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. -------------------- do you know who i am, mr. worley? |

It's just a bigger 5SFE-type motor... but newer and with better technology. "AZ" does NOT denote any overbuilding or anything related to a supercharger. It's simply the engine family code... which many of the later toyota motors have the added 'Z' in the block code (ie: ZZ,AZ,JZ,TZ, MZ, etc). Also... I have opened up this motor before and the internals are not anything special... just typical mass-produced toyota parts. Pistons are basic cast slugs, like 90% of toyota pistons are, and rods are typical design. Also note... ALL stock rods under-go forging to reduce brittleness, but because of manufacturing costs... most all stock rods in all engines are cast. Stock 'press-forged' type rods are far too expensive to produce in mass for mass produced motors like the 2AZ.
To close... IMO, it would make an alright swap engine if you plan on boosting it... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
