MAKE THE CELICA GREAT AGAIN! \m/ Nice work sir

I was worried about getting my ps pump back in after the fun I had getting it out, now no worries, thanks again for another great video, nice job.

Couldnt thank you enough appreciate you for doing this video for the community.

awesome info as usual, laughed a few times with the voice overs reminded me of things id forget or encounter.

Another great video! I watched some of his other videos and it helped me replace my engine in my gts!!! Thanks again Scott! I put an engine from an automatic gts into my 6 speed gts!

Just picked up my first GTS. It’s an 02 6 speed but it’s wa babied. I’ll be doing lift bolts and lift filter screen cleans. Hopefully no metal. Thanks dude between you and there’s another kid whose ripping these apart off I’ve been inspired to work on these beauties. It’s a great hobby and reasonably affordable. By the way my GTS only has 105K and It’s been garage kept so I’m in ricerocket heaven.

I have a 2zz already and I still watched and enjoyed the video

Wow great 4 videos on the Cecil gt engine swap, before watching i was thinking it was time to sell ii off.. Thinking now is engine swap to a 2zz !! Thank you 👍👍👍👍

Thanks for posting Celica repair videos...your tips really helped!! My brother and I managed to get through repairing mine after I bent it badly in the beginning of October. I got lucky in that an identical black car showed up at the junkyard while I was trying to choose between a silver and a red one from which to rob parts!

I just bought a Toyota Celica, this is absolutely on my list of things to do

Thank you for sharing this!

Because of your first 3 videos, how to swap 2zz on a Celica GTS you made previously, i'm going to fallow your step by step guide and try to swap my engine this next summer... thanks man !

I like to watch videos like these right before I get dental work done. It just makes sense to me.

3 versions in the UK ,no GT or GTS. VVTI 143 bhp Tsport VVTLI 190 bhp then the VVTLI GT 190 bhp ,this has a factory trd body kit and lowered suspension and some nice rims . they all look better spec the the US versions, 17 inch rims as standard, not a drum brake to be seen on the rears bigger rotors on the front why that was? no idea sorry ,, thx for the celica content ,good stuff ,, greetings from England

Thanks for what you do!

Thanks alot sir, very helpful!

For someone with mot many subscribers this video sure does have a great quality.

Thanks my friend, there were many questions answered in this video 👍

I could absolutely use your help figuring out why my celica runs bad after putting a built head on it stuck out here by myself lost

thaks alot this video realy help me and now i got alot of things clear

Good job!

Great job. I am looking to do the same thing to my celica. I definitely will be contacting you for questions. Thank you

Excellent best video hands down now I can do it!!

Good video thank you so much.

Rad. Every celica person should watch this

Taught me some things i need to know to do this exact swap into my Pontiac Vibe. I think a 2zz with a 6 speed in that little hatch would be hilariously fum

This is Great !!! Amazing and Detailing !!! Thanks ^_^

Thank you thank you thank you

I've had one of these in and out of my Celica for various reasons and I still didn't know about some of these tips. Thanks. btw, the first time a I did a 2ZZ rebuild and swap I was kinda proud and relieved to have finally gotten all the motor mounts lined up and tightened down and I don't know what made me do it, but I just happened to look over at my other work bench and there was the new rear main seal looking back at me. That was the end of that day working on cars...

Man I remember when these celicas were giving a great run for the money. Didnt see many gts cars , but there were a few really fast ones

Yes I check all vacuum hose all correctly install carefully. I wonder should I check on idle control valve? Do you know where it located?

Nice keep it up. I enjoy watching the video. I looking to put something in my Yaris also 😎

Thank you so much for making this video! You've answered quite a few of my questions I had, but a few I still have. I'll be making this exact engine swap soon from my GT's 300k 1zz engine which drinks oil and fouls plugs almost weekly to a lower mileage JDM GTS engine. First question, I've read that the JDM ECU from Japan has an immobilizer feature yet most of the engines for sale have the ECU (presumably from Japan) sold along with the engine. Would I need to then buy a US ECU? Secondly, I didn't see you changed out the throttle body cable. I had read that you have to swap the GT's throttle cable out with one from a GTS. Most of the JDM engines seem to have them hacked off when they pulled the engine. Will the original GT 1zz throttle cable work with the GTS 2zz engine? (dissent disclaimer) I know it'll be a lot of work, but honestly I've had mine for 16 years and I don't want a different car let alone one of the new electric things. So that's why I'm doing the swap and upgrading.

Any way I can get the head and top end components from your old 1ZZ? Getting ready to rebuild the top end of mine and the spare parts would be a godsend.

I love yamaha engine

Hi Scott - EXCELLENT videos. Removed RWD engines prior and having difficulty with 1ZZ Automatic Removal. Saw your other video and it was for 2ZZ. Does the transmission need to come out with the engine on a 1ZZ? If so, does it need to drop thru and not pulled thru the top? Many thanks!

Just got my 2ZZ not to long ago I'll talk with you on the FB Celica page we she get the inspection sticker on lol

Look for a matrix, Pontiac vibe, or Toyota Corolla xrs. Look up the models and you'll understand why I'm suggesting this.

Tengo un problema no se si usa buzos hidraulicos este motor 2zzge, me hace un ruido de buzos no se que sea.!¡

Why did I die laughing when you got on the lawn mower 😅😅

Dude your place looks so good.

TUck it a corner and work on something else.... How about putting the bumper cover on, and that headlight, and give it some tarp. Take it on Sunday drive... It sounds great. Yep very helpful video. I wish we was in the same town, I would pay you to swap my 1ZZ.

Couple of questions- is the exhaust the same from the bottom of the manifold- meaning the centre section with the Cat? Also- see the cooling pipe that is fitted to the ECU is that different too? I have a T Sport which is I guess the GTS there and can't figure out how the cooling pipe is routed on this, I had a 1zz and I know how to fit it on that.

Only if you lived in San Antonio I’d pay for this exact job

Wow. Thank you for all of this info! Do you know anything about swapping a 2zz Into a 1998 toyota corolla? Thanks!

How did it work with the GT gauge cluster? Thinking about doing the same swap, just would like to know some details about it.

Hey man I recently bought two 2zz’s one I’m rebuilding, the other I’m slapping in tomorrow after pulling it last Friday, was wondering are the fuel rails interchangeable? I know the injectors aren’t.

Привет друг крутая у тебя машина , у меня такая как у тебя и тоже сделал tuning , очень красиво получилось , заходи на мой канал посмотри, и если не сложно поделись с друзьями

Hey boss, quick question... For the 2zz swap with the 6-speed, what components do I need for the shifter as far as the linkage cables and the shifter itself... Is there a difference in the 5speed/6speed shifter gates or is it just a matter of putting the cables on the new transmission and changing the shift knob?

So did you swap the wire harness or just the ecu.I have the same exact car,without a sunroof.I wanted to put the 2 zz in it but other sources online made it seem quite difficult.Mine is an automatic though,and the 2zz is a standard can I still use the engine?

You should have put it into a 10th gen corolla And you could have made it into a true XRS model. I'm still waiting for someone to do this and turn a corrolla into a track car With performance suspension. Maybe I'll do it to my corolla lol

Did you also grab the rear brakes as well? The drum brakes on the GT are ok but the disc brakes are much better.

Couple questions on GTS 6-speed manual transmissions: What is the top gear ratio...or, better, what is engine RPM at, say, 65 MPH with the 6-speed? Aslo, is the GTS' wheel/tire the same overall diameter as the GT? I'm looking for this info 'cause I felt a little nervous about running my 1ZZ engine all day at nearly 4,000 RPM at 70-75+ MPH as I went on a two-day, 1,200 mile, jaunt to watch the solar eclipse last summer....central Wisconsin to central Missouri. Also...I have a tip back at Ya' for those pesky power steering pump mount sleeves: Natch, here in the rust belt, those sleeves want to be smacked a little harder than I felt comfortable, given the wall thickness of the front cover casting. Brother and I took a short bolt with the bottom of its head resting on the offending sleeve. (between the mount lugs!) On the other end, (wheel end) a stubby socket with a couple thick washers under the nut screwed onto that short bolt tuned the assembly into a very effective screw press. Regards, Scott Peterson AKA, Bluswede

So I bought the MWR 2zz swap package. I got a question for you that maybe you can answer for me... On the collector side of the exhaust header there's a verticle splitter plate... Looking at this splitter it is bent towards the transmission side... It kinda seems like it was engineered to be that way but I'm also kind of wondering if it got bumped somewhere along the way and became bent that way... Any recollection of what this is supposed to look like?... The bend seems pretty extreme to me and the heat shield has a crack in it.

I'm thinking about running an MWR 2zz swap in my 00 Celica gt because the 1zz is eating oil and doing 1zz things... thanks for the info.

I'm thinking of swapping my 1.4vvti 4zz e11 corrolla with a 1.8 vvtli 2zzg I was wondering how to go about getting lift to work as the 1.4 does have lift but would the looms be the same

What's the differences with the 1zz and 2zz? Do the 2zz's have the piston ring problems that the 1zz's have? Also whats the power difference?

Do you know if the 1zz oil dipstick is the same as the 2zz ? thanks

Did you have to change the harness from the 1zz car for the 2zz engine?

Did you have to swap pcm or ecu ? Have a 2zz motor from 05 xrs corolla planning on swapping in my 08 corolla

Hi, I have a 1zz toyota celica gt wonder I can install a 2zz intake manifold is that possible?

I had my engine swapped on a 2004 Toyota Celica GT. Also the IAC, ECU, power steering pump, radiator was replaced new. 2 problems the engine bounces 1000 rmps to 2000 rmps an back just keeps doing that when the clutch is in. Even after driving it, it gets better but not like it should be. No one can figure it out. 2 problem. by the radiator there is a small hose I think from the coolent system and they could not find where it went to so the capped it with a screw. The manifold is plastic not metal would that have anything to do with it. Any help would be great from anyone. Thanks

Can the gt-s gauge cluster swap in with no complications?

I realize that this is an old thread but I have a question that I couldnt find an answer to in the comments. Swapping a 2ZZ into a 2000 GT. The donor is a 2004 GTS. Will there be any special issues with using this year model parts? Appreciate it and sorry if it has been answered and I missed it!

I just have a 1zz swap to my toyota celica and when I first start the engine it idle high between 1200 to 2400 rpm and it stay at 2400 rpm. Any suggestions on it?

I got a 1ZZ-fe from Japan to swap. There's a hose coming out of the block from behind the intake manifold that is not on my original USDM engine. I think it's a coolant hose. Where does that go?

The 2zzge needed more focus like the 4ages an jz engines

So I'm pretty sure I'm going to do the swap at this point, but I have one final question that maybe you can shed some light on... Is there a difference in throttle cables between the GT and GT-S? I intend to keep the cruise control and am told that there is a difference but I cant seem to find any information on what that difference is.

Does anyone know if the brake booster from the gt and the gts are interchangeable or are they different?

WILL THE 6 SPEED WORK WITH THE 1ZZ MOTOR? THX

Use the 1zz oil pan its baffled unlike the 2zz even tho the 2zz is the performance motor

Hey I had bought my celica its a 2002 and the engine overheated and the radiator was going back can I engine swap it or should I just go for another car?

Hola .Saludos desde Perú .

Si video me es util para la instalación y modificacion . Saludos

I need to 2zz swap my gt

Hi buddy ! Can over tighten the power steering pump screws do any oil leaks in the timming chain cover area, thats what i've heard ? I've heard it's 32 lbs/ft. ? I know that experience mechanics do not need the torque specs on things like these..., but just want your advise if i may ask.... ? Thanks !

Where can I buy one of those engines for cheap?

Did u keep it 5 spd still?

I want to turbo my 2zz what would u recommend

Well the swap was a complete success and I've got about 150 miles on the clock now, big thanks to you and your videos👍 Following your example made life much much easier... Here's a pic of the finished product: imgur.com/a/7c7cN5G One last question for ya and ill leave you alone😂 Once the engine comes to temp the RPM's bounce up and down between 1300 and 1800 while coasting and then when I come to a stop the idle returns to a steady 1500 RPM... I don't have any idiot lights on in the dash so that's good... I do have a K&N short ram as you can see in the pic and I left the blue plug unplugged but the EVAC circuits are both hooked up properly... Should I clean the MAF and IAC to see if that's the problem or do you think it may be something else... Thank you for all your help I do appreciate it👍

I am wanting to do a 2zz swap on my celica 1zz 5spd. So will need the wiring harness for the 2zz in order to run?

Will 2zz intake manifold fit in 1zz?

are you from canada?

I'm about to remove a 1zz engine with a manual trans. Can I leave the trans in the car and just remove the engine?

What about a 2zz in a 01 Corolla

Just stick the tractor engine in there and be done with it.

Y noes mejor un b18 o un k20? estos motores de toyota vvti vvtl-i son una mierda.

MOTOR? Did you just call that engine a MOTOR? FAIL
