I am in a toss up between the 1zz and the 2zz. The 1 has a better low end however when you look at it that motor only offers 140hp. I have a line to pick up a Vibe with under 30k miles on it for around 3200. After the work I would think that I might be sitting around 5k in cost. Seeing as how that is about the same as what I would spend to go turbo or S/C for a good setup to me it is a no brainer as the 2zz has the base as it has already been mentioned of 180hp. That would allow me to sit in a sweet spot where I can get a lot more out of the car with even the 180, but also have the option down the road if I get a wild hair up my ass to go with modding the 2zz. Right now is the time of the year anyway to try to get a donor car because they are relatively cheaper during the winter because the auctions have a tough time dumping vehicles.

2ZZ-GE, all the way, the head is much more performance oriented than the lowly 1ZZ-FE, which, by my sources actually only makes 110 hp, not 140. In any case, for spirited driving please for the love of god, replace the crappy stock oil pan with the Moroso unit
