Hi all,
Friend has an import 2003 Toyota Voxy with 2L petrol lump (1AZ-FSE) with auto cvt gearbox I think.
Engine been running like a dog from the day he bought it over a year ago. He was at my house lastnight and talked about swapping engine… he then left my house to go home and the engine refused to start.
Nothing obvious stands out to why it’s not starting unless timing chain has failed.
He was talking about engine swapping for something else… I suggested a t sport 189bhp from celica/corolla may be a good swap but I know nothing of the workings on how to actually go about doing this.
Can that engine be paired with this gearbox or is he best changing the gearbox also?
Any advice of what engine would be a handy enough swap or any advice at all would be appreciated
Don’t say scrap the car lol
Cheers
Joe
