welcome. as others have already pointed out, matrixowners will have a lot more info on turbo'ing the 2zz engine than here. i've seen a few XRS's but so far, no Vibe GT's with proven numbers. there was a guy here who said he had, but had nothing to show us....

There's a guy on MO.com right now that has a 2zz manifold that he didn't sell to me. His SN is LaserMcKnight. I don't know if he still has it or not but i know i bought the rest of his kit off of him

Don't know the lbs. but they are approx. 330-340cc. Not enough for a Turbo on a 2ZZ.

http://monkeywrenchracing.com has a bunch of upgraded parts that you'll probably need. such as the injectors you asked aboutjust curious, r u planning on upgrading your internals too?

right now i dont have money for internals yet. i dont plan on pushing over 7 or 8 lbs of boost... i figure that should be plenty to get the extra kick i need. i heard something about having to re-calibrate the valves on the 2zz every 60,000 miles, any one know any more about that.
