Hey ya all, This is a bit of a funny one i know.

Just wondering what it take to give a '04 sedan a 2zzfe engine, ie engine swap, comp, exhaust and will i need to get the thing engineered?

Or would it be cheaper to work the 1zzfe?

PM Northy for the price of a 2ZZ-GE but I thought it was around $10K with box, but I dont know if that was fitted or not, but bearing in mind you may then need to do brakes and stuff... (help me out here rollamods :D )

Some guys are doing Cold Air, and Exhaust with other little works and ggetting good results from the 1ZZ....

How about getting the TRD supercharger for it ? It'll still end up being slightly cheaper than swapping to a 2zz-ge and you'll have great low down power along with a decent hp increase. I think Penrith toyota can order it in and install it. Last time i checked, it was 6grand to get it ordered in (full kit iirc).

But yeah i reckon it might be a bit too expensive atm, just interested in the concept

Azza, i think i know the one you're talking about. Saw it on carsales ages ago and it's still up on there i think. The owner is a member of this forum from what i've read.

If i had enough money to do a 2zz conversion, i personally would go for the supercharger add on instead hrmm.

yes ... i love the shape too .. and im sure if they had brought out a hatch and sedan version we'd see a few more sedans around compared to now ..

too bad they didnt ...

and yes .. ive thought about that concept too ........... here is the other question ... if you were going to do an engine conversion like that ... would the 2zz be your choice of engine ???? why be limited to a 2zz ??? :spiteful:

hmm, true but i was in the belief that i would not need to get a engineering cert for it if i went with the 2zz

But that is not founded by anything

buy a complete damaged sportivo at the Auctions for $7-10K, $1500 worth of tools, and swap everything into your sedan.

you got to think of re sale value too

Anyone that plans on resale value is a nong... :P

I would say rollamods had the best idea if you want some oomph in a sedan....get a wreck, invest in the tools and do a swap. Should be able to get everything for a decent price...

Thanks Egg, I remembered Grimlock's name the minute I turned my computer off.... DOH!!!!!!!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
