G'day, a friend of mine has an XP10 1.3 litre Echo from around the year 2000, and for a laugh, we got to discussing what it would take to put the engine out of a Toyota CH-R into it, the 8NR-FTS Turbo engine. So my questions are these:
do the 2NZ-FE and the 8NR-FTS engine share the same bellhousing pattern?
will the engine mounts be similar?
is it all going to physically fit in the engine bay?
will the CH-R motor destroy the gearbox from the echo? will it break driveshafts?
how much boost can the CH-R engine run?
what about the brakes? the echo brakes are barely adequate at the best of times, so maybe the CH-R brakes will fit?
will a Haltech ECU run it all ok?
Is there anything else you'd like to add? anything I haven't thought of?
Cheers, Gab
Pretty sure that engine is direct injection, so no a Haltech ECU will not run it, unless you convert the engine to port injection. Im always a fan of motor conversions, so good luck with your project. Ive been dreaming about putting a super charged V6 camery engine in the back of a pruis.... sleepers are so much fun.
