faster engine?

[drift4fun]

Hey people whats up. Well here's the deal I am prob. getting my bro's 2000 corolla ce in a couple months when he buys a prerunner, and i wanted to do an engine swap cause well frankly they have slow engines and i want something a little faster. I thought maybe like a 2002 celica gts engine but i wanted to get some feedback from some other people....any suggestions on what to swap in?

Well you could drop in a 4A-GE.
You have either a 4A-FE 1.6l or 7A-FE 1.8l

I think the '02 Celica GTS engine is the 2ZZ-GE?
Someone correct me if Im wrong.
I don't think that motor would be easy to swap, but im sure it's possible.
Personally I think your best bet would be to drop in a 4A-GZE.
The swap would cost <$2k and would get you 150-165hp stock (depending on which car the motor comes out of), with the ability to get more horses fairly easily.
You could also drop in a 4A-GE20v which will get you between 150-165hp also depending on where the motor came from.

Actually, all of the MY 2000 Corollas in the U.S. came with a 1ZZ-FE with VVT-i...

No you can't.. the 2000 is a ZZE Corolla, meaning it came with a 1ZZFE not an A series motor, he could do a 4AGE swap but the engine mounts are different, so you would have to build custom mounts. It be easier just to do a 2ZZGE swap like Dr Tweak has done before than trying to fit an 4A motor.

[SpeedballTrix]

Yeah, idk why I thought the 2000 had an A series in it.
That was dumb on my part =P

Stay with the z's man, throw that 1.8 yamaha co-produced engine in the corolla and if it's a five speed even better.

was wondering myself if its a good place or not
if its good product or not

Yeah that's the most obvious engine to swap in, but it depends on what kind of budget you've got. Check out the links in my sig.
