The early imported piazzas had the 2 litre NA twincam.. I'm pretty sure. However the turbo motor is SOHC only I think.
A DOHC motor will set u back around $800-$1000 for a good one and you also need injection setup, computer, loom etc. |

You will be spending well into 3-4 k by the time you have all the injection and computer sorted out.
Then theres the front brake upgrade.
That figure was only on the motor itself, even then you may need to rebuild it or whatever. |

| Okay, no the 4Z series doesn't have a twin cam version (unless someone knows otherwise?), FWIW, if you are spending 12k and want to stick to an isuzu donk, turbo a 4ZE1, an extra 33% capacity can't hurt. |

| Close, but not quite, piazza's had two litre engines that were double overhead cam and piazza's had two litre engines that were turbocharged, G200w and 4ZC1-T respectively. I am unaware (but again, feel free to correct me) of a twink, snail, milk & juice motor in a piazza. |

| Plus gearbox, plus wiring, plus sensors, plus computer, need to think about intercooling and radiators, fuel lines, fuel pumps, fuel filler neck, engine mounts, gearbox mounts, tailshaft, speedo drive, clutch actuation, new exhaust, possibly a brake upgrade depending on what your engineer wants, engineering cost, insurance and bobs your uncle. |
