Engine head swap???

head swap???

let me know what u guys think. i think this engine has dual vvt-i, as in intake and exhaust

Bore x stroke [mm]

2ZR-FE
80.5 x 88.3

1ZZ-FE
79.0 x 91.5

nvm. it probably wont work if you consider the bore/stroke. but if its possible it would increase the c/r, since the stroke is shorter on the 1ZR-FE, which would boost power.

Moved to a more approriate section, sinces theres more of a tech question in there.

As for swapping the heads, I wouldn't count on it.

The engine doesn't seem that impressive for a *new* engine, considering (in Japanese specs) it will make 136hp versus the 132 from the 1ZZ-FE and I doubt they'll improve the fuel economy that much (the 1ZZ-FE already gets great fuel mileage), the only plus on the engine seems to be lower emissions, and the fact that is has Dual VVT-i (intake/exhaust) versus the Exhaust side only VVT-i on the 1ZZ-FE.

yea the more i think about it the less likely it seems. but we'll see...

3 cylindar?

the picture makes it look like a 3 cylindar, lol
