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 2ZZ haters have no freaking clue what you are talking about. the 2ZZ is a fantastic engine and there is no difference in the 2 between the lotus and the GT-S celica. the 2ZZ is so much more capable of power. the head design is the most advanced head in any toyota engine. and yes i know Yamaha designed most of it. sure the 2ZZ lack some low end torque but you also have 8000 PRMs to play with.

the configuration of the 2ZZ pretty much rules it out for a 6gc swap since the exhaust and intake are on the opposite sides.

exige weight 600 pounds less than the GT-S, its also rear wheel drive with a full lsd rear axle. don't forget they offered a 2zz-gze in the exige which bumps up the torque a hell of alot. you cannot compare a supercar's track design to a road car like the GT-S. the limiter on the Exige is also set alot higher than the celica, as well as a recurved powerband throughout the rpm range.
