Let me clarify that a little.. I'd Ebay them and put the money into the "2ZZ-GE engine swap fund".

From everything I've learnt about this engine in the past 2+ years (my last car was a 1NZ-FE as well), it takes mega bucks to make minimal gains.

Our resident sticker guy and all-round good fella eTiMaGo tells me we can get 2ZZ-GE's retrofitted into our Yarii by TRD Thailand for ~100K Baht (USD $2850). Given that the 2ZZ-GE makes 180HP stock, by the time it's in a Yaris with a custom mandrel bent exhaust and intake we should be looking at 200+HP.

There's nothing you can do to a 1NZ-FE for that money that would get remotely close, plus you've got the headroom for forced induction and other mods (if your mother dropped you on your head as a baby, and 200HP in a tiny FWD egg isn't enough)

Anyways, you can see where my thoughts are at

If I could get 4WD and a DSG box to go with a 2ZZ-GE for this thing, I'd order it all tomorrow - along with some blowage, 'cause that'd be a fuckin fun car.
