XB Engine Swap

Has anyone seen any engine swaps in the scion XB? my buddy blow his motor and was thinking about putting a TC motor in his XB. is this possible? i dont know anything about those damn things

the xb has the tiny yarus motor, and the tc shares the camry motor, not a direct fit!

The engine bay is tight to begin with, so putting anything bigger in would take some serious fabrication. In my opinion, your money would be better spent on a good turbo or supercharger setup.
While you're at it, get an Echo final drive for the transaxle- it lowers (numerically) the final ratio, which will make that power a bit more usable.

Good luck, and if you go through with the engine swap keep us posted!
Back when I had mine, I had a grand vision of an EJ20 Subaru WRX engine mounted in the back, with flared arches and a tubular subframe... then reality set back in and I sold it!

ive read through about 45,000 scion forums and have not see one person thats swapped anything in an xb and finished. they have all just said there going to or have seen one but i cant get any info or pics on it.

im not trying to be in the dark with a motor i have no clue about so i might just tell him to get a stock motor unless ive found someones whos compelted a swap.

screw the 4 cyl. should just get a 350 and 350 turbo. no replacement for displacemnt lol

Yeah, I remember looking into it some when we firt got ours. Lots of talk about Celica GT or MR2 motors being simple swaps but no info or pics.
