2AZFE? Options

[uberschall]

primarily for conversation...

seeing as the 2AZFE has assumed the role of replacement for the 5SFE, and it is similar in application and displacement....how feasible/worthwhile is a swap in your opinion?

i got to thinking about it because it is a much better 6-speed option than the peaky, fragile 2ZZ.

based on a quick browse on ebay, the highest price i found for the motor itself was $1700.

and for pete's sake, don't be obnoxious.

Smaay. You're thinking of the 2AR-FE. That is available in the TC2 and Newer camry's. The 2AR is the motor Gouky put in his MKI. The 2az is a single vvti motor with 162hp and typically dynos around 140+ with mods. It is a turbo friendly motor.

I believe the 2az will bolt onto the s54/e153. However those motors are more expensive than a v6 and make less power. So it's hard to justify that swap. But if your heart wants it. Go for it.

As far as making it CA legal. It's more difficult to do it but possible. You will need to convert to drive by wire. Have the evap pressure sensor at the tank I believe. You have to get 2 catalytic converters. The manifold one you typically have to purchase separate from the engine plus you need to purchase the downstream one. SO you're looking at about $1000+ just in converters. There are more things but still... Possible. V6 is cheaper and simpler and more power!
