Anyone knows them?

I've found a very interesting line on their webpages

http://www.toysport.com/webpages/WebUpdates/Catalog/Toyotaet/ENGINE20LIST20MARCH202002.htm

The line i'm talking about:

(in the "PREPARED ENGINES - 0 MILES - WITH CORE EXCHANGE" category)

1ZZFE 1800 TURBO FORGED PISTONS     $2,500.00

Need I say more?  s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:

Yeah. Good place, but pretty expensive.

Also, I hope you noticed this line: "WITH CORE EXCHANGE"

Means you should ship your 1ZZ to them first and then pay the $2500 for the engine. After you count in shipping both ways and probable taxes, I think you're better off just buying a set of forged pistons to your current engine  s;) ;) s;)

Yes, I notices the "core exchange" line!

But this means that a turbo set up with forged pistons is not that expensive... Or I am totally wrong?

I was just wondering if they are related to Toyota (about any kind of warranty)...

It doesn't.

It's just an engine prepared for turbo. Probably including forged pistons and possibly some rods and other bits. They would know best, but I'm sure it doesn't include turbo, manifold, IC, any piping or any fuel/controls...


(that's the case with their turbo prepared 4A-GE's anyway, I can't see why 1ZZ would be any different)
