Their reply,

Dear Ken,

We are very interested in making products for the new Celica's! Tell me
what you would like to see produced? I haven't had a chance to get me hands
onone for prototyping, but maybe you could help me out and in turn, help all
new Celica owners out! Please contact me (909) 592 - 4311 or e-mail
[email protected] anytime. I am more than willing to help bring this
great car to new levels. Thanks for your interest and hope to hear from you
soon.

Regards,
Vince Tiaga

We got a lead, I'm going to ask if they can produce some sleeves for us. It would be nice to have sleeves that can be bored out a bit. If anyone has a block they can spare for a prototype, hit them up. I'll be back wtih more information.

Yep, sleeves to accomodated larger bore sizes. Brian Nutter (Wiseco) as well as I am are interested in what kind of bores our Celica's can take. Hes willing to make custom pistons just to fit these bores too.

The bore pitch (distance between cylinder centerlines) for the ZZ engine family is 87.5mm. So the bore on a ZZ engine has to be smaller than 87.5mm (I don't know how close to a 87.5mm bore you can safely go).

I did read Rado's Celica will use a 83.5mm bore (up from 82mm stock).

As I think my engine will always be normally aspirated, I'd like to know how much boring and stroking could be performed on the ZZ engine family, too.
