Celica Forums General Discussion General japan 2zz engine, were to buy

I was wondering if any one knows were i migh be able to pick up the japanese version of the 2zz motor the one with 13.5:1 compression and all im very interrested in putting one in a crx or a civic hb

from Japan...

lol now you a funny guy... no i mean like is there a company other then toyota i can call or a website any one knows of i can go to for pricing and specs

drop a 2zz engine in a honda?? whoa I havent heard that one

why would you want a 2zz? why not a k20?

why not pay even more and get a k22? haha

lol because its been done and acually are race crew is in the process of dropping a rsx-s k motor (i really dont know much about them) into a civic si hb right now should be done in about 3 weeks...but we are looking for something completely different to do and we figured a import 2zz motor in a gutted crx would make a rather impressive 1/4 car

yes it would light weight car with a high reving mid range motor. let us know how it goes also. seems like itll be a interesting swap

call trial they should help you with that

you should try that new honda motor thats out right now, i think it has like 270 hp stock to the crank, its called the beast or someshit!!

Japan

is that by Dart motors or by jg edelbrock i forgot

Call Jarco, they should be able to hook you up.

wow, i've never heard of this swap. post updates when you finish this project

A new SI? or an old SI? The new SI is shit. Sorry...but Sport Compact car TOTALLY stripped one down and only brought it down to 2560lbs... POS!

How bout we not put a Toyota engine in a Honda... something tells me that would be wrong!!!

Cause it's still gonna be a Honda...

Do what ya want if you like it thats all that matters... and good luck with it

The stock 2ZZ in Japan is not 13.5:1 CR.

don't taint a toyota engine by dropping it into a honda, please...

The japanese 2zz-ge motors are the exact same as the USA 2zz-ge.
I know you're probably thinking about that extra
"10hp" but in reality it's the same shit.
The japanese ecu is tuned for higher octane gasoline and because emissions are different than there which accounts for the US vs JAPAN power difference.

another one of these "I wish I wanna dream about a motor swap"

good luck with it, have fun, and keep us updated

why don't you slap a big ass sticker on the window that reads "Cadillac," some lambo doors, and what the hell a giant antenna like on farm trucks it'll be sweet!!!

All the places that import Japan engines that I checked don't have 7th gen celica motors at all.

first of all, the compression on the 2zz motors in japan arent that high. if you want that high of a compression, make sure ur never gonna put Turbo on it. if you want a natural aspirated car, then raise the compression as much as you want. IF U REALLY wanna do this swap, you dont have to get the engine shipped from japan, just get the ones you got around u, monkeywrench has some stuffs to raise ur engine compression, and get a power FC so you can tune the car the way you want. wut i dont really understand is that why arent you dropping a k20 engine in it? you said bcz ur friend has it, but keep a honda a honda. a honda with toyota engine sounds like a transexual. plus the k20 engine responds better with mods, so ull be benefited when you add Intake exhaust and all that. if you really wanna do it as a project, thats cool and fun, but k20 has a better powerband while the celicas is more unbalanced. plus ur gonna have some understeer when the engine is revving high. you know, the common problem with front wheel drive powerful cars, then you gotta spend some shitload of money for some nice suspension and strut braces.
its possible, its costy, and its a little crazy, but if you wanna do it for fun, go for it and let us know wut happens.

the engine someone was saying to drop in is " The Beast SX20 " which goes for $10,000 US & has 270 hp @ the fly wheel & 187 f/lb torque.

the engine to drop in that CRX your thinking of doing is actualy the F24 " Frankenstein " which is a Honda CRV block with a Accura RSX Type S head on it ... suposivly even more modable & capable of getting into the 400 hp range with Turbo's added to it ...

It's K24 noob.

And there's only one of them that's been completed. I hope you know enough about te K-series to be able to do a DIY frankenstein that no individual has ever done before.

damn i was sure i read some where that they had a 2zz motor that was 13.5:1 comp but i could have miss read it...i do apprecaite all the info you all have given me and it will help in my ultimate decision as this is a winter project car for me:) being i live in alaska thats like 7 months of tinkering in the garage hahahaha but on another note this is only going to to be a 1/4 track car no turns no crap just raw hp from point a to point b and no Turbo we are going all motor...i will try and keep you all updated on the civic si swap but as i said that isnt my project so i havent been following it to closely

they do just call trial usa, they sell it with that high of a ratio
