Socks Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I don't think people have beef with Honda engines there great. I think peoples beef is Honda and Toyota is competition. and putting a Honda engine in a Toyota is like admitting defeat. Or, turning up at a car cruise in a Volvo estate and caravan.... You just don't do it Imo, 2ZZ-GE would have been the conversion to do. Some of them produce big power boosted and you keep it within the Toyota family Quote Link to post Share on other sites
