2zz swap? Options

[yaj204]

has anyone done or think about doing a 2zz-ge swap to a 99 celica gt? i was looking at my brothers corolla xrs's motor mounts and both the motor mounts seems to be simular.. i think it can be done but will it pass smog and emission test?

I think that some of you don't understand what is real HP and real Torque.

Torque is rotational force.

Torque formula :

T = R x F

R = radius (wheel diameter/2 for WHP)
F = Force applied on a certain point at the end of the radius (force applied to the ground) unit is lbs or newton

HP = power (quantity of watt)

Hp come from torque and the only other value that can affect HP for a same torque is RPM

HP formula :

HP = torque (lbs-ft) * RPM/5252

So, supposing a 3sgte : 200 lbs-ft @ 3200 RPM

HP = 200*3200/5252

So, HP @ 3200 RPM = 122HP

So, supposing a 2ZZ : 130lbs-ft @ 6800 RPM

HP = 130*6800/5252

So, HP @ 6800 RPM = 168 HP

Those maths are only example, but I only want to clarify some little things that people don't understand. HP cannot be measured. Torque can be measured. Hp is calculated from torque and RPM.

High torque mean high HP at low RPM

Small torque mean High HP at high RPM

So, now you can make a choice, do you want to have big HP at 8000RPM or do you want more torque = HP appear at lower RPM.

This is only to clarify little things, if I made a mistake or if you think that what I'm saying is wrong, please let me know.
