2zzge Rwd Convert

[chrisandliz[RL]]

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

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

is this with a custom bellhousing ($$$) or does it magically all line up?

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

I have heard tell of this mythical beast... a spoontah I believe.

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.

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.

I think it's with a custom bellhousing. I presume they bulk buy them for the Clubman kits.

aaah yes of course, the clubmans.... are we talking about the UK westfield or caterhams?

The "I-Can't-Remember-Which-Brand" Clubmans.

It's the Birkin Clubman, available through Meridian Motorsport.

what weaknesses???? please do tell

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.
