Shed a couple hundred pounds and no need for as much boost and keep your handling characteristics closer to what they are now.

Any progress on the swap? Are you still considering offering a kit for the masses?

You should just go all out and do a 1UZFE swap into an xA. There'd be a lot of cutting and welding involved, but considering the motor can be had for $700 and rear diffs are cheap, it might be worth all the work for a 250rwhp xA...

LOL could go even easier than that and get like an S2000 rear differential, and have some custom output shafts made.

The work has begun but trying to decide to offer a bolt in kit to the "masses"..ie motor mounts, axle conversion, wire harness conversion as a kit.

Their would be no cutting involved as it would come with a whole new crossmember.

Just looking for some insight as to what the market would bare and if it would be desired.

Todd

So has it been done yet. this would be a great way to spend my income tax money
