I'll have to get it up on a lift and see what needs to be trimmed and maybe reboxed to keep the strength (takes cojones to start hacking on the subframe assembly)

i think the best way to get an extra 100 hp is to hitch up 100 horses ya know real horses an have them pull yer car around of course your emissions will go through the roof but natural fertlizer is the way to go

Got the picture from echodrivers.com. From what very little the poster had to say, it seems like Toyota commissioned this swap, but was very tight lipped about it. I have no idea where the picture was taken from.

Yes but how much will a built up 2zz setup cost? when you can easily run 7psi on a stock 1zz.I agree if I(had money and)were to go all out I would have a fully built FI 2zz

185 reliable HP with a 6 speed tranny is very nice...

The thing about a 2zz is that that motor is a complete dog before lift hits. and it's only 180hp, normally.With these cars the biggest fitment problem would be the 6spd trans , you could however use the 5spd 1zz tranny with either 1zz or 2zz motor.

With the 2zz in the engine bay... tranny and everything... would the shocks/springs be upgraded to something beefier?? How about all that weight shift? Lighter radiator? Carbon fiber hood/panels? Relocated trunk battery? More power=More speed=More stopping power? Big brakes? I like the idea of the motor swap... just want to be prepared for problems that I might not see until afterwards.
