hey guys I was wondering what kind of performance levels you've been able to pull out of the MKI's engine... cause I was planning on swapping it into my celica, and I wanted to know if it was worth it...
Or how easy it was, whta my options are... etc.

Thanx in advance.

Put a 2ZZ-GE in there! mmm lift

But, I'm not sure if the 4age/4agze is worth the swap. That's what, 110hp/140hp?

the USDM is 145 @ crank. and soooo much better @ putting the power down than your honduh power

. the 4A came as a JDM option depending on the year of your celica. the 2ZZ is great, true, but depending also on the type of car you are trying to build, the 4AGZ-E would be the better swap. it's doubtful you'll ever see 200 rwhp from your stock GZE, but it seems that 180's is possible with lots o mods. a 4AGT-E is possible, and most are beginning to see the 200 mark with careful planning/preparation/tuning.
