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 7th gen doesn't have much torque no, but watching a couple video's from Top Gear about the Lotus with a 2zz in it are really quite impressive to me.
You have got to admit though, even though it doesn't have much torque below 2000 rpm's, that lift at 6200 is MIGHTY fun  .richee3, I am not sure what you meant by you don't get full potential from a 2zz as a manual? -------------------- Brand new 6gc owner! (sort of 2011)
