2700Lbs for a 1.6 liter is excessive, but not too out there. The motor was meant for AE92/AE101 Corollas which weigh in at a whopping 2300-2400lbs and are still slow stock. the earlier Largeport GZE in the MR2's fairs a bit better in a much lighter chassis, even only making 145hp. What motor do you have now? 5S?Originally Posted by HypnoToad
It would be 163hp and about ~135whp...so for all that money you're only gaining 30hp....the Tq would be the only thing i can see that you would benefit from...the GZE is a tq monster for how small it is, but a 1.2 liter positive displacement Supercharger will do that lol. I cant really judge you for wanting the motor and they are much easier to find in Auto and always being in boost tend not to lack the spunk the manuals have. The only thing about the auto tranny is that it isnt built to handle much power. So with the turbo swap you have planned you will be very limited on power vs. reliability. I say if you really wanna do it, then go for it. I always respect ppl for trying different things. Hell i drive a 1.3 turbo mini car lolol
