It's going into my Mitsubishi Mirage, I have also been tossing around the idea of a 4g63 swap into the xB as the stock Scion motors are worthless to boost and I have experience swaping other unusual cars. For those who don't know the 4g63 is a turbo 4cyl. 2litre that is used in the evo, eclipse, talon, laser ect. The motor I have at home is the JDM version rated at around 215hp 215tq stock and the parts will be supporting 400 to the wheels comfortably. I'll post more pics here in a few weeks when I get the engine on the stand built and completed.
I'm doing this because of criticism towards my stupid and useless ricey things that I have done to my xB, time for something new and extreme.

It is just my opinion, I'll keep it simple.. I don't like the idea of boosting aluminum open deck blocks, although the 2AZ does have cast sleeves it will never be reliable in the long term as compared to closed deck cast iron blocks when boosted comparatively especially with high hp goals in mind.
