I was curious if a 2zz swap would be possible. As you may know I don't own a 6gc because I have no money
 , but I have always loved the 2zz (despite 7gc ... you know). It does great work in the Lotus Exige and I really admire the Lotus team for giving this great engine a new life.It would be a devestating swap what with all the custom fitings and pipings, not to mention electrical work and mounting. Would it even be worth it to have VVTL-i in a 6gc? I know a 3sgte would be a far better use of money, I know that it is only succesful in the Lotus because of its superior internals and its incredibly light weight, blah blah blah. But it would be damn unique no? edit: I got to learn to search these things before I ask... I have my answer already. My bad.

The 2ZZ is only successful in the Lotus due to very low weight and the MR configuration. Its power-to-weight ratio is much higher than a 7th gen GT-S.
Your options for VVT technology in 6th gens are: 4AGE 20V (AE101 or AE111) swapped into a ST Or 3SGE BEAMS redtop swapped into a GT. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money
