I disagree. The 4-cyl engine I was suggesting to the Toyota truck buddy to swap in. Here's some specs:

2.0L inline-4 (iron block)
225 HP - 255 HP stock (depending on the year you get)
Cast iron block

Want 300 HP? Takes 10 seconds and your index finger and thumb and $0. That sure costs less than making a 5.0 500HP which you said wsa $2000. :-) (okay maybe more than 10 sec if you want to do it carefully. haha)

The secret is that it is a turbo engine right off the factory production line. Top of the line intercooler, engine internals, etc. That is what it was meant to do. We have a guy in our club in Southern California that actually swapped that engine into his 1993 Toyota Camry. He just got it on the road last week and we're waiting on numbers. He's the first in North America to do the swap. I'm hoping to be #2.

I think I mentioned this before. In Japan, rally Supra TTs swap THEIR twin turbo engine out for this engine because it is that easy to turn the boost up AND it is lighter and able to achieve the same power or pretty close to the TT engine. You could say that turning up boost on a turbo is like increasing the displacement which is effectively what is happening there, but bottomline is still that you paid for a 2.0L engine and modded it to 300+ HP with no cost.

Yes they Can be a fast Car Like in some of the mags BUT IT will take a big wallet to do it I mean a 2.0 to get 300HP out of yes it will be faster then most Other Cars out there BUT a 5.0 to get 500 Is MUCH MUCH EZer to do Less money to do so also.
