Same block. The elise's variant of that engine's relatively tuned and with new cams, I think...

You are correct. I think it makes about 10-15 more hp.

I agree. Supposedly the bottom end of that Kawasaki block will grenade shortly before 250hp... so as far as beefing it up is concerned, it's limited. But for a female-driven Celica, it's perfect.
