    Thanks! The car is for a little bit of both. Will do some exterior/interior work on it but also want to get some power out of the 1zz and still have it as a DD.

    I'm a little undecided about that one. The 2zz does have more stock power but I heard many people prefer to go the 1zz route.....

    Sir, You don't know what you're talking about. It's not even worth doing the swap, at all. I don't care what you say/think. You have no idea how much work it is and how much it won't be worth to do. You're better off buying a Corolla XRS.

    Hmm... wheels because I did not like the look of the steelies that the car came with. The gauges are standard . I bought it new so didn't want to touch performance too much b/c of the warranty. Im working on sound right now; already replaced all the speakers for Xplods and have the subs ready to go in. Looking for a MEX-R5 head unti to put in it too!

    I know. I used to think the same but then saw this video:

    http://www.hassturbo.com/video/mr2/Jay-1129.mpg

    And now I wonder how much power I can get out of the car. I know it's not the same car and it is a lighter body thn the Corolla, but who knows I have always liked the 2zz though soo we'll see

    Just look at Lotus, Celica GT-S with the GReddy s/c, or check Hass for their setups.

    A guy on the 9thgencorolla forum has done the GReddy s/c setup for the Corolla XRS, but turbo is looking better at the moment.

    The 3s-gte swap does sound nice. I wonder if it has been ever done . And on top of that, how much would it be?

    you guys contacted dr. tweak? he did a 3sgte in the 6th gen celica.... anything can be done... it's just do you have the $$$$... 1zz is a good platform but limited same as the 2zz...

    and honestly i really don't think anyone has done a 3sgte in a corolla/matrix engine bay yet... at least not in a matrix...

    has been done a couple times in the ae101. my modle year corolla. and i am doing it aswell. As for cost it is about a 5k swap but worth every penny.

    lol?



    1ZZ-FE is in a lot of Toyotas... (MR-S, Celica, Corolla Matrix, Corolla)
    You can boost it with s/c or turbo , depending on what you like/need/want.


    Go to turbo-kits.com



    Anyways, welcome, go to 9thgencorolla.com ...lots of info about the 9thgen corolla there.

    I hope it is posible. The zz engines are very limited in power. The 3S-GTE has a lot more potential though. It would be nice to see if it can be done.

    What about the tC's engine, the 2AZ-FE? I know it is a N/A and it is the same Camry 4cyl engine, but there is a lot of aftermarket performance parts for it. I can't really tell if it is worth it or not though.

    If you want my honest opinion.... don't swap it. It is NOT worth swapping. Just find an XRS. Just get a turbo kit for your engine if you want some power/speed.
