2zz swap? Options

[HaysoosKreesto]

I was curious if a 2zz swap would be possible. As you may know I don't own a 6gc because I have no money , but I have always loved the 2zz (despite 7gc ... you know). It does great work in the Lotus Exige and I really admire the Lotus team for giving this great engine a new life.

It would be a devestating swap what with all the custom fitings and pipings, not to mention electrical work and mounting. Would it even be worth it to have VVTL-i in a 6gc? I know a 3sgte would be a far better use of money, I know that it is only succesful in the Lotus because of its superior internals and its incredibly light weight, blah blah blah. But it would be damn unique no?

edit: I got to learn to search these things before I ask... I have my answer already. My bad.

^ There is some guy on YouTube who was crazy enough to supercharge and Turbo his 2zz Lotus. You are very correct Mstoochn.

And Smaay I know that a 2zz swap is only a pipe dream. I tried to delete this post, but I found out that I couldn't so this topic just became an open forum about the 2zz.

Lol@,

twin charging is not uncommon anymore, there is a member on this forum with a twn charged 2zz on a 7th gen GT (his name is..... er?)

a much more appropraite way of making power by any means it a forged boosted engine or wrc 3s swap.
for you emissions whores, keep your N/A and waste as much money on mods as you can so you have the mental mind set your car is a hell of alot quicker. a much more effective way would be to rip out your interior and trunk
end of discussion.

You can't supercharge a 2zz in the GT-S, and I don't see why anyone would spend the money for the swap into a GT.

I think you can super and Turbo a 1zz, but I personally enjoy a Turbo'd 2zz better .

a redtop beams is a far better engine than the 2zz, in a car of the same weight the beams will leave the 2zz behind, also an aftermarket ecu will give you 220bhp at the fly from a beams, plus an 8000rpm rev limit, good luck to any 2zz trying to match that without cams etc call me biast but i've owned both, the weight difference isnt a problem either as long as you remember to put the right size tyres on your car.
