@Evercreeper I don't get the stigma behind muffler deletes... as long as your exhaust still has a resonator and cats, it will sound good, and certainly won't be that loud. But if the 4 cylinder sound just isn't your thing... then oh well.
ge is the sub variant, g=performace twin cam head e=efi zz is the engine designation and 2 represents the displacent so 2zz-ge is the 1.8 version of the zz engine, with a performance twin cam head and efi most "g" heads are designed by yamaha which is why they sound good and slightly motorbike like as a 4age owner myself, i couldnt agree more, most engines with a g head sound amazing
@@DLTX1007yeah the 1zz is oversquare and the f head is matched to suit the burn characteristics of having a longer stroke, if driven a late 90s rolla with a 1zz, very easy to drive
@@bagelhunt Well, yes, but actually no. When I say engine noise, I mean the roar of the engine you hear from the intake and the engine itself, not the noise coming out of the exhaust.
Love the 2ZZ. Underrated engine. Mine has hit the big cam nearly every day since it left the factory in 2005 and it still runs like a charm. Wicked build man
Gotta love when the vvt changes and the secondaries open. Super aggressive. Love it in old Yamaha v6 taurus sho's. Both this and the sho engines worked with Yamaha.(before nsx and honda coining vtec)
I feel the same way about my Integra GSR. 386,000 miles on the original drivetrain, but I still love winding out to 8K RPM on highway on ramps. The secondary intake runners opening at around 5,500 RPM just sounds glorious.
Awesome ! Can't wait to get my 2zz AE92 running ! The sound we are hearing in this video is recorded in the cabin, or do you have a mic in the engine bay ?
The 2ZZ is awesome in this car. Not an easy swap but worth it in my opinion! No external mic. The whole thing is recorded on a iPhone. The engine screams LOUD in the cabin! Thanks for the reply!
@@alsoleak7196 In what car are you swapping the 2zz? I have a corolla intake manifold which bend upwards like you might know. In the AE92 there is not much room for a CAI with the battery in its original location. I routed the intake pipe to the back of the engine with a cold air feed to the back of the engine also. That's why it is ultra loud inside. ITB setup would be awesome but you might not have the same loudness. (at least not in the cabin)
@@EnginesRMymusic I'm swapping a 2zz in my AE92 GTI. Yeah there's not much room for a proper routing with the battery in the bay. My 2zz comes from a Celica. I will have to cut the battery support anyway because the shift mechanism is on the opposite side on the Celica gearbox, and it hits the battery support. How did you mount the engine on the timing side ? I'm curious. Apparently you can just flip the original 4age mount and make a plate, is that what you did ?
@@alsoleak7196 A real GTI, thats awesome! The 2zz is a good and quite unique choice. I can confirm that you have to cut the battery support bracket in order for a Celica box to fit. Routing the Celica shift cables is not an easy task with the header in place, some tight bends you have to make.. There is a way to get the battery under the hood but its pretty tight. The Celica ecu and wiring are under the hood also and even that will fit i can confirm. My AE92 got an 2E-E from the factory so i cut the whole mount out of the chassis and welded the 2zz corolla mount back to the chassis. Pretty easy in my case. Most trouble came from the rear gearbox mount. quite a bit of custom work needed. How far in the process are you with the swap?
Sounds great. Its unfortunate that AE cars are all so hard to find in the UK. The only ones still around are Japan import or the odd (very very rare) UK spec AE86s.
If you are interested in just the 2zz, then we in the UK are lucky enough to get lotus, corolla t-sport and the latest gen celica (make sure it's the 2zz). The 2zz didn't come with this generation corolla but had the also nice 4age iirc. But yeah, an 86 in the UK would be stupid money, as well as the additional age-related stuff, and honestly speaking, I'm not sure there are many similar newer NA cars, even within the AE range, which had a FR layout. I had a 2zz mr2 (mk3 frog) swap, but now I have an fn2. I honestly think the 2zz is the best sounding 4 cylinder.
Lol your vid is going viral. I own a zz230 celica that originally had the 1zzfe but I swapped to the 2zzge, have it for years now, it's just too much fun. Car is incredibly stable and controllable, always understeer which is just instantly solved by releasing the throttle, can ride that understeer edge through the corners
I'd highly recommend getting a front strut brace. It'll get rid of the understeer and body roll, making it stick to the bends. It's honestly a night and day difference for a simple mod.
That thing loves redline I swear, Toyota and Yamaha did really well with this engine. 1zzs go alright as well for economy engines, great torque on the corolla sedans
Thought this was going to be someone showing how "great" their stock economy car sounds when bouncing off the factory rev limiter at 6000 something. But this is so, so much better.
My first Toyota was a 2000 Celica GT, 1ZZ-FE with a lazy 4-speed automagic, but honked and screamed the same. It's fallen on hard times and I'd like to restore it back to health someday.
I know, that You guys are enthusiasts of those engines, but really. I mean really, what is so impressing with that sound? Is sounds like a small 4 banger that has been spinned, that all of it.
Kinda takes me back to the time when I still used to think my AE92 was a cool car. Great first car but after some time it just got so boring so I decided to find something more exciting.
I get that. You have to make these cars cool yourself. The original engine is kinda cool but not fun at all. Mine became a one of a kind 90s hothatch (192 hp 900kg) to have fun in on the off days and I think that pretty awesome.

It was written in the title 2ZZ-GE, which means Toyota valves lifting VVTL-i.

Yamaha did a great job on this engine!
In a world where almost every car comes equipped with an inhaler nowadays these old school engines are music to my ears 👌🏼
NA induction will always be my favourite sound. This thing is just nuts. Love it!
The joy of listening to an atmospheric engine that can rev high.
Perfect engine, perfect power output, perfect weight of the car! And that sound!
i love that when you rev it to the limiter but stil economic

the valve lift is so aggressive I love it

Truly amazing, no doubt that jdm was in it's own category during the 90s...

Very Initial D sounding 😎 was expecting the little speed chime to come on as you accelerated
and you still have great economy. Incredible.
