I thought the 2ZZ_GE engine was a great engine platform... just my opinion.,

That is the last gen Celica S engine, right?

Yup. SCC magazine once referred to it as being not unlike a hyena on crack :icon17:


Fun, peaky, high strung motor. Fragile ring lands over 250 whp, but for the time, a pretty high tech engine with decent potential, and max revs approaching 9K on the stock valvetrain (thanks to Yamaha).

That said, the K20 can be tuned and built to make more power more easily, but the 2ZZ is still a hell of a fun little engine.

Dropping one of those in a last gen MR2 makes for one fun little car.

Current Internet price on a 2010 Elise is $53k. Must start saving!

I don't think thats too bad of a price considering the performance specs that I found for it. I would like to know though if you would be able to put the Elan body kit on it as it kinda looks meaner to me.

I think the Elan can be had for only about 10k more, although the list price is much more than that.

Oops! I was looking at the price of the Evora (also very nice looking!).
