Thats actually a 2.4liter sc motor so no thats not the 4agze replacement, but the 2ZZGE 1.8liter with a supercharge from the Tsport corolla is the nearest I can think of replacement for the 4agze.

this one

less parts... less malfunctions.. less surprises..
but if you are a car nut who simply has to get his hands dirty, all bets are off.

Just something to keep in mind. If you decide to turbocharge a car that was originally designed to be naturally aspirated, don't think about selling it because it won't be worth much in the used car market. People tend to think if the engine was modded, then it was probably abused. If you can find buyers who think otherwise, then good for you.

Of course, most enthusiasts tend to keep their cars even if the engine cracks or springs a leak. They love their cars to death.

Hmm, between a 2.5l turbo or na V6, I'd go for the turbo. Now, if we're talking naturally aspirated V8s... that's another story. heheh

Definitely turbocharged esp. if you go to high altitudes often. Turbo engines are also more efficient, providing more power without using too much displacement. It also helps in reducing emissions and getting better fuel mileage (Subaru Forester 2.5XT is a good example).

your putting too much credit on the Jazz its only rated 81KW * 6000rpm thats 110hp
