Of course, you need the PCM and wiring harness for that as well since the 2ZZ-GE uses different electronics from the 2ZR-FE. You'd also need a power steering pump delete kit since we have EPS.

Yeah, the 1.8 VVTL-i should fit in a Corolla no problem, assuming that you can find one that hasn't been blown up or shot out.

Just avoid the 2.4 L VVT-i ... they were dogshit slow and they have problems burning oil. First generation Scion tC had them, as well as the '07 - '08 Camry, the '09 Matrix and Corolla XRS.

Nope. Camry uses another engine, can't remember what the code name is. It's a 2.5 L VVT-i

And yup, 180 hp ... it was the last great 4-cylinder that Toyota has aside from the 2.0 Boxer that is in the Scion FR-S.

The 2ZR-FE (the engine in our Corolla) is VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence) As well as the 1ZZ-FE, and several other modern Toyota engines. It's basically the Toyota equivalent to Honda's VTEC-i (Valve Timing Electronic Control with Intelligence) The 2ZZ-GE was the 1.8 L VVTL-i...

The 6MT bites fine for a 4-popper from 4k rpm. Automatics always have a sluggish launch unless you have, say, a Nissan with launch control.

Yeah, I'd call up your dealer and have them look at it. That doesn't sound good.

It should be locking when you pull the key out. If not, take it back to the dealership.

VTEC is for Honda. Toyota has VVT-i, which is the equivalent of VTEC. Now ... if only Toyota would bring back VVTL-i

It won't hurt the car, but you can stay in D and if you need a lower gear, just mash the throttle.

Meh, 50 roll takes out the fun of the launch!

Still saving up for one of these: I'm going to finish LED'ing the Corolla, then it's 5.0 time!

I only got 300 miles out of this tank :-X Got a new job with more city driving and I was having fun when I had the holeshot on a red light.

There ya go! Keep us posted.

S is moderate engine braking (not sure what the s means) B is engine braking If you're coasting down a hill in 7th gear, S will put you in 6th or 5th, while B will put you in 4th.

They shouldn't charge more than $60 considering that it only takes 10 minutes to do. I'd call around some shops and ask them. Get three quotes and go with the middle price.

I'm 6' and 230 lb. I love the seats. Maybe try adjusting the position of the back a little more upright? Might help.

Yes, change the speed governor but leave the rev limiter alone until you build a 2ZR-FE that can handle extra rpms.

You won't need to go easy because you won't gain enough from tuning to destroy the stock parts, but with the magnum kit, you're gonna be running rich and I'd be willing to bet good money that you wouldn't see a 17% increase on a dyno.
