  • Which one sounds better? The 4A-GE or the 2zz? Do you prefer the sound of ITB's or Exhaust pops and burbles?
    Corolla FX16 GTS or Lotus Elise?
    In this video i am comparing two great engines from toyota under starlight so you can hear the differences.

    How 2ZZ-GE was born
    4A-GE Blacktop: I will give him my high revs, VVT system, high power to displacement ratio, high performance Yamaha head and the raspy sound
    1ZZ-FE: I will give him my tech, reliability and family name
    After 9 months:
    2ZZ-GE: Lets go drivin

    The good thing with the corolla is you can floor it for a longer period without going illegally fast..

  • @MrYannmarto
    @MrYannmarto 6 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    4A-GE with ITB is definetly the most satisfying engine sound i've ever heard. Two thumbs up for the 2ZZ but the Corolla takes the price no doubts.

  • @typefresh7314

    4A-GE with ITB's always wins. I love how it blows out the mic. You should do another Battle with these two like you did with the Civic.

    4a-g sounds so much better. The power deficit doesn't matter (to me) when you sound like that!

  • @ppha7665

    The sound of the 4AGE is bringing back Initial D cartoons all over again.

  • @adamdrumonde1664
    @adamdrumonde1664 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Awesome comparison. These two are almost apples to oranges. The 4AG sounds throaty and muscular, while this particu;ar 2ZZ sounds punchy, tight, and almost bike-engine-like. They're definitely two of the best 4 cylinder sounds, but my vote has to go to the 4AG by a tiny margin. The 4AG I can't imagine getting tired of and that sound would always be addictive; the 2ZZ on the other hand I can imagine getting tired of...

    • @sushpants
      @sushpants  7 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      The Matrix XRS must be a really awesome car. People that have them love them too much to get rid of them so there are never any for sale!

    • @mcarpen89
      @mcarpen89 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      sushpants it is really good. Toyota didn't advertise them very well so they didn't sell many of them with that option. Mine has 217k miles but still drives like it's new and doesn't use any oil at all.

    • @celsodelacruz4060
      @celsodelacruz4060 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    • @supra1722
      @supra1722 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      the 2ZZ is the perfect successor to the 16v 4A-GE. T-VIS-to VVTL-i. blacktop ITB treatment on the 2ZZ would be perfect. that's the ultimate goal for my 2ZZ AW11.

    • @formulajuan5762
      @formulajuan5762 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I daily drove an AE82 twin cam for 7 years, and now daily a ZZE123 Corolla Sportivo, and I honestly can't think of anything beyond perhaps reliability that the 4AGE had over the 2ZZGE. The ZZE123 is at least twice as quick, despite weighing 300 odd kgs more than the AE82, the 2ZZ pumps out a lot more power, while using the same amount of fuel, if not less, than the 4AGE, the 2ZZ sounds a lot better stock for stock, but only at 6200rpm and over, below that the 4A sounds slightly better.
      The only downside I can see to the 2ZZ is it could prove less reliable because of the MMC cylinder liners and all alloy construction. The 4AGE I ran for 7 years had half a million kms on it when I got rid of it, and it still ran pretty well, despite me thrashing the shit out of it for years essentially not caring if I killed it. Pushed it so hard on my last proper mountain road drive in that car that the front brakes caught fire lol. I can't see the ZZE123 I daily atm coming anything close to putting up with that kind of abuse.

  • @AlejandroBelloRD
    @AlejandroBelloRD 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I'm maybe biased, because of Initial D and owning a 20-valve GTI, but the 4AGE sounds AWESOME. The best of the for a 4-banger.

  • @Ottobon
    @Ottobon 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Really cool comparison. I have trouble choosing between these two engines as they share alot of the iconic Yamaha cylinder head sound. Intake sounds better on 4age(seems to have ITBs so it would), exhaust sounds a hair better on 2zz imo.

  • @B10401
    @B10401 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Man, they both sound so good! Quite similar too, but I'm a bit into the ITB sound on the 4age so I guess I'd go with that. Lotus sounds more like a sportbike, which is cool too!
    Thanks Sushpants!

  • @SimonTrent8000

  • @da_aloha_z2403
    @da_aloha_z2403 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    They both sound beautiful. But it really depends if you want a smoothish race car sound, or a aggressive 4 banger attacking the touge.

    The distinctive sound of a high revving 4age, power wise 2zzge won. But i always had one sided love with 4age.
    It will not be long, 2zzge with ITBs.

  • @ricepony33
    @ricepony33 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Great stuff, love these sound battles.
    Corolla is my preference sound wise.
    The lotuses always sound better from outside the car in my experience, more like a sport bike if you run a test pipe.
    Imo the cam change over and transmission ratios are poorly matched stock. It forces you to drive a smooth car in an overly aggressive fashion to extract speed.
    Loved that old supercharged miata whine too.

    • @sushpants
      @sushpants  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For all out power, the 2zz is the way to go. The 2zz is more of an evolution like the k20 became after the b18, but, the 2zz just doesn't have a great sounding induction noise which is why it's more often covered with a loud exhaust.

    To me, the preference doesn't really matter. I have a Toyota Celica GT and my original 1zz sounds like the 4A-GE and the custom motor I'm putting in my Celica IS the lotus Elise 2zz full swap in all. I think both of them have their distinct unique sounds that I like.

    Disregarding the fact that the 2ZZ goes like the bomb, and just thinking pure sound...
    The 2ZZ just buzzes, not saying it sucks as an engine or anything, but its just too new, too perfected, to have an actual unique sound.
    Whereas the 4AGE has all the 70-80`s tech, designed with traditional methods, and a bit of 90`s stuff like ITB`s, ODB and it still retains traditional distributor (albeit electronic) instead of COP`s etc, and as a result it just sounds better.
    I think even 2ZZ with ITB`s doesnt sound as good as any 4A-GE.

    What kind of brake pads are you running? I seriously recommend you aren't already, run brake pads designed to not overheat past 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. My personal recommendation for a daily driver touge brake pad is the Endless MX72. For my vehicle, because it's a slightly-overweight crossover, I run the Endless MX72PLUS as an extra precaution against severe fade for long downhill runs. If you're not looking to spend an absurd amount, G-Loc, Carbotech, and Project Mu's Thailand-made brake pads are good options too.

    I've owned both, and the 2ZZ is better in every single way, including sound. The 4A has a grunty induction noise, but the 2ZZ blows it away as soon as it hits lift. From the video, it sounded like you were short shifting the 2ZZ in the driving and launch comparisons. Didn't hear it hit lift at all.

    4age wins it, just. both are good, but the 4a has more of a range, more of that lovely twin-cam rasp, it's both deeper and more raw sounding. It alos sounded like it was louder to me.Tthe 2zz sounds good, but it sounds like it's got a turbo muffling the intake and exhaust, and kida sounds too high-tech. Both great, but 4A all day when it comes to that sound...
