chrisandliz[RL] Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 hiya boyz and girlz, I was looking at some info on the 2zzge and I know that lotus used this engine in a MR lay out, but has anyone seen or know of any one that is in RWD lay out? Maybe in a rolla. Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancullen Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 (edited) One of the companies that make Lotus 7 replicas has a version available with the 1ZZ-FE and the 2ZZ-GE. But it uses a Ford 5-speed gearbox. :D Edited August 30, 2007 by ancullen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 is this with a custom bellhousing ($$$) or does it magically all line up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollamods Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Craig from Extreme Custom Engineering at Coopers Plains in Brisbane has done a RWD 2ZZ recently. Custom bellhousing, custom mounts, custom exhaust, quad throttles etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollamods Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 The one from Craig is not in a Toyota. Ant from Kaizen is also doing a RWD 2ZZ which is going into one of his AE86's eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam_Q Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 what stops me from looking into this further is rebuildability issues and weaknesses that the engine has. I will still with my 4AG/F power till then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancullen Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 is this with a custom bellhousing ($$$) or does it magically all line up? I think it's with a custom bellhousing. I presume they bulk buy them for the Clubman kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AE25 Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 what stops me from looking into this further is rebuildability issues and weaknesses that the engine has.

machg Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Probably not done often as Toyota already has a similar, higher-spec engine already set up for rwd duties; the BEAMS 3sge from the JDM RS 200 Altezza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
