There are plenty of people who have done full 500+whp swaps for $8k-$12k. Don't be ridiculous. |

Not everyone on this forum lives in the US. 1UZ swaps are a good option in other parts of the world.

Not always the case. Improper tune can grenade a motor, and I doubt it was just the engine itself not holding the power. |

As much as I love the SR20, I would just opt for a VVTi 1JZ swap.
Stock SR motors have been proven to take around 400hp on stock block with proper tuning and stuff. The transmission is on the edge around that area as well, so most people will swap to something like a 350Z transmission. People are managing to make similar power numbers with the FA20 motor on stock internals. Instead of spending 10K+ to put a 300ish hp 20 year old motor into the car, maybe spend the same amount to build and turbo the FA and beef up the trans/rear end? Once the SR is in the car, you'll still have to make the modifications necessary to make 400hp out of it. You're looking at: injectors, headgasket, studs, manifold, turbo, additional tuning etc etc and the list goes on. So you'll probably be in another 10k afterwards to make that 400hp mark on the SR after you've spend the initial amount just go get it in. The 1JZ VVTi motor is actually about the same as the SR, though the transmission is more expensive (also MUCH stronger) and can be built up to around 500hp without even needing to crack the motor open. You could spend a similar amount of an SR swap and have a 1JZ instead. Bolt it in, add a few small bits, and you've got a car that's making over 300whp with ease. Not the most cost effective thing in the world but another option to consider. If I were going to do any engine swap on this car, it would be a VVTi 1JZ.

To build off of what @ptuning mentioned, if I were going to go with any 4 cylinder engine and didn't care so much about cost, I would go with the engine out of the recent Scion TC.
If you look up the article on Aasbo's motor, it's SUPER light. Very responsive, and VERY FAST. I imagine joining that with a solid drivetrain would be a killer choice. I know Tony Angelo did it with his FD car (not that he makes it far enough into competition to even show what it can do), and everything I've seen thus far of those engines when properly built has been pretty awesome to say the least.

if you're wanting 600+whp and are willing to spend the few extra grand for the motor sure.
350-400whp is ample for this car and easily attainable with the 1JZ. Most people look past these motors and it makes me laugh.

The 1JZ is a badass motor. I have to agree with this, I loved it in my Chaser. |

Depends where you are, but a 2JZ isn't much more expensive in the states as supply of cheap 1JZ front cuts has all but dried up. Hell, if you got 2JZ-GE/T it's even cheaper...
