It's not that bad considering just a donor engine would cost $2000 plus. The guy's from Puerto Rico have great reliable success all N/A no turbo and Dyno charts. Quite impressive and a hell of a lot less work

Don't get me wrong, I'm not putting down your swap because I think it's an awesome swap you guy's did. ;) You should be able and get 20-40 more hp if done right. I was and still am considering a 2ZZ-GE swap which is not hard to do mechanically. The wiring is another story however, not plug and play. I'm undecided whether to do more on my go-kart (Yaris) or start my Audi 2.7TT swap.

All of that sounds great, and is cool! But that is fine for those NOT looking for a legit, smog legal 50 state swap option. The 2zr has been battle tested in the Lotus for years, and you START with 128-136hp/126ftlbs depending on header choice!
