well if your against a swap the only way to make power out of a 1zz is stroking it and installing larger cams. my buddies MKIII MR2 runs the MWR 2.0 kit. AEM intake, MWR valves, MWR springs, port and polished throttle body and head, PPE header and test pipe (no cat), Apexi N1 cat back, Power FC and put down 136whp/132ftlbs at 8100 rpms. thats 160ish to the crank which is decent for the 1zz, pretty torqy actually. the responce of the motor is the fun part and the spider only weighing 2100+ lbs makes it a screamer. but alas the 2zz is lighter and makes more power stock.hell my silvertop 20v makes the same power he is puting down stock (minus the tq lol). he is in the process of installing some crower 280/280 cams now that should put him in the 155-160 whp range...that should take advantage of the head work, stronger valves, and larger diameter header...i wouldnt be suprised if he didnt make more reving the 1zz out to maybe 8500-8700....if i were you i woulnt waste your money running NA on a 1zz...buy the stage 1-2 MWR turbo kit for the 1zz and make some real power
