I guess the numbers are alright. It only has a tap more hp, but a lot more torque.

The most significant part of that article to me, is that they made their own turbo.

Yes, they are correct.

Too bad they stuck it into luxury mom's grocery getter.

Whats in the lotus exsige? a supercharged celica motor with better heads?

Man - those numbers are EXACTLY what would've made this car a smashing hit.

I think the latest one got a supercharged Camry engine lol.

"Alright", not "all right"
Alright - ok

...but I think alright is still just a slang. It's funny because they added swagger and a bunch of other stupid "you're just a hater" society words to the dictionary.

"...The market for vehicles that combine a turbocharger with a small-displacement engine is increasing," says Izumi Watanabe of Toyota's Engine Product Design Div..."

oh really now? Did that memo to them get lost in the mail 10 years ago?



oh, and how long before the newbs start posting up about "How easy is it to swap engines?" threads?

I didn't bother to read the article or thread, but how hard would it be to swap one of these into my twin?

Enough $$ to say "Why didn't you just bolt on a turbo?" or "Why didn't you just swap a FA20DIT?"

cause I likes to be original just like everybody else. /threadjack

not long.... not long at all
