  1. Care, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting
    Hey all, I want to play around and tune my 2zz for a few pops and bangs (yes, I'm a child) but I don't want to damage my exhaust valves or risk them moving out of place. Does anyone know if the 2zz can handle pressure in the exhaust, and how durable the exhaust valves, valve lifters, and other...
  2. Performance Modifications
    Hello, I was wondering if it is safe to lower the lift point/crossover on a 2zz engine with just stock internals. I would only be lowering lift by 500-1k less with an Apexi, nothing any more than those numbers.

    Hi everyone, I live in the UK and I have a tidy example of a car. I managed to blow up the 1zz in it a few months back so the car has been in my garage for the past while. I’ve just dropped out the motor and I have a late 2005 Uk celica 2zz ready to install over the next couple of weeks. Most...

    Hello, there are two products on MWR that have to do with the 2zz billet oil pumps. Standard and Coated. MWR does not specify the differences between the two, only between the OEM and I'd like to know more about what this "coating" does to the pump gears themselves. Any insight? Thank you...

    Happy New Year everyone, I have a lot I'm going to post here but to keep it brief I own a 2003 MR2 that runs its stock 1zz and a turbo with about 9-10psi of boost. It runs great and I have a lot of plans for the car. Can I swap a 2zz in (plus what will I need) and keep the turbo I'm running...

    Hi everyone, TLDR: my car won't start and I can't tell what it could be, as I can hear the starter. There's audio in the linked videos below, this is what I hear when attempting a start...maybe electrical issue? Hoping for advice because I miss my car :( In June, I replaced my crank pulley...

    Hello all, My 2zz developed a weird issue on track. When lift kicks, there's absolutely no power, just sound. I can feel a dip in the power at WOT when lift kicks. i just got my car back from a local lotus specialist but they arent able to track the issue down. Fuel flow and pressure is good...

    I'm finishing up a forged 2zz build that I am going to run N/A and then turbo later using a Link ECU wired as a "standalone", but retaining the OEM ecu for gauges, A/C, etc (not quite piggyback, not quite standalone). While I have the intake manifold off and easy access to the back of the motor...

    Long story, but I bought a jdm 2zz and the vvti doesn’t kick the timing at 6k. I have searched but cannot find a how-to on lift bolt replacement. Can anyone link to a thread or anywhere that explains exactly how to replace? I literally don’t even know where they are. Not sure if i just can’t...
