- Taking the Echo out for its maiden trackday voyage since being a near standard car.
Results were awesome!
I was very happy with how it went, I was wondering if it would reach 200kph on the straight.
It managed 196.9kph which was pretty close.
However I found that the motor was running a bit hot, reaching 108 degrees.
So the ECU was pulling ignition timing as a safety factor.
So it was only reaching 16 degrees advance by 8000rpm, so not running at full power.
This means that with a better radiator setup I'd likely hit 200k which is awesome.
I'll get things fixed up and give it another try.
It was also the first time trying an e-throttle rev match function, so I didnt need to heel toe at all - could just stay 100% on the brakes while the ECU sorted it. It was absolutely awesome! Wish I'd done this sooner.
Here's a basic rundown of the setup:
2005 Toyota Echo 3 door
2016 1NZFXE engine
Jun 264 deg cams / BC valve springs
BMW S1000RR e-throttle ITB setup
Garage4AGE built long 4-1 manifold with 3" exhaust
Link G4+ Xtreme ECU
Converted to manual rack
14x6 Rays Engineering wheels with second hand 185/60/14 R888R
Car weighs around 800ish KG, with 140ish horsepower at the wheels.
(Dynoed 141hp at wheels while it had standard exhaust)
Really happy with how everything went for a first time out.
Driving on Pukekohe track was really awesome.
That guy in the C63 must've got the shock of his life when he's overtaken by an Echo AHHAHA
This video brings me so much happiness I put it on whenever I need cheering up.
Haha thanks Graeme. God it was fun!
For a Prius engine that’s absolutely insane man! I shared (if you don’t mind) about this car on Instagram and it left a few people confused, I don’t think anyone has heard of a prius swapped car. I can’t speak for them but I’m all here for it, it’s a pretty damn cool build man! That exhaust sounds glorious!
Hey thanks for that! Yes it doesnt sound like a combo that makes sense, but it works out well haha.
If you want a bit more of an overview of the car, the guys from Moving Our World put together this awesome video when I went to the drags which covers some other bits in more detail.
Only thing that has really changed since this, is finally putting a good exhaust on it.

LOL, never expected an Echo making out as a track weapon. Good driving!
Thanks, it's gone a lot better than expected.
That’s what makes it great
Why does this make me smile so much 😂
I love how you nodded this Toyota echo..you don't need a two door sports car always to have fun like this!
This sounds so good!
Man, this blew my mind! I was thinking about getting my 2 door Echo a 2ZZ swap but good ones are unobtanium. Prius engines are more attainable. You were hauling ass in that track! Thank you for this, it gives me hope for my budget build 🔥
Yes I feel the same way. 2ZZ is a great motor! But they are hard to find. You really need to buy a whole car to do the swap and that's beyond my budget.
The end result would be amazingly fast, just need to look at some of the Puerto Rico 2ZZ Echos running 10 second quarter miles NA!
But also, my 1NZ car is running faster than a lot of standard 2ZZ powered cars. And can keep pace with some of the Hondas as well. So I'm more than happy with how everything has turned out.
I have no plans of putting any other engine into this car.
nuts sound and great driving!
There isn't much in life that's more fun than smashing expensive gear in a well-sorted shitbox at a public track day. Seeing you pass that Merc over the top of the hill was delightful.
Fantastic - keeping things (un)real since forever
Sick! Only problem is I want the same setup now 😂
Beautiful noise
Fucken DOOOOOORT
this car made it to motortrend.. so good 🤟🏼🤟🏼
Dude is a driving piece!!!
piece of amazing one would assume?
Sounds awesome!
man I have my 2001 platz aka echo for 17 years now and it feel awesome to watch this video bro :)
Awesome. Ive had this car for about 9 years now. I bought it as second owner with 30,000km on it. I drove it completely standard to 200,000km, and it was awesome.
This is going to be your most viewed video yet. Just watch
NICE sounds.
Love it.. Wish I could get my EcoTec to stroll like that..
Brilliant!
It was great. Today was the first time trying e-throttle rev match. So I could just leave my foot on the brake pedal, motor blips it automatically. It was awesome!
The car looks and sounds like a blast to drive! I used to have a Yaris several years ago, I wish I had performance like this in it! It would have made highway merging alot less hair raising.
Agreed, I hate having to schedule my acceleration out 1-2 business days in advance when on the highway
That is nuts!
Thanks, heading back to same track on Jan 14th but on some slicks and with a better cooling system. As it was losing power from getting a bit too hot. But I was blown away by how well it ran!
Hell yeah
🤩🤩
Sounds amazing! You just need to do a C160 conversion now like I did. Makes it 100% more fun to row through the gears.
Yeah that would be cool, did you need to cut the frame rails on the car? Is it shorter than the C60?
is the short block standard? we don't get any performance variances of the engine here in the states so i had no clue what a prius motor could be. it has a smoother, throatier tone to it than a honda k series.
Yes standard everything apart from cams, valve springs, intake, exhaust.
Always wanted to do something like this when I had an Echo. Looks like a riot. I remember that gear ratio tho.. this is begging for a 6-speed if it hasn't had one put in already.
Yeah 6 speed would be cool, the C56 box is not too bad though. I parted out this car to work on another project, but probably would have stuck with the 5 speed. As 6 speed too hard to find a replacement if you blow one up.
@@roman3s I'm curious. Did you keep the motor to put into something interesting? Are the mods listed in this video everything you used to get to 9k rpm and 140whp? You used the factory 2016 prius c cam gears?
@adamdrumonde1664 a friend bought the engine, so it will go into a vitz RS at some point. Yes only those mods, I ran my fastest quarter mile time with a fully standard exhaust.
@adamdrumonde1664 yes can use the cam gears.
Having driven (what looks the same as a yaris inside) often, i can feel how terrible the steering position is here. That said, there are extension kits available to bring that wheel a good 2" closer to your chest than it is here. It's suggest doing so would give you even more control over the car.
Honestly I dont really mind the steering position, but maybe it's just because I'm used to it!
Awesome
What kind of suspension set up do you use? and have you found a rear anti roll bar or did you fab one or just not running one? im curious for my echo
Not running a rear sway. Its just dead weight when you can use stiffer springs instead. Im running a mix of ohlins (front) and hks (rear) coilovers.
Then some camber bolts in the front to get to -2.4 deg.
Using vitz RS front rotors/discs with znoelli pads. Rear is still factory drums because im too lazy to swap in the disc rear setup. Haha.
How did you make that much power from that engine? It produces 74 hp from factory. I read it has 13.4 physical comp ratio but 9.5 dynamic comp. Does it have to do with the cams?
Jun 264 deg cams, stiffer valve springs, ITB setup and a good exhaust.
Otherwise yes that 74hp motor to start with haha
@@roman3s With only those things it makes 141whp on a stock motor?
@@DimZin yes, needed bigger injectors too as standard ones maxxed out. Need an ecu to run it too obviously. Should be a little more now with good exhaust on it
@@roman3s You would have known that engine has so much potential
that exhaust is sounding so good. is this the 2nz still ?
This is 1NZFXE motor, with a long 4-1 manifold and ITB
Sounds like a Honda 🙃
Do you have any details on the S1000RR ITB by-wire setup?
What year BMW? What are you using as the throttle pedal/signal?
Seems like a really clever way to add ITBs to things using modern Standalone ECUs
Hi sorry for the incredibly late reply.
There are three variants of the S1000RR throttles.
Early ones have a cable pulley on them, but ethrottle motor.
Middle stage ones have no cable pulley, single ethrottle.
Later ones are dual ethrottle (two cyls each, for bike traction control)
The "middle" ones are the one to get. Then I bolted in an ethrottle accellerator pedal from an SCP13 vitz which had it from factory.
Then using a link ECU to control it.
Hello, good evening. I have a yaris ts 1.5. I would be interested. It is the preparation of the engine that it has. Greetings, thanks
The power of NZ engine! What is the brand of your exhaust? Sounds nice!
Hi, it was a long pipe 4-1 manifold, with a big barrel adrenalin R muffler in the tunnel. 3" pipe.
@@roman3s thanks!
Awesome sound 😮
There is no issue at 9000rpm from a stock 1nzfxe? About vvti pulley or oil pump?
VVTI works fine, no oil pump issues that I know of. The 1NZ has roughly the same stroke length as an S2000 motor, but a much smaller bore diameter.
It's definitely at or beyond the limit of what a cast piston can sustain. I did break a piston on a previous motor. But that was lots of 9200rpm limiter bashing doing burnouts at the drags... Not ideal haha.
Longer term really need to look at some forged pistons and rods.
@@roman3s thank you for these informations, I’m really thinking to do a similar swap and mods, plus in France I can run it with E85 fuel.
I saw your 1nzfxe is a 2016 model with electric water pump, a previous model with standard water pump is it ok?
@@franckys13 yes its an easier swap to use the earlier motor with the mechanical water pump.
I think you and I need to have a conversation.
For sure, Markku's told me a lot about your car.
Sounds awesome would love to check it out some time.
@@roman3s I've signed up for the drags in december at meremere. No slicks though. New rotor assembly cleared customs today so as long as I don't break anything else.....
@@iwanttobeamole awesome! Will see you there
Which engine and what mods i got a 1.5 and was wondering what you did with yours
Hi, its using a 1NZFXE motor from a hybrid car, with JUN cams, BC valve springs, an ITB setup and better exhaust.
2ZZ injectors as normal ones run out of flow, and a Link G4+ ECU
How did you convert the car to manual rack?
Early scp10 model came with manual rack
With shorter gearing that would be a lot quicker.
You should make a kit people can buy to do this swap themselves.
As this is the same gearbox as used by the 4AGE and turbo starlet and so on (C56) there are a few aftermarket options available.
However they're pretty expensive, one of the goals of this project is to try keep things cheap and easy.
@@roman3s I guess it seems a lot longer due to the higher rpm the motor can now do.
But as always, cheap racing is fun racing.
@@cartertwowheels3358 yes also exaggerated by the motor getting hottest in 4th/5th gear so was pulling the most power out. I think it will seem better when the cooling is sorted. Also im scheming a new wheel/tyre combo that should result in the equivalent of a 4.6 final drive compared to current. Which will help a little.
@@roman3s have you looked into an oil cooler?
Or just a bigger radiator and a thermostat that opens earlier?
@@cartertwowheels3358 these do not run a full width radiator, and theres usually a blanking panel on one side. But ive just got it open at the moment for air to itb.and my radiator is 200,000km old full of bugs and bent fins. I think a new standard radiator and some blanking/ducting and it will be sufficient.
Hey bro, maybe I can contact you and talk about this project? Interested in ITB’s for 1nz
How would a 1st gen celica handle a swap like this haha
Haha, would be pretty sweet! These are a crazy light engine, a little over 80kg - Will be an amazing handling difference to a T or R series engine. and a lot more rpm.
I've got an AA60 carina coupe that I'm now back working on. I was considering a 1NZ but went with a short stroke V6 as I want to hit 10k rpm for next build.
