MK3 1.8 vvti upgrades

[vinp182]

does the 2zzge drop straight in or do you have to modify anything? and do you use the 1zz ancillaries?

If you check in the mk3 section on the forum dude there's loads of info on the 2zz install including a 'how to' that I wrote up

I doubt you'll get 200hp out of a 2zz without Forced induction. Depending on manifold and how good the engine is they usually have around 165-185hp ish and they'll already have exhaust and filter

200bhp at the flywheel would be achievable in NA form. Not cheap though. 200whp however...

Same old story tho that the cost out weighs the gains

Absolutely. Aftermarket support just isn't there like it is for NA Honda tuning for example.

Unfortunately although the 1zz and 2zz are nowhere near as capable as the Honda lumps anyway

All this being said both 2zz's that I've built have been an absolute hoot to drive in pretty much standard form

Also true.

I'm surprised the Lotus boys aren't doing more with the 2ZZ NA though... Perhaps they all go the supercharger route as the Exige S exists.

My Corrola T-sport Compressor (2zz charged) would be awesome in a Roadster.
