Other cars with the 2zz-ge


Recommended Posts

Looking at drag clips of the celica and trolling the newcelica.org forum for performance info I've know that the US market has the celica GT (1zz) and the GTS (2zz).

I've also found the US has the 'Matrix' and the 'Vibe' running the 2zz-ge. As do our domestic celicas and my S'tivo.

I'm wondering if anybody else knows of any other Toyotas (or other marques) that run the 2zz-ge anywhere else in the world. Surely there's knowledge to be gained from Europe, and who can tell me how the Asian 'Altis' fits in with the Corolla?

The list I have so far is:

Australia

-Corolla Sportivo

-Celica (all)

USA

-Matrix XRS

-Celica GTS

-Corolla XRS

-Pontiac Vibe GT

UK

-Corolla T-Sport

-Lotus Elise ('05 on)

-Lotus Exige ('05 on)

S.Africa

-RunX Rsi (Corolla Sportivo by another name)

-Toyota Will Vs

I'm compiling this list to make searching for info applicable to our Stivos more comprehensive.

Put the Corolla T-Sport, Lotus Elise and Exige under a heading of Europe or UK...

I understood that only the American Elise got the Toyota powerplant because Rover's "K" engine wouldn't pass emissions. I finally found something saying that they chose the engine change for all markets.

As a side note, the same engine is tuned to a number of different spec's and used in the recent MG F, which is selling second hand for under $30k now and if you get the 'VVC' (variable valve) model you'll find the APS workshop here in Melbourne will fit you out with a quad exhaust, supercharged fire-breathing MoTec tuned kit, drive-in-drive-out. If anyone cares. ;)
