    Hmmmm. What would that make, maybe 200bhp max?

    For the effort required to fit it, I imagine most people would want a turbo. A 4A-GZE swap with a big pulley would give you similar power with a mich simpler swap IMO.

    Still, nice to see someone doing some 'proper' work on an NA engine

    Yes i agree Ben. just thought i would 'put it out there'

    I guess it still has some appeal as the 4A-GZE lumps must be pretty hard to get hold of now. The 2.0 turbo also seems to require a fair amount of work with intercoolers, cutting bodywork etc so a NA 2.0 is a pretty simple swap in comparison.

    Cheers

    If you only going 200bhp you might as well put the celica 190 engine in and keep the weight down and have a modern engine.
