@TheCorollaXRS How fast is the 823 whp version? If it has a higher top speed, I wonder how stable it is at that speed.
I knew a guy who fitted a Focus with the engine from a Subaru Impreza. He upgraded the brakes and suspension to cope, but when he took it on a track day the tyres burst, the gearbox broke and it kept overheating. So I'd always be nervous about driving a car that hadn't been tuned by professionals.

Lifespan of the engine will surely go down, but atleast if you have 400 hp you know that you are still far from the limit. I think they are still trying to get more than 823whp, they are still very curious where that limit is. So stay tuned.
Also, take a look at this on youtube "Lotus Exige Ronin Compound Charger" and check all the videos of the poster 'roninexige' . This Lotus (2zz-ge) has supercharger and turbo at the same time.

@TheCorollaXRS I looked it up - it was incredible. THe only worry I'd have is that essentially you have to trade power for life. So I wonder what would happen if you maxed that car - could the chassis take all that power? And could the drive shaft and other components deal with it.
This 400 horsepower one seems OK though.

Go to google.com then type "2ZZ-GE Power Record - 823whp" then it should get you to a link of where a 1.8L is making 823whp ... that's more or less 1000hp at the crank. Yes, from a 1.8L 2zz-ge .. also known as a Corolla engine.

@NobleM15fan the ff400 is a stroked 2zz
-
@kukinney My mistake. I didn't think you could get 400 HP from a 1.8 (or this might be one of the older 2.2 ones) without serious turbo lag.
-
@NobleM15fan its a four cylinder. you cant twin turbo it. and plus the title says turbo not supercharged.
-
Wow.. doesnt take much power to get that thing moving
-
@b1iuzw39 haha probably about the same... lightweight has its flaws... traction can be a bitch even for a RWD car
-
That's quick! Did you give it twin turbos, or a supercharger?
@MerlinofChaos
tweeking gear ratios, or changing a transmission is easy? i don't know what reality you're living in, but that is a pretty ridiculous thing to say. maybe in video games thats simple to do, but in the real world that involves a lot of custom made parts and fabrication.

cool seeing a lotus at the dragstrip... but everybody knows that it really shines on the circuit.
