Toyota 1.8l 2ZZGE
Didn't see this swap before:
http://racingbazar.com/de/racecars/o...-attack-205032 Engine is probably about 60 kg lighter than stock, rpm is higher (transmission deals with less torque in comparison) and max power (turboed) is probably about the same. |

I loved that engine in my old Celica. I can't believe someone swapped it in this chassis. I wish we had gotten a 2.0L version of it.

That's a bit of power out of that little mill.

I feel like a K20 would be better, but it is cool to see a Toyota engine in there.

people have done absolutely bonkers things with the 2zz's in the Lotus. Someone even twin charged one. Power claims ranged from 400-800 depending on where you find the info. Last edited by why?; 05-31-2020 at 04:03 PM. |

I've always thought about the 2zz in our car. Engine swapping something that is less powerful seems silly unless you have mad expendable cash though. Sure, if I had infinite money, mine would have a 2zz or a 3s-GTE. can't stand Subaru engines

Anything can be done with money like that guy, but then again, the guy was pulling the motor because he had metal in the oil pan, so reliability? K swaps are super common on the Lotus platform. Plus, the zz motors were designed to compete with the B18--not the K20. I just think there is more reliability, more cheap gains and more aftermarket support for a K swap.

FWIW
The reason why they selected a Toyota engine is probably related to the racing regulations. When an engine is swapped one can only use an engine from the same brand. |

Ronin's lotus was a beast! Interesting that they swapped a 2ZZ motor into the 86.

I built part of his engine. Ronin was nothing before he met me. One day he called me out of the blue and asked me to check his valve clearances. then he saw my custom return fuel system on my celica. I took him for a ride when I was making 550 to the wheels and he nearly shit himself. then I introduced him to my fabricator. It went downhill from there. We all built the Ronin beast.

Would be interested in seeing how they set this up if anybody still has pictures? 2zzge is, IMO, the best sounding 4-cylinder out there. |
