Mine are about 150 but I wanted clears that much and didn't want to spend 400 ish on projectors.

126 horsepower (high rpm power)
1,794 cc (cubic centimeters or millilitre) 'displacement'
1.8 litre (how much space your engine cylinders hold (if all the pistons were at the bottom of the down stroke and you poured water in, It would take 1.8 litres to fill it up.)
In line 4 cylinder (cylinders are in a straight line as opposed to a 'V' shape with pistons firing diaonally)
The cylinders are increased from stock diameter to 79 millimeters. (the circle is wider)
The pistons move higher up and down for each stroke. (up from stock to 91.4 mm)
10 to 1 compression ratio (the pistons reduce the size of the cylinder during compression stroke to 1/10 of the size from bottom to top of the stroke)
DOHC (2 Cam shafts to control valve openings at different rpms to let air and fuel in and exhaust out)
VVT/camshaft (the cams are controlled by the engine so they let the valves up earlier or later depending on your rpms)
4 valves per cylinder (each cylinder has 4 inlet/outlet valves that open to let fuel/air in and exhaust out)
1ZZ-FE (Engine code) lots of cars are referred to by their engine code or chassis code (Fast and the Furious referred to the Supra as a 2JZE)
Multi-point fuel injection (I don't know what the multi point means but Fuel injection is when fuel is squirted directly into your cylinders as opposed to just being sprayer into the air flow of the car like the old carburetors had.)

I might be wrong on some things, but that's what I get out of it.
