Anyone seen or heard anything about the availability of Lotus Elise parts? I want to get my hands on the ECU programming and head they are using to get more tq and hp out of our 2zz. Monkey Wrench Racing has some parts available, but no ECU or cylinder heads: http://monkeywrenchracing.com/lotus_elise.htmlhttp://www.lotuscars.co.uk/template.cfm?...the_lotus_elise [ lotuscars.co.uk] The Celica engine seems to be winding up in allot cars lately, Matrix, Corolla, and now the Lotus Elise, interesting that in each of these case they retune the engine somehow better low end torque. At 1700 lbs and 190hp with a 0 - 60 time of 5.1 seconds, just imagine hitting lift in this thing!

Corolla..? Perhaps a new model that's comming out. I know the GT engine can be found in some Camry's, and the Matrix XR-S will have the 2zz-ge engine, same with the Lotus Elise, but it sounds like they may have the Euro and Asian set-up because in some parts of Europe (well maybe all) and Asia their GTS has 190hp.

they did not change the head it was a Intake manifold change.
possibly cams may have been changed that i do not now but mostly new Intake and ecu change.

the celica GTS engine is no where...2zz...

the GT motor is in celica, matrix, and corolla but less power in corolla...and the scion's don't have the celica motors...the 2zz isn't that popular

2004 Toyota Corolla XRS The special edition Toyota, tagged with the XRS moniker, features a slightly detuned 170-hp version of the brand's normally 180-hp 2ZZ dual overhead cam Celica GTS and Matrix XRS engine, a 1.8-L VVTL-i 4-cylinder featuring 127 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. http://www.auto123.com/en/info/news/roadtest,view,Toyota.spy?artid=18447 http://forums.beyond.ca/showthread/t-27945.html

This site has a great write up on the 2zz engine as we know it, and how Lotus got more torque and hp from it: "Lotus Tuning Toyota's 2ZZ-GE versions found in the U.S. make ten fewer horsepower at 180 hp than the same engine in the rest of the world which has 190 hp. However Lotus has retuned the 2ZZ-GE for use in Elise, smoothing out the torque dip at the 6000 rpm cam changeover point and strengthening the torque in the other rpm ranges. In addition to the improved torque Lotus brought the peak horsepower back up to 190 in their U.S. version of the engine. These adjustments were largely accomplished by reprogramming the Engine Control Unit (ECU or engine computer). Toyota has apparently expressed interest in the changes Lotus made to broaden and even the torque and increase the power. Changes to the Lotus version of the engine are not purely electronic, however, as a new Intake and exhaust are also fitted. The exhaust is so fully optimized that altering it reportedly results in a significant power loss. Aftermarket tuners and parts buyers beware!" http://www.sandsmuseum.com/cars/elise/thecar/engine/toyota.html
