Interesting.
However it would be more ecomodder style if I made up for the lack of power by adding an electric motor and a small batterypack.
To match the 1ZZ-FED I'd only need some 50 kW of electric power added, preferably to the rear axle.
Given that the engine is shorter, one could sandwich an electric motor in between engine and gearbox.
Or use some gearbox with an electric motor from a hybrid.
Would be nicer to be able to run purely electric without friction from the ICE.
