I dont think it is mis-information, most of the folks on here dont have the resources to "do it right" and most value their warranty. Im gonna just get an older mustang and build that up.
Why has nobody done a 1ZZ or 2ZZ engine swap? They are on ebay pretty reasonably priced, and it has been done in a echo (which has the same drivetrain as a box) If you want more power and potential, and have the money, wouldn't it make sense to drop in a motor that can take more abuse?
I get what you are saying, but to a degree thats what im talking about. How much abuse do you think our tinny 1nz can take? Do you know, please inform me otherwise im wasting my time and money. Have you personally blown a 1nz, and what was the exact mods you had? Otherwise, you really don't have a place to say such things when you haven't attempted yourself to push our motors. Like i said earlier, you don't need a power house motor to make our cars fast. People are too caught up in numbers vs. reality. I'm not saying you or anyone else falls in that cat., however it appears most here and other forums do. All i can say is, think outside placement and big numbers. Why do you think alot of honda owners are successful with 200-250whp in 90's hatches, coupes, and even sedans with weight reduction. Its not because thats alot of power, its because thats all they need to keep up with the ls1's, 2s, 2jz's, so on so forth.
Ever watch videos of 230-250whp hatches keep up with ferraris, and z8's? Ever watch the videos on youtube of the smart car that can out run the 360's? Theres a reason why cars like ours can keep up with the "big boys".
Why has nobody done a swap? Probably the same reason most don't pour the money into the 1nz. "Pointless"
