Actually just stash away a little more money for a few months and buy an EVO, STI or BMW 135i, don't waste your money on a glorified cavilear with a turbo. Its still FWD after all, if you're going to upgrade to it right! Just my .02

yeah. my last car was a tC and i liked it a lot. it was cheap, cool and had decent power. these cars love boost, trust me... haha, i've raced boosted ones. the only problem with the trd supercharger is that its setup for like 7psi in order to keep the warranty. they can make a bit more power though.
lotus elise's run low 13's stock and an mr2 spyder with a 2zz swap does high 13's and handles just as well, if not better than an s2k. if toyota would have just used that motor in the first place, they would have killed.
first off, it's a great motor. second off, it wasn't engineered by toyota. it's a yamaha motor. if anything, lotus having chosen the 2zz must mean it's a great motor.
pontiac also sourced the same yamaha motor for their pontiac vibe GT.
It IS a good engine. I believe it even comes with forged rods.
Question (pardon thread drift): Can I get the tuning that the Elise has, for my G-friend's XRS? Or even the 180 HP Vibe? That would ratchet her performance up a bit from the 165HP.
you know what man... i don't think its a tune or a different ecu. i do know that the corolla xrs is a little bit detuned from the gt-s and matrix xrs motor. my mom drives a corolla xrs actually. i think the lotus has a better intake manifold that yeilds the extra 10 ponies. there's a guy in town with a celica running like low 12's and i guess there are a couple elise bolt ons. the manifold being one. i've seen bolt on gt-s run low 14's.
does your girl have a matrix or a corolla? i like all three of these cars, btw. i've always thought about getting a gt-s.
2005 Corolla XRS. I was reading about the Lotus. They do tune it (change ECU). What I don't know if tuning options are available to alter the 2ZZ-GE. It'd be nice to get the cam to switch over before 6200rmp. I'm sure cold air or short ram wouldn't hurt either.
