2zz swap? Options

[HaysoosKreesto]

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.

You're a good man for searching and answering your own question.

Personally, I wouldn't want a 2ZZ swapped 6th gen. One of my friends has a GT-S and I just put a CAI in it today. Granted, his is a manual, so I'm not getting the full potential of the 2ZZ, but it just feels so weak. It doesn't have any torque. I know his car is faster than my GT, but my car just feels more powerful.
