Dude! You set me up with Watkins! Without you I would have had a much harder time finding a good company to get the motor from point A to point B!
... that was you, right?

My New Motor (and a lot more)
My New Motor *Updated With Pics!*
So, as many of you may know, my 1zz has been burning a lot of oil for the past half a year. Because of this, I have decided to replace it. This is my daily driver, and my only car... because of this the stock motor has racked up about 107k miles. Sooo... it's time for a change. In the intrest of keep this simple, I have decided to stick with the 1zz, so feel free to keep all the "should have gone with a 2zz" comments to yourself; it ain't gonna happen. :gap:
So, I got myself a used '03 1zz from a nc.org member. It has 60k on, 80% of the miles on the car were highway, and the motor had regular oil changes with mobile 1, all in all I'm pretty confident in this motors reliability. The work will be done this friday at East Coast Speed Factory, a shop with a successfull history of 1zz work.
All installed:

ECSF installed a "TRD" (not really TRD) Oil Catch Canister, slightly used MAFS, slightly used K&N Filter, Oil Pressure Sensor Remote locate line and fittings, HotShot Header, Toyota Racing Development Carbon Fiber Engine Cover, Denso Iridium Spark Plugs, Gripforce Stage 1 Clutch Kit, and MWRs Lightweight Chromoly Flywheel, Toga Performance High-Volume Oil Pump, AEM Lightweight Alternator Pulley, Catco High Flow Catalytic Converter, and a slightly used pre-cat o2 sensor.
Needless to say: I can't wait.
I'll do my best to document the process, and you can expect a good amount of pics to be posted this weekend.
Lastly, I really want to thank the many nc.org members who helped me with this project, both with questions answered and advice given.... thanks again for those who helped me the most: Boosted2.0, Blue Bomber, Lormax, Dave Draper, fusi0n, Matt @ MWR and of course Steve @ East Coast Speed.

Thats right, I did do that. Glad that worked out then 
Was the price fair?
Was the price fair?Ummmm the one with the blue cap? I think it's sitting in my tool box getting dirty :gap:
The new one looks awesome BTW... I'll snap some pics of that tomorrow too

Oh, and that's: NeAl.
To be honest, I don't think lift is all that cool.... :hide:
I like being able to rev higher, but with a properly built 1zz I can do that! I like the linear power and torque delivery of the 1zz more than the 2zz, and like spike said.... it's all about the toga pump.
I'm a big fan of the underdog, and I guess I want to see just how much I can get from the 1zz without f/i.... so eventually (hopefully) you might see me with a ported/polished and fully built, high-revving head (that actually makes power above 7krpm) and a ported throttle body. Lastly I could use the PFC to tune the engine and up the limiter. I would think at that point I would be at a pretty good power level. And then.... I might go another less travled route: a supercharger.
Sure spike, here's my info:
