im thinking you should have gone with a 2zz, unless for some reason you prefer the 1zz. there are many 2zz's running stock internals boosting 300+whp. as far as boosting a high comp engine, all you need is a great tune. and i say that because im sure you spent alot of money building up that 1zz. 1zz's stock can only hold up 200whp. monkeywrenchracing.com has a 2zz stock internals pushing 500whp. 300whp with 11.1 comp ratio sounds sweet to me but im going all motor with my 2zz (on my corolla).

^^^ VERY true.
I also looked into this when I was playing with the idea of buying another 1st gen. A 2ZZ with the 6-speed at a local salvage yard would have cost me MORE than the xB itself!

yea... crap I didnt even think about the trans! gonna need that! I think the cheapest used motor I saw was $5k!!! just the motor, U need ecu, harness, axles, and trans also. Then get axles made I guess using part of the existing. Then custom motor mounts... then probably find shift linkages that work... radiator maybe? Im guessing $15k

and that's a stock 2zz. Personally i'd rather spend $3k sleeving the 1.5, pistons and rods, then get a turbo kit (2k-3k) tuned for 15psi. Bam, run circles around the 2zz swap and have $6k to wave in his face.

I think just fine tuning our 1.5L will obviously be cheaper and more reliable than any swap. Correct me if I'm wrong I have heard a lot of people attempting these crazy swaps but I haven't heard of any real successful ones. blown_xa I think you're doing good with the 1.5L I was wondering what kinda of numbers you are putting out. I had thought about doing a swap at one time but I don't have that kind of money so I am strongly for tuning my 1.5L there are plenty of parts out there to beef it up some.
No offense to anyone i give props for trying to do a swap but I don't see why put that much money and time into it?
