nice. That thing would be pretty quick. A buddy/ex coustomer of mine was building. an AE with a 2JZ engine in it. He was building it for street and drag use. His dad owns one of the biggest Toyota dealerships in Tornonto (Ken Shawe Lexus/Toyota). His car is nuts. It ran 11second 1/4 with no tuning and breaking 2 of the links in his 4link setup in the back.

Why would you put an F20 in a Corolla? Does it really do well? I've heard those things don't have the best bottem end, and it seems like you could build other motor choices easier than doing a hybrid.

Don't believe gospel till you try it.

You give low-end torque FAR too much credit. It's probably around 1800-2000 pounds in race trim... a 240hp engine regardless of torque is gonna move that little chassis. Besides... these are race cars... who races with high-rev engines below 4000 rpm? Techno Toy Tuning's AE86 has been featured in magazines and stuff before... and their car, their actual car... not their sponsor cars... is a beast.

Oh yeah, the hp only at high rpms is great. I understand that. I was talking about the block/crank/pistons of the F20. I have yet to build one though. And you're right, it has been pretty much gossip. I kind of figured that's what you meant to type, if not, my bad.
