With the 2zz out you might as well get the billet oil pump as it's another weak point, the OEM one is made of sintered alloy and basically explodes on a money shift or sustained high rpm's. A Moroso oil pan with scrapers and an extended oil pick up is also a must when tracking on sticky tyres and pulling over 1G. Do it once do it right 😁👍
This is what these cars are best for, you guys help shine a light on 2 very under rated cars that people gloss over and think are shite.

All vvti and vvtli require baffled sump unfortunately I found out the hard way with a 3zz. Don't listen to all the crap though 2zz are a great wee engines, proof the celica sits with a stripped ep3!
Why is the first corner at Donington so slippy?! I drove there in January on semi slicks, the rest of the track was ok but that first corner was lethal!
You need to upgrade the oil pump. It's the main component that causes oil related engine failures on this engine. I believe there is an aftermarket performance oil pump made for the Lotus cars that have the same engine, it fixes the reliability problem. Edit: Check out this information. It has everything you need to know: www.monkeywrenchracing.com/tech-2zz-race-track-prep/
When I bought my ep3, I made a big overhaul. Trackday cars need alot of maintenance. Removed air con. Replaced radiator. Instaled oil cooler. Gearbox oil, engine oil, new spark plugs, bafled sump, checked valve lash, replaced a couple pulleys
Sounds like the best thing to do! This EP3 has been very well prepared but unfortunately it looked like a small stone hit the radiator causing it to leak.

Yeah ik. If only they came with the baffled sump. Life would be easier. They are great motors when they are baffled. Mines got 260,000 and I beat the shit out of it
Hey guys, brand new to your channel. Your Black-Flagged at Blyton Park popped up in my feed and I just came from that. Liked and subbed. Can you explain why you need a baffled sump and how that would have prevented, you know, your engine from blowing up? I'm guessing that this is only needed if you're going to be driving on a track because, when in high speed corners, the oil would slosh to one side of a regular sump and not be able to flow through the engine. Is that correct? For non-hooligan road use, is a baffled sump necessary? I'm newly the owner of a 2001 Celica GTS (US Spec) with the 2ZZ engine. Long story short I suddenly needed a car last month when my wife needed my car for her own commute (switched to driving from train), and I lucked out as my Dad had been looking to sell his high miles GTS for months with no luck. I grew up driving manuals but haven't driven a manual for near on 15 years and now I have this lovely lovely sports car. The engine is an absolute riot and I'm pinching myself that I got this car for next to nothing. My dad's a mechanical genius - for example he rebuilt the transmission on it 2 years ago - and the car's in awesome shape, but she's got 275,000 miles on her, and I need to know what to watch out for so I get as much life out of this gem of a car as possible. I have no intention to track the car (famous last words)...
The egg trick is only a temp fix, before you replace the radiator you just flush the coolant passages in the block and heater, that’ll get the egg residue out.
The main issue with the 2ZZ is the fact that has a habit of remaining in the head under high rpm conditions which is why some of you guys might have had problems even with a Moroso sump. Could be worth looking into having an external head oil drain fitted.
Hi guys, I always like your videos, how about a new one explaining how you prep the Clio? I'm interested in a RS 182 so it will come pretty handy, cheers
Hi there guys! I am saving money for a hot hatch, and I was considering a 172/182 Clio, I absolutely crave one, but I have begun to wonder if a Civic Type R is a better choice overall.. Since you've had a go with both, which one is more of a driver's car and more fun of the two? P.s Love your vids! You got some skills! Cheers!
Thanks for the comment! The Clios have a more playful chassis so can be made to move around more easily, but the Civic is more competent and has an incredible engine!
@@CamberandCombustion Tough one! But in the end I think i 'll go for driving drama over sheer results, and I like more the looks of the little baguette! ! Thanks for the reply, stay awesome!
I agree I think the EP3 is a better car. I've a 182... they're temperamental and difficult to work on however when you shut the door and start the engine you've got £3K-£5K left over in your pocket from not buying the Honda.
@@GeVoly take the clio ,best car i ever had. playfull ,easy to predict (in the dry) , relaible , sleeper and i really like the looks .everytime i see photo'''s of a clio 172/182 i think of mine.
greig western Well it did a few days with stock sump and oil brimmed just past the line, this time I didn’t stress it and oil was just brushing the max line, maybe 1mm below and kaboom. Also bear in mind this was a 165k mile engine. Hopefully moroso sump plus keeping the oil level above max will keep it alive.
Love your videos! Hilarious fwd oversteer, clearly having loads of fun and you have the skills as well :) Please could you tell me which brake master cylinder you fitted? I recently bought a ZZT231 and want to do this upgrade! Thank you :)
@@brianmessemer2973 I was exiting a motorway slip road in the UK, long sweeping letter hand turn, at about 50mph, when it straightened up it started knocking quietly and then got worse over the next few minutes. I believe I started the engine of oil. I cannot confirm the oil level before though, it was ok
@@anthonybelton-ford3124 Wow, not good 😢 Having watched this video I'm thinking about going with a baffled sump on my car. Did you rebuild the 2ZZ or do an engine swap after that?
@@brianmessemer2973 I'd recommend the moroso sump, or at least the 1zz sump. I didnt rebuild it, I wouldn't know where to start! I paid a company called se7en motorsports to supply and fit an engine. Think it cost me £1200 roughly. It happened 1 month after buying the car too! Good luck
Wow, those cars handle pretty bad, corner entry oversteer followed by corner exit understeer ... nice driving, but horrible car setup/balance. Tires maybe bad, but that's not the problem, car balance is ... I know front wheel drive on some of those cars, but the Celica is rear ... still ... oiling isn't the problem, if that's the 2ZZ motor then valves and the roller rockers are very weak links (also need to drill out oil vain in the valve train) ... you just aren't pulling enough sustained G's for oiling problems at the sump level. But with that said, a higher capacity baffle oil pan is always a good thing provide the baffles are done correctly.
HI Robin, thanks for the comment! All these cars are front wheel drive. The tyres on the Clio really were dead and that makes a huge difference to the way it drives. Fresh rubber next time out!
Celica rwd? When? A friend of mine melted his mr2 (2zz swap) with shitty 2004 tires. It is a common problem By the way hearing that those cars handle bad is the biggest bullshit I heard this year... Drive a saxo/106, clio RS from MK1 to 3, Mégane rs (almost any french pocket rocket) or any fookin civic and you will take your words back. Playful chassis is not bad handling
@@CamberandCombustion Oh that's right, Celica is FWD ... sorry I'm used to having the 2ZZ classified as "mid engine" in my Lotus. Agree, fresh rubber is always better but it shouldn't make a difference to car balance (assuming 4 tires are of equal usage duration). I have A LOT of experience with the 2ZZ when racing my Lotus, it's a very fragile motor.
So what I've learned here is a track day is an expensive way to ruin your car. Surely it would be much cheaper to leave it in a dodgy area go watch a film and return to the same result haha
so, if i follow the video.... cheap fun indestructible track daily... buy a clio 172 :). Good, i have two but let s be honest, i did already blow out an engine once :)
The UK definitely looks like a nice place to live in as a car guy. Cheap cars & quality tracks everywhere :) great vid !
@@blackmafia6031 Indeed some roads don't look that good but in my opinion the amount of tracks compensate
@@blackmafia6031 yes and we have a selection cars at a price to suit all budgets can't complain on that front
Really cheap cars. In 09/2018 I bought a 2004 civic type-r for 17,500 Euros, with 125K kilometers. Even a Mazda mx5 or a civic B16 costs around 5500€
Try paying 2,600gbp to insure a 1.2 75bhp car with a blackbox device that tracks speed and driving habbits, not so good for young drivers.
