Title says it all - - just wondering what's different since the CE, LE and S all have the same engines.

About 40hp.

hehe.. well the Corolla CE comes with a 1ZZFE 1.8L motor with about 130hp, the XRS comes with a 2ZZGE 1.8L motor with about 170hp.. the XRS uses a different motor than the other Corollas.

so what components are different between the two??? just wondering how Toyota boosted the hp - is it just with more revs (computer) or part improvements???

CE, LE, S - 1ZZ-FE 1.8L VVTi
XRS (Celica GTS) - 2ZZ-GE 1.8L VVTi-L
Totally different in head and valve chain. 2ZZ-GE got extra valve lift control at high RPM. Also the ability to rev to 9000.

Like I said.. they're basically 2 different motors.
