sooo....
has anyone ever dropped a custom built
motor in a matrix? i've read all about custom
motor builds for race cars with toyota engines
just different manifolds with blocks etc..etc...
or what are some really good, "reliable" turbo
setups for the 1zz,
i have an 04 black sand pearl Xr
debadged, blacked out toyota badges
toyota axle back exhaust
toyota STB

Custom built motor as in an engine other than a 1ZZ or a 2ZZ?

I don't see why anyone would. It's not exactly the best setup for a 'race car'.

this is true, i was just reading about the c2power turbo kit
and 280+ hp sounds like a crap load for our little matrix's
so yeah i'm probably gonna go with that setup, start getting
all the internals first, get it built, then put turbo on.
