $20k.

xrs is a good buy

celica gts 180hp.i rather get a used celica gts instead of the corolla xrs...
