back to the subject.
go with the 2zz swap if its in your budget. redline at 8k and 200hp with some bolt ons should be one hell of a car! si killer for sure

As Resolve has said extreme usually (99% of the time) means more than a little extra HP. I guess I'm just out of touch with this subcompact performance thing. Spending 6K on an xD performance wise is something I cannot fathom.

No one really knows how much these engines can handle yet since it hasn't been truly tested or at least not posted if it has (that i have seen). And by testing I mean in a shop with the means to truly test and rebuild if necessary not by some one who put one on and hit the street until it blew up. Eventually we will know what it can handle.

Exactly these engines are still fairly new in the states and the after market has been slow to catch on. I would recommend holding off for say another year or so to see what some of the performance brands come up with. I mean DC Sports hasn't even released a header for our cars yet. Their has been a rumor going around too that Toyota is going to release a TRD supercharger for the 1.8's, once that happens I'm sure the after-market will build an improved version at reduced cost.
