you do realize the 2zz-ge 1.8 im my car puts out 107bhp/L in the JDM off the lot
im putting down about 101whp/L right now and i still get around 35 mpg if i just cruise back n fourth to work, but valve lift wont be allowed soon in many parts of the world because of emmisions sad day

but without lift the ft-86 does pretty good performance wise and mpg, so hats off to subaru and toyota

yes strapped to rollers,
when i said 35hp i mean crank hp from mods im pushing(guesstamated ricer math) 215 to the crank from the stock 181 my car came with
stock dyno my car came in at a healthy 162 whp (some have gotten more or less) and 185whp after my mods and a conservative tune(to retain my mpgs)
other numbers are just from reading celica forums
cant find DD intake manifold dyno charts but it yields some retardedly good gains by itself and a tune
