Has Anyone Fit A 2ZZ In AE92?

[Donald]

Depending on the model, the GZE only ranges between 135 and 165hp, but GAWD the torque!!!

That is another one of my considerations, but those engines will all probably have many miles on them.
If I could get a 1ZZ or 2ZZ for a few hundred more, and not have to spend 5 months doing the swap, that might be the way I go.
The GZE is definitely an easier swap though.

The AE92 was sold with the GZE in Japan.

There was a third gen. 4A-GZE engine that was used in the AE101 GT-Z that even had 175bhp!
Slap an oversized pulley on it and you're on your way to 200bhp!

And that is with that awefull intake manifold still in place

Those are crank ratings right?

yeah, it's toyota crank hp (aka useless )

Yes, those are the factory (crank) number indeed. (as are the 145bhp and 165bhp) for the comparison

Yeah, but it is still a bit more than 115 crank hp of a 16V 4A-GE, and oooooooohhh, so much more torque.

my 20V has lots of torque above 4200 rpm

I drove in a Corolla AE82 with 4A-GZE of a friend of mine a while ago and we kind of played with a other clubmember with his Corolla AE101 Blacktop on the highway. Trust me...The Blacktop wasn't able to keep up, even at high RPM's

By the way, although not a AE92...still a very nice car! The AE82 with the GZE:

My main reason for interest in these engines is that parts for them can be had here, unlike parts for a 20V. But a 20V or a GZE would be much cheaper.[/quote]

20v are very common over here nowadays, parts can be had easily. At least finding parts for me was, as well as the gze.

I was pondering the 2zz as well but you might as well swap in a 3sgte for the price of it, never mind boosting the 2zz on top of that price. Your going to be in for at least 3-4 g's by the time its running. There is a good write up about a guy who did the swap into a mk1 mr2 somewhere on the web.

You'll have to sort out a gauge cluster swap or try and re-use whatever car your swapping it into original sensors and wires into the 2zz's wiring harness, then tach signal, speedo as ae92 uses a mechanical sender, although there are other wires to hack into to get a vss the 2zz might need a different signal to the ecu, the exhaust fires on the firewall side so custom downpipe to clear the steering rack, 2zz uses a return-less fuel system so you'll have to adopt the sender in your tank or make a custom fuel rail and pressure reg, then axles if they don't line up, engine mounts, etc..

Your best bet is to find a complete write off at an auction so you have access to a intact harness, cluster and all the other bits that would nickle and dime you to death later on. In the end I do not see anyone states side spending this kind on money on a ae92 but would love to see it done. I might in the future but have other projects on the go for now.

Mk1 MR-2 with a 2ZZ swap. AE92 should be pretty similar.
