I was wondering if it is possible to get a little over 400 hp out a 3sgte with $10,000 including the engine swap. also should you get the cylinders bored with oversized pistions to get more power?

you will need the engine, FMIC, mr2 tranny with lsd, clutch, fuel system to support 500hp(dont want to cut it close with fueling), fuel, spark and boost control, turbo upgrade, full exhaust, water injection and more than likely more things.

idk if you can do it for $10k with tuning and labor and misc crap that you will need during the swap.

thats also not including internal engine repair/modding. sure, the stock parts can take 400hp but thats right at the limit, and when you run right at the limit, you have an unreliable car.
