I'm not going to argue semantics but even if you did build your own T Sport you're still gaining close to 200 lbs and if I'm going to go through the hassle of a motor swap which I'm forced to gain weight Id rather do it for more than a 22 hp bump is all I'm saying.

And yes I don't like the look of the XD either.

how are you gaining 200lbs? the engine weighs about 40lbs more than a 1nzfe

you gain as much weight as you do adding a blitz supercharger kit...i weighed mine when i had it.

intake/header/exhaust ive been seeing about 145whp/140wtq on corolla's...thats on 87 octane and on an oem ecu

i ran 135whp/130wtq with i/h/e and 91 octance on my yaris...

im not saying that an engine swap would be easy...it won't be. but oem reliable power is a plus in my books

I was using the T sport as reference which weighs about 180lbs more than the standard car.

What corollas are you seeing that make 145 hp on 87 octane? I don't think I've seen a single corolla not powered by a 2zz make anywhere near that much power N/A but excluding that its still only 20 hp more and your adding weight in the worse possible place in front of the axle. I'm not saying a superchargers better but its substantially cheaper. Hell my competitor with a 1zz corolla didn't even break 125 and he built it to the limit of the rules.

If you take into account the cost of getting the ECU, Transmission, Engine, Axles, and accessories pus the time it takes to swap it it just doesn't feel like its worth it for such small gains.

If your dead set on swapping a motor getting the 2zz swapped would be a much better choice as the gains make sense plus the motor is far less limited than the 1zr and 1zz.
