USDM 2zz + JDM TRD stroke kit ( 2.0 ) = 220 HP,

when comparing the 3sge black top with the 2ZZ remember that the 3sge was not realesed in US so is a JDM emissions, I'm sure if it was brought over to US the HP numbers would have been lower due to the emissions restrcitions.

the JDM version of this engine puts out a 141 kW (189 hp), the USDM lose 9hp due to emission restrictions.

so let's use JDM numbers to compare

189 HP / 1.8 L = 105 Hp per liter

205 HP / 2.0 = 102.5

on top of these, the 2zz can rev higher than the 3sge stock. which makes it a great engine for racing applications ( kind of like the old school 4age but better lol ) Don't get me wrong the Beams black top is a GREAT engine, but out of the 2 the 2zz is a far better engine. the design, is just amazing, for a long time toyota didin't come with something like this. and is a shame there are not more plataforms to suit this engine on toyota's line up ( Ex. Light weight RWD cars like AE86 )
