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.

thats VERY true, the auto gearing is poorly matched to the engine to keep it in lift between gear changes BUT the auto stands upto more power and lasts longer than the stock 6spd does. also, can't over rev and blow things up with the auto.
the Achilles heal of the 2zz is the sintered steel oil pump, it can shatter if the engine is over revved. -------------------- |
