Engine swap that will improve the car in a balanced way?
I know the FA20 has low center of gravity and is light with its aluminum build but I feel like it would a waste to spend money on it. Looking for a swap that doesn't add weight, low center of gravity, more power potential like a v6 or v8 which will also sound much better I really like the 2jz swap but it's iron build adds weight and I don't want to unbalance the car, and the LS swaps look pretty sick but not sure how it changes the car. But as you can tell I don't know much about swaps got my first tuner car and Manuel with my frs a month ago so still learning.
Thanks |
