I had to look up what a 2ZZGE & GT2871R were.  Shows you my brain stopped in about 1994.

It seems a promising bit of kit.  We can't hang onto 2TG's/18RG's/4AGE's for ever although clearly I am. But perhaps I'm older than you.

10 years from now everyone will be talking ZZ's I expect.

I actually don’t think the 2ZZ will really be a thing in 10 years — there just aren’t that many of them around 100% enthusiasts choice. I went with a 2ZZ because the 4A-GE is an early ’80s design, and the 3S-GE is basically the same story: iteratively modernised over the years, but the underlying block and rotating assembly are still ’80s tech.

What I do think could become a popular option is the hybrid Camry 4-cyl. If you check out Frankenstein Motorsports on YouTube, he’s shown that the 2AR-FXE (2.4L) comes with stupidly high factory compression and can make around 240 hp just by running an inlet cam in the exhaust position and using a custom cam timing setup. Bonus is it still shares the same bellhousing pattern as a 3S-GE, which makes it really appealing, and absolutely mass produced.

finally picked up the evo 8 intercooler, interestingly one elbow is silver soldered on the other is welded, weird choice but ill just knock them off and rotate them to fit the ke

Nice score on the Evo intercooler, should be a solid fit once you rotate those elbows around!
