lotus engine Options

[celiman5]

hey i was just curious but would a lotus engine be able to fit and run in our celicas since the engine is toyota based. i know it would be super expensive, but i was just wondering when i was reading a magazine with a lotus in there that, would it be possible.

The 2ZZ is an extremely peaky engine, it has NO bottem end because it was built by Yamaha. The ZZ engines are pretty much low-revving, 4-cyl, motorcycle engines

the zz engine is all toyota, the G heads are the yamaha part. the 2zzge has a powerband similar to a 1zzfe below 5000 rpm. most G headed engines are higher revving engines, because yes the G heads do have SOME similar characteristics to motorcycle engines, but they also have alot thats NOT in common.

And even though the 2zz revs ok for a CAR engine, it dosen't rev nearly high enough to make a decent powerband with the way its heads were desighned.

Think about it like this, Car engines rev to 6-7,000-ish on average, while most performance motorcycle engines rev to +11,000, and then the fact that the 2zz was supposed to be a performance engine comes into play. If the desighner desighns a head for a 11,000 rpm engine and is then asked to make a head for toyota, chances are it's going to be very characteristic of the motorcycle head...

here's a 2zz dyno
