new corolla engine

[JJCRU23R]

I dont recall this question being asked previously, but how do the new corolla engines rate against the previous generations 1zz's?

im assuming they must have improved fuel economy some how, but the question im really wondering is... would it be easier said than done to swap a 2003 1zz engine and put in place the current corolla engine?

(just 4 future reference when my car is a few years older.. little more worse for wear)

or would this end up as complicated as swapping a 1zz for the sportivo 2zz... meaning you might as well just buy a sportivo instead of doing the engine swap.

if you got a frontcut of a 2zr then it would be achievable.

Biggest issues would be the looms/DBW.

Far cheaper to throw a fresh 1ZZ in if you kill your current engine. 1ZZ's are plentiful at the wreckers.
