Putting a 2zz into Starlet and cutting & Marking the positioning of the mounts (Engine Swap Series)

[@shyguy8426]

Sorry for the bad quality sound and picture, I used an alternative camera as my main one has broken. I hope to have this issue resolved by the next episode.

Glad to see another video from you man! Hope you are doing well after moving out off of your gfs place. Cant wait to see the video!

[@EP91STARLET]

Great video 👍🏻 when you were talking about the raised bits on the mount at the gearbox side, I made steel plate with captive nuts and welded them into the chassis for the mount to bolt onto. As if they were there from factory. I may do a more detailed video in future of the conversion

[@shyguy8426]

Yeah that sounds right, thanks for the tip for the mount. that is pretty much what we are going to do or something very similar. Sure mate, it would be interesting to see, your forum posts and video were very helpful to be fair.

Great swap mate! 2zzge is awesome engine!

[@shyguy8426]

Thanks mate, I have had some delays but I’ll get more progress done on the car real soon. We have already made the metal plates. Just need to weld them on :). Thanks for your comment 👍🏻

​@shyguy8426 good work is slow to become mate! good continuation with ease! if you have questions about this engine, you can contact me if I know, I have worked on it several times, but not on conversions, only on celica, corolla. now we made a celica ts with 100% stock internals and gtx2867 set up with 380hp

[@shyguy8426]

@@DimoS... Nice work, is that also on a stock c64 gearbox? I will definitely be Turboing this engine once I have a good foundation, after the swap. So I will most likely ask you for some tips soon :).

[@DimoS...]

@@shyguy8426 for 10,000 km but with torques above 350nm it cannot withstand, also the motor there is limited, it can produce hp but no torque, I believe that with a set up up to 300nm the c60 can withstand but it is better to put an e153 gearbox if go for a turbo, the motor comfortably withstands 400hp, the only thing that needs pistons is a compression ratio of 11.5:1, it does not withstand much boost, but it is bulletproof with the right program! now the car has e153

[@shyguy8426]

@@DimoS... good to know this, I really appreciate this info. Are the ratios of the e153 different? I was thinking if I change the gearbox that I would just go for a sequential gearbox. Also I thought that if I change pistons then i would either need to sleeve the block and or change the rods to fit the pistons
