It's time for an ICONIC ENGINES episode on Toyota's rev-happy 2ZZ-GE engine.
The 2zz engine started it's life in 1999, building on the base created by the 1zz-fe engine just two years before. But the engines share very little with each other. The 2zz engine is the performance variant of Toyota's zz engine series, which was made as a replacement for Toyota's very popular and successful A series of engines. The A series spawned the legendary 4age engine among others, and the 2zz can be seen as the spiritual successor to the 4age. But if we compare the 2zz-ge engine to Toyota's older performance four cylinders (2tg, 18rg, 3sge, 4age), we will see that the 2zzge is different from all of them in that it has an all aluminum engine block, compared to cast iron blocks found in the older engines. Cast iron blocks are great and almost never go wrong, and Toyota as a car manufacturer usually prefers simple, beefy, high-mileage resistant engineering solutions that are very unlikely to develop faults. Cast iron blocks are one such piece of engineering and this explain why Toyota was slower to abandon them in its four cylinders compared to many other manufacturers. But times were changing, and Toyota had to make a more modern, lighter engine, and so the zz series of engines got an all aluminum engine block.
The 2zz came during an interesting time for Toyota, but one that can be described as somewhat sad for car enthusiasts. The mr2 mk2 (sw20) had turned from a turbo powered monster into a, perhaps better handling, but much tamer naturally aspirated car that was the mr2 spyder (zzw30), the legendary supra was also almost finished with it's production. The Prius hit the market in 1997 and over the next decade on so Toyota would be focused on developing the hybrid system and making it's cars cleaner and more fuel efficient. But Toyota wasn't ready to give up the sports car just yet and the 2zz engine really reflects the spirit of the times. It was fuel efficient and clean but also really sporty, fun and rev-happy.
So what about the specs? When looking at the specs of the 2zz engine it's very useful to look at it side by side with the 1zz engine. The differences between the 2zz and the 1zz reveal why the 2zz performs better, makes more power and revs higher. Although, upon first glance, the engines look very similar they are in fact very different, down to their bore and stroke. The 2zz has more bore and less stroke. This means it's better at revving higher, and also has more space for bigger valves so it breathes better and makes more power. This also means key parts between the 2zz and the 1zz are not interchangeable. You definitely can't take a 2zz head and put it on a 1zz block. The differences continue in the rest of the engine. The 2zz has very light internals, forged connecting rods and light cast pistons with a special low-friction coating. The variable valve timing between the 2zz and the 1zz is also different. The 1zz engine gets a more modest version that, in essence, only affects cam phasing. The 2zzge vvtl-i system is much more advanced and affects both cam light and cam duration on both the intake and the exhaust cam. Incidentally, the 2zz was Toyota's first engine to receive the vvtl-i version of Toyota's variable valve timing technology.
All of the differences between the 1zz and 2zz add up and the 2zz makes on average 50hp more than the 1zz depending on the particular engine, vehicle, market and tune. The 2zz-ge highest factory power output amounts to 190hp, while the 1zz highest stock power output is 130hp. So the 2zz makes more power than the 1zz, it also makes more torque but only marginally more, with the difference in torque being less than 10 Nm. This is of course due to the fact that the 1zz has more stroke than the 2zz engine.
So what are your options when tuning a 2zz-ge engines? Well there's a bit of sad news on that one as the 2zz-ge doesn't really have a stage one. The 2zz is sort of already "tuned" from the factory and your typical bolt on mods won't really do anything, and will often result in a power loss rather than a power gain. That being said, the 2zz is a great swap into older, lighter, more analogue Toyotas. The Toyota Celica, Matrix and the Corolla were already getting heavy by the end of the 90s. A 2zz in an aw11, ae82, ae92 or even an ae86 makes sense. It's lighter yet more powerful than the older engines so the results are usually very fun! the 2zz is also a super popular swap into the mr2 spyder. But how do you get more power from the 2zz? Do what lotus did and bolt a supercharger onto it. Supercharger kits are still available for the 2zz. What about a 2zz turbo? You can do that too, but you will need new internals or a brand new engine as step one, and turboing some of the older Toyota engines is actually a bit easier.

Michelo D.I.Y. Cool bro I have the Toyota Corolla sportivo here in Australia
@@jaycrallano at a guess, I'm thinking that's what we call the corolla T sport in the UK
Sounds like a typical 2zz doing what it's supposed to. I'm about 250.000km now, still kicking!!
Never opened the motor, still on stock internals besides water pump.
As a self-proclaimed 2ZZ legend with the most powerful N/A 2ZZ in the world, this was a great video and very well executed 👏
Any more power since your videos on it over a decade ago? I love it.
Yeah, I feel like you haven't uploaded a celica video in a while. You need to upload some more celica vids!
Drop a 2zz into a 3rd gen MR2 and you got a budget lotus
Im hoping to do that in the future.
Touge time did that , he's winning autocross events now
@Sergio Aguirre 2zz is smaller so it works better for a midship layout , k20 swaps happen in the more modern lotuses tho
@Sergio Aguirre a 2zz is a straight swap on the low budget end no need to modify or fabricate anything it fits because the mounta harnesses and transmission are all from the same family of engines
@@Realtime1501 it works cause the 1zz is just the same 1.8 as the 2zz.
My 2zz is about to hit 200k. and she has been amazing ❤
368,000 Miles on my 2zz and still going strong! Just change the oil every 3-5k miles with a good quality synthetic oil and this engine will treat you right.
Currently swapping my 96 corolla from a 4afe 5-speed to a 2zz-ge 6 -speed . it’s actually very simple . Mounts line right up passenger used 1zz mixed with 2zz mount , corolla wheel hubs, 1 2zz axle , 1 1zz axle , custom manifold , external water temperature sensor, there are other things but anyone can do it if you have the time !
Can that swap work in an AE92 ?
@@timothykeith1367 what about the e140?

That sounds sweet! I should do that when my Matrix XRS rusts out
I'm currently looking to do a swap with my ae100 and I'm looking info on how to go about doing so. Any relevant information will be very helpful
A lot of thought research and effort went into the making of this video ...extremely educational ...Nam Jamaica

Big up to Bossy D who make this engine famous in Jamaica
I had a Eclipse with a 4g63 and was happy to see your video about it´s engine. Now i own a T-Sport and yet again im pleased to see that i yet again managed to find a good engine.
I love my 2ZZ! My turbo Lotus has a mildly built 2 liter 2ZZ with a GTX2863R and makes 373whp at 16lbs boost, before that it was a smaller turbo and 278whp for over 10years at 8lbs boost never had any issues. No probs with oil pumps etc.
So on a stock 2zz you made 278hp?
@@endygoovaerts713 "mildly built"

@@endygoovaerts713 No the engine was always built, it’s got an old school cosworth 2 liter kit, they did them in the UK for a while. It’s never failed
@@ItsPainnz not sure about that one
I'm so glad TH-cam recommended this to me. Your enthusiasm for cars is contagious
Recently managed to get one of my dream cars... a Toyota Corolla T-Sport Compressor (2zzge + tte supercharger). Loves to wheelspin in 1st, but has plenty of power down low while still revving high, and has a supercharger whine that always makes me smile!
That sounds badass!
I have a T Sport Celica. When that Lift kicks in it never fails to put a big grin on my face. Its a wonderful engine
Sure is!
@@d4a How many miles can a stock 2zzge hold in your experience? (with good meitance of course) thank you very much!
2zzge stage 1 mods, 2.5-3inch cold air intake, 2.5 inch catback exhaust. THAT makes a difference, no tune required. Surprised a lot of cars on roll ons, pulls mad up top with a little extra flow.
Recommend some extractors and a high flow cat as well. Made a huge difference to mine .
Was just going to ask what are the first mods you can do. Just got into a 03 xrs matrix with 100k miles for $3,000
Will this work for 00 gts automatic ?
Dude I remember seeing your poly bushings video a couple years back.
These videos are absolutely stellar, showing your energy and knowledge in entertaining format.
I'd like to hear your knowledge on in-line 6 or slant 6 engines, but there's plenty of 4 bangers still to check I'm sure.
Keep it up.
Broken lift bolts ain't no joke, also if you're tracking it might I suggest a Moroso oil pan? A high lateral G turn can starve the 2ZZ leading to kaboom. I love my GT-S with the 2ZZ though, it's not super fast but once I get it warmed up I'm having my fun winding it out a little bit before each shift.
@grug69 agree 100% mate! For track days safe this engine need only oil pan and good oil nothing else! But like you if be carful don't need anything!

Kept an Audi R8 V10 at bay through the AdelIde hills. As much as he tried…He couldn’t touch me. Pulled up at Mt Barker lights coming from strath, the first 2 lane section of road. R8 owner pulled alongside with his jaw in his lap, mouth agape and clapped as he shook his head in astonishment.
Her car isn’t any where near as fast as my Rx7, but it’s super fun💪
probably didn’t know how to drive, common for people with cars like that. not saying the Corolla doesn’t handle well but it’s not a very good chassis and doesn’t come with very great suspension or an lsd
SO greatful i found this video. Just bought 2zzge with 6 speed gearbox and stock ECu ,putting on a Toyota Corolla (E120). can't wait for a good fun time with it ❤
Same here I just bought a ae101 with stock 2zz-ge and 6 speed gearbox..trying to learn as much about this engine as possible..This video was very fun n informative.
Toyota gave Yahama the cylinder head and Yamaha were just like "why don't we do that Honda thing? That VTEC thang?"
Learn your variable valve history. Sorry but Honda wasn't the first game out there. Variable valve timing has been a continuous evolution since Man took flight with most aircraft engines using it since the early 1900's. Fiat was the first automotive manufacturer to patent it and the first production car to use it was an Alpha Romeo in 1980 beating out Honda by 9 years.
@Sergio Aguirre thats right bro, at that era most japanese car marque have their own (sort of) variable valve "lifting" which basically is another cam profile, nissan have their neo VVL, mitsubishi have their MIVEC (early mivecs are cam profile-switching), hondas with their VTECs, toyota with their VVT*L*-i, those were the golden age, and i miss that. 90's ~ 00's
@@pprotory too bad Fiat made a piss poor job...Japanese technology tops European. Japanese engineering is way more reliable and way easier to maintain.
Oh Honda k engine must be build by jesus it must be the only engine in the world. The only engine that revs must be the only engine that produces power. K20 2.0 200 bhp. Nissan sr16 ve 200 bhp 1.6. Honda overated. Start to think for yourself.
Kevin Jones Most k series motors make about 220-230 whp with the basic bolt-ons. The sr16ve and sr20ve were both awesome motors, but still not nearly as good as k series Honda and still probably inferior to the b series Honda. There is a reason Honda motors are so popular, just like there is a reason the LS series motors are so popular. They very easily make tons of power. The same cannot be said for the Nissan VE motors. The sr20ve with n1 cams, intake, good header and 3” exhaust will hopefully make close to 200whp, often just under that. The k20 will make 230-240whp with the same mods all day long. Both great motors though, and a ve will be finding its way into my g20 soon hopefully.
Had Toyota put this in the Tc, the scion brand would still be Alive
Imagine if they put this or the 2gr in the FRS tho👀👀
They did
@@arlenburgin2392 Not
@@nvl2691 just checkin
Their research showed that people prefer torque for everyday driving, so they made a bigger engine. Honda did the same thing with the Civic Si which is also kind of sad. High revving four cylinders are just too hardcore for most people and they want to sell as many cars as possible.
I couldn't untangle my headphones fast enough. A whole video devoted to the 2ZZ!! Thank you 👍🙌🤙
Hey, I enjoyed the video (even the rap). I have had a 2ZZ-GE in my 2000 MR2 Spyder for 8 years now. I love it and it makes the car so much more fun to drive. Thanks for the refresher.
Just found this channel and is awesome. Once I found out all the drawbacks of a 2zz on boost I decided to go k20a2 on my 2000 Mr2 Spyder
Love this video! And love this engine I have a 2005 Corolla XRS it's sooo much fun! Thanks for bringing some attention to this underappreciated engine!
I have an 03 Pontiac Vibe GT with the 2ZZ 6-speed trans and I love it. Almost gets me trouble sometimes on the desert road I travel to work on. Long roads nothing out there. When that lift kicks in just makes it more fun to drive.Thanks for all the info.
I know what you speak of!
I own a 03 Vibe GT also.
I had a 2005 2zzge...it was more fuel efficient than my 2009 1zz...even though I was in lift every time I drove. But...it wore out even with frequent oil changes...sold it with 230k and now has 300+...same engine...different driver who never takes it above 5k.
This channel is one of my best TH-cam finds of all time!
You explain all this in-depth stuff really well, thanks. I had a 1999 Celica which was one of the earliest 2ZZ's. It developed the broken lift bolt issue after a few months of me owning it. Cost me close to $1000 (NZD) for my mechanic to fix about 11 years ago.
Your channel is absolutely amazing!! No nonsense or hyperbole, soooooo much good information.
Damn, that Supercharged Lotus revs like a boss!!
Another issue is the bad oil feed on camshafts which will scar if reved cold (oil too cold = too thick ergo bad lube)
Good stuff, thanks for this video!
My 2003 vibe gt has all original 2zz ge, (except waterpump.) Almost at 400,000 miles. Drove to 14,000 feet in Colorado and all over Utah last year.
Six speed. I'm smiling.
400k miles????? Wow very impressive mate!!! You have the car today??
2004 Toyota Matrix Xrs. Got it at 200k. Was in bad shape but got it running good. 230k now and I'm constantly bouncing off the limiter. Original engine and trans. These engines are bulletproof.
Definitely the Highlight of this video 24:55 had me in tears watching over and over 🤣🤣 thing is no engine is good for absolutely everything, they all have they’re good and bad, but this is best video I’ve seen describing everything that Id want to know! this is really good content 👍
The first engine I know of to use MMC was the C32B in the 1997 Honda/Acura NSX. Honda termed it "Fiber-reinforced metal" or FRM for short, and it was needed to increase the V6's bore to increase displacement from 3.0 to 3.2L displacement. The F20C in the S2000 also used an FRM block. I'm not sure of which other manufacturers employed the technique.
I believe the Honda h series was the first
Currently enjoying a celica TRD sport M with a special 2zz in it!
Love your videos, keep up the good work!
I dont think there is any difference with the engine. Just a little bit in the suspension
@@Bobaganush26 I believe that the TRD Sport M had 200bhp instead of 190bhp, it's hard to find info about this car though
@@fairyliquid6864 I know in other countries without emissions laws. It has 190 hp because it has no catalytic converter. But I'm not to sure about 200 hp
Great video, you should do the 2ZR-FE as it also has been used in the Lotus Elise 2014 and up, not only that but it's one of the most recent engines to be used by Toyota in their production cars and the replacement of the 2ZZ
dude idk how i just found your channel but you deserve way more subs!!!! keep up the good vids
“Simplify, then add lightness.” -Colin Chapman
EXCELLENT Video. Learnt some more about the 2ZZ. I have a 2003 JDM Corolla Fielder Z Aerotourer Wagon. Family car with the 2ZZ Auto 4-speed box with Manual mode. Bought the car from Japan with 42,000kms. It is now doing 196,000kms. Only renewed a leaking oil seal, 2nd set of Iridium plugs, and 3rd serpentine belt. Crosses 100mph easily. Electronically limited at 190KMH. Car loves to be driven fast.
Oh ! BMW used to do something similar to their cylinder walls. They called it Nickasil. Don't know who was first.
This was the best 2ZZ video up to date. I like how you listed all the cars that come with the engine. Keep them coming.

I can't help but picture Christoph Waltz when you speak, one of my favorite actors. That being said, I just purchased an 05 Lotus Elise and I'm new to this engine, very informative video! Many thanks and keep up the good work!
Love what you're doing! Thanks so much for sharing all this with us. Would love to see you talk on the Mazda MZR L3-VDT! Cheers!
I had the opportunity to see a l3-vdt rebuilt from start to finish and see it really up close. A very very impressive design. I even captured some amateur footage with my cell-phone that I might use. That engine is definitely getting an iconic episode in the future. I can't really say when exactly, I just started and there's so much to cover, but I'm not leaving it out that's for sure.
You should do one on the Volvo Red Block engines! Love the quality content!!
These videos have become the highlight of my Sunday’s

I was real bored today and started looking at this Toyota Corolla XRS 2005 version. I got one used for under $2,000 and it's like a secondary car for me but back to you and your video and the way you do videos it's like phenomenal you need like a TV show you're an original character you're like nothing no one's ever seen and the information is Top Notch I got to give it to you just for the even taking the time out to even sit in front of a camera and give out all this information free .great video

What a beautiful entertaining and informative video! Thanks for all the info man.
Shout outs from iraq!
Love all your great videos ! Fantastic work
Enjoyed the video, nice work!
The valve sizes are larger than typical because press in valve seats aren't used. The aluminium seat is "laser clad" giving it a thin sintered finish. This was pioneered in 1997 on this engine and has been continued in later Toyota engines. MMC durability Vrs cast iron depends on your market. In the USA, high sulphur fuel creates acid during combustion at low engine temps. This tends to strip off oil film resulting in accelerated wear. In Europe or Japan the far lower sulphur content does not result in chemical attack so bottom end durability will match expectations for km's driven. MMC seems to have only been used in the 2ZZ allowing an "over" bore without increasing the bore center distance. MMC was later used in the Rav4 hybrid front brake rotors where the weight saving is significant. The Elise S1 had MMC brake rotors all around but returned to cast iron on the S2 update due to design flaws.
ive never clicked on a video faster, great content keep it up do the 3sgte next please
3sge is coming on the next next Sunday, i.e. In 13 days :)
@@d4a Wooo!
I just towed home a $500 Pontiac Vibe GT with this engine. The compression is good, but it likely needs a head gasket due to the low amount of coolant and high amount of oil, and reports that it “gets a little warm”. I’m eager to get it sorted and back on the road and revving high. I learned from your video that it is very important that it be warm before it sings the song of its people. I should also look into putting a 1zzfe oil pan on it and that fancy billet oil pump gear at some point. I would imagine that it also likes wheels that are very light. I’ve never seen anything cheap in a field with a K20 in it, but I would also be happy to flog one of those if I find one.
Great Review !!!
But even better (and comical but excellent) narration .
I really do enjoy watching you videos. Your explanation is so energetic and comical, but it revs up the curiosity and increases the want to know more compression.
I had a lecturer in collage that thought natural science. Now, as with most people, you will completely loose me with science and math in the first second. But, with that lecturer, he did it with so much enthusiasm and energy and flair, i just wanted to know more, and all of our marks where really excellent.
You remind me of him.
Thank you very much. I really do enjoy your videos, and your "energy", and flair !!!
Please do keep it up.
Take care and catch you in the next video.
Me and my friend had an outstanding chemistry lecturer teach our first university paper, It really is outstanding what a teacher can do for a subject, he considered changing his degree, but after the paper was over decided against it lol.
Love that engine. Thanks for a great video.
About 5-7 whp can be gained from indexing the spark plugs. I've seen it on a celica gts I was working with. An indexing kit isnt that expensive, and worth it since those engines are hard to gain power with.

This is still the best review I've ever watched of the 2zzge, you explain it better than Toyota did. Actually better than any of these youtubers have. Well in sir!
Just bought a celica t sport today and traded in my old normal celica luxury package
Most engines will be hurt by overrevving bc they're interference engines, over revving will cause valves to slam into each other, the case here is that the factory oil pump was not made to rotate any faster that 8600 rpms, there are aftermarket pumps for that.
Well red line is 8500 and the rev limiter should help but i did miss shift once All i could hear was the rev limiter causing the engine to chatter away as it hit about 8800 until i hit the clutch and dropped power
Love your content mate. Keep it coming
Excellent video! Loved it! 💯🔥👍
Thank you so very much for your video! The way you explain makes me smile.
And it would be great if you make a separate video on 4A-GZE.
As for 2ZZ-GE - in Russia it is known as engine for - let me call it - 'performance, not mileage.
That was all really good info, especially the fact that I can't hone the block. I totally would have dropped my block off at a machine shop had I not watched this
Looking you can get a whole long block with 20k-60k miles stripped and cleaned for $2,600 or so. If building an engine for big power I think it would be easier to start there. I'm angling for a 9 second drag celica as goal. Tubed not street legal car.
I got one and i tell you,all these years and it still pull like new.
Videos of the early 2000s Corolla XRS with a supercharger was INSANE SOUNDING. That car had zero business having such an awesome engine combination, but Toyota somehow decided to manufacture a supercharger kit for the car.
24:53, "The fuel pump goes pop. Then the engine goes pop." Your illustration of that had me bent over laughing! Lol!
I am pretty sure that he meant to say the oil pump. It's still hilarious though.
I'm hooked on the 20v . But one day I might try out the 2zz.
Had lots of fun with my 1ZZFE Celica. Underpowered but revved and sounded like a motorcycle. Great and underrated engine family.

Hey man if you dont mind let me know how it goes
Your videos are great cause i can get great info from ur vids thx alot ..i rly appreciate this bro!
Glad they're useful, thanks for watching :) I appreciate the support.
It would be pretty cool if you can make a video about the ej204/ej254 Subaru engines. They were a special kind of n/a and are really iconic. A very big fan of your channel.
I learned plenty on the iconic engine videos you made so far. I'm an engine freak.
I was shocked that the Toyota V series was even a thing. I thought the 2T/3T engines were the "Toyota Hemi" engine for reasons, until you pointed it out. It even looks like an American V8. That's an engine which would be interesting to see if it has an aftermarket support in Japan. Seriously, an all aluminum Toyota engine with V8 rumble coming from a midsize Toyota would have people asking things about this engine.
I hope in enjoying your other videos.
P.S.
While not as popular as the SR20, the KA24 does have a following, so consider this an option when you run out of engines to talk of or earlier.
The V thing is unfortunately so rare that parts for it are pretty damn hard to find! The V series was primarily used in the Toyota Century, which is a pretty rare car itself. I would love to see one first person but I'm not betting on it. It's an interesting engine no doubt. KA24 is cool to, its definitely coming up before I run out of engines.
@@d4a, so the V series is the predecessor to the V12 that came in the later Centuries. So not exactly a performance engine, but probably one that is refined, like the older Cadillac engines.
Now I love Toyota even more. They come up with the first all-aluminun Japanese engine, one with probably heavy influence in American design. And then they make the only JDM V12 ever made. How cool is that?
Loving this series so far. Where did you get that fantastic 80s sounding music for the topic transitions?
Thank you, glad you like em. Music is called missive from the TH-cam audio library.

I had 330 thousand miles on my 2ZZGE and it was still going strong. I retired the car after an accident.
330k miles? Wow! That's really impressive! Any issues or repairs mate? Also the c60 gearbox too?
I got Toyota corolla TTE ( 2zz-ge supercharged)
This car is amazing!
Is it factory made or aftermarket?
im currently running a 2zz-ge in a Australian Corolla Sportivo (Aussie version of Matrix), not many parts here but its popular that we get ported manifolds + throttle body with a CAI. Then map it out with a v-manage ecu.
we get some decent gain. but the only problem is the gear box on 3rd gear :(
but 2zzge is still life
Where in Aus are you at mate? I've got a pre facelift 2003 Sportivo with just a custom 2.5" exhaust and CAI plus some lowered springs and Strut Top Brace which I highly recommend. I Wouldn't mind checking out some BC Racing Coilovers and even a Whiteline Rear Sway Bar for it someday too
This was in my recommended. Seeing as I'm a diesel performance freak yes daily a celica, I would love to hear this guy talk about the larger and heavier diesel engines i.e. cummins and duramax and what they're capable of
Will do diesels eventually too. I just started and there's an incredibly long list of engines I want to talk about. Love the Cummins behemoth btw :)
