Would the Tc kit fit the 09 Vibe?

Post by HellBlazer »

I've been doing some research and see that the 2AZ-FE engine in the 09 Vibe is similar to the engine in the 05-06 Scion Tc. Im sure there would be some slight modifications to fit correctly, but would all the hardware and placement be similar between the two (i.e., header flanges being similar, engine accessories in the same location)?

Why don't you do custom,probably work out cheaper and you won't have to wait for a kit to come out.Because the TC or Camry kit will not fit.

Are the header flanges at least the same. I could fab on up, but almost have the time involved goes into making a header. If I could by one already fabbed up, it would minimize downtime and make the build alot easier. Even doing minor cutting/relocating on a entire kit already built is sometimes easier than starting from scratch

I would say the flanges are the same,so I think it will bolt up.But,not exactly sure if the length would be the same.The only way you'll really find out is if you try it.

Werd, I think if I find one cheap enough and close enough on Ebay I might snatch it up. I'd hate to pay $4k for a kit and have it not fit
