Toyota MR2 Message Board - View Single Post - Most bang per engine weight and ease of installation?

Hello,

I currently drive a 94 MR2 (NA) and am looking into trading it for a MkI.
I've been toying with ideas for a swap someday in the future, but didn't want anything that would add too much weight or disrupt the handling, as well as something that's not overly difficult to install. What would you recommend for giving the most hp/torque gain for it's size? From glancing through here and elsewhere a bit, I gather the most common swaps are 4A-GZE, the 20 valve, 2ZZ-GE, 3S-GE, 3S-GTE, and various V6's, and that the first few would best fit this criteria.

Also, 1. would the typical turbo put on a 4A-GZE be more or less heavy than the stock supercharger?, 2. Do many people ever boost a 20v? and 3. would a supercharger/turbo added to a 2ZZ, as in the Lotus Elise/Exige SC, fit easily?

Thank you very much,
Alex
