Ever seen a 1200-1400hp 2zz-GE? I've long gone giving care about what cars come with from the factory. If I started with 160hp or 210, it ain't going to matter when I'm pushing 400whp and reving to 8k rpms on this FE.


PS....funny thing now that you mention that also. Going back to Gushi's drift tC. They started the FD series in the tC with a BEAMS motor. That motor gave them so many problems with running on boost and 400ish whp, that they could never make a sustainable season out of it. What did they do....talked to Rado, and got advised to put the FE back in it...lol. Now it makes 600+whp on that 2az-FE. So, as you can see what I'm getting at here...it might be branded as an FE, but trust me...she don't act like she wasn't meant to be kicking ass, because she does.
What's the point in 1400 WHP if you can't keep the wheels on the ground? Also, seems to me that is a little high of a number to be asking from a 1.8 litre, regardless of G or F (but I could be wrong).

Still, if you ask me I'd sayf 750 WHP is good enough to ask for out of the 2ZZ-GE!!
