id take a beams black top out of the altezza over a 2zz anyday


you have no idea what you are talking about. the 2ZZ is the best NA engine toyota ever built. no other, i repeat no other, 1.8L engine made 180HP except one, and that was the integra type R engine.

the 2ZZ is hands down an awesome engine. the only reason they fail is because they were not taken care of. yes they had issues with lift bolts in the 2000-02 years but other than that...nothing...



1.8 making 180. how about a 2.0 making 205hp na? give me an altezza with the 3sge in in anyday over a 7th gen. know lots of people who have had the 2zz and they took care of it and still broke on them. and the best na motor by toyota is hard to claim for something that was so problematic.
