Troubleshooting and repair of the 2ZZ-GE engine
2ZZ-GEIn 1999, Yamaha engineers developed a sporty version of the ZZ engine – 2ZZ-GE with a high compression ratio of 11.5, under 95 or 98 gasoline. It received a new composite cylinder block, under the crankshaft with a reduced stroke and larger cylinder diameter (compared to 1ZZ), improved VVTL-i timing system, which is a conventional VVTi from 1ZZ-FE, but after 6200 rpm valve lift increases to 11.2/10.0 mm and the motor produces its 190 hp at 7600 rpm. For some markets the power is reduced to 164-180 hp.
In addition to the basic motor, there were also compressor versions, based on Eaton M45 supercharger with a pressure of 0.25 bar and 220 hp, as well as based on Eaton M62 compressor, pressure 0.3 bar, 225 hp. Subsequently, the M62 1.8 liter 2ZZ was inflated to 240 and 260 hp. Compressor motors went only for Lotus and the compressed Corolla.
Faults and their causes
- High oil consumption. This problem awaits all owners of 2ZZ after 150 thousand kilometers, oil consumption indicates the approaching capital, you can delay the moment by making raskoksovka, but after a while everything will return and it will be time to choose, either overhaul or purchase a contract engine.
- Noisy work, engine knocking. The problem, as well as on 1ZZ, in the timing chain, the issue is solved by its replacement.
- Floating revolutions, the problem is in the trivial throttle block and idle valve, clean and check.
Among other things, the VVTL-i system is very capricious and to make everything work like clockwork, once in 50 thousand km., it is necessary to carry out replacement of elevator bolts, otherwise there is a possibility of system failure and as a consequence loss of power after 6000 rpm. In terms of resource, the engine 2ZZ-GE is as disposable as 1ZZ, lives, on average, about 200 thousand kilometers, after which it is changed to a contract 2ZZ or something else, 3S-GTE for example.
Tuning the engine Toyota 2ZZ-GE
Chip tuning. Atmo
Atmospheric tuning of 2ZZ is not the most popular way, it is considered that the motor is squeezed to the maximum, but it is not so))) What are we going to do? Porting of the cylinder head, alignment of head channels, manifold, sawing of channels, lightweight valves, lightweight TRD Cylinder under high compression 13, MWR St.3 shafts, 440cc injectors, DD performance intake manifold, 90mm choke, 4-2-1 straight-through exhaust, Apexi Power FC tuning. This will give about 250 pure atmospheric horses.
Turbo on a 2ZZ-GE/2ZZ-GTE
Due to the prevalence of the motor, there are time-tested going solutions on the market. To build a proper turbo, we will need Darton liners, Wiseco pistons under compression ratio 8.8, standard connecting rods, light valves and springs Monkey Wrench Racing, increased oil pan, pump Walbro 255 lph, injectors 700cc, turbo kit with intercooler based on Garrett GT28, exhaust pipe 63mm, tuning Apexi Power FC. You’ll get 300+ hp. To get 400hp, change factory connecting rods to Crower, 800cc injectors, exhaust on 76mm pipe.
Compressor on 2ZZ
Installing a mechanical supercharger on a 2ZZ is the easiest and most urban option for refinishing. Famous companies (Blitz, Greddy have long been producing full bolt on kits (compressor, manifold, bypass valve, it remains just to take and put them on a standard piston, adjust on Apexi Power FC. At a pressure of 0.5 bar, the motor gives out up to 250-260 hp without much trouble.
