yes i know that the brakes arent as self sufficient to handle a lot of hp. but with that being the case. i mean its a daily driving car. i just want to when that random evo rolls up or something to do a quick burst to see who is faster. no super intese racing will be done.

If you must stay with the n/a, it's probably easier (not necessarily cheaper) to swap the engine with a 2jz-gte. That said, a 2jz-gte makes 320hp (400hp bpu'd) - not 500hp.
i know that the 2jz-gte makes 320. what im wondering is if it be cheaper on my self to either switch to the TT and upgrade from there to a good 500hp. because i know that a N/A can get to 500hp. i guess im trying to say that like with any other small time tuner car like eclipses they can with a turbo reach a good 300-400hp.

and with that being the case. what are somethings that i'll need to do so that i can make that small bit come true. like you mentioned the suspension and the ignition. why would i need to replace those? and if you or anyone else knows. what would i need to replace right away to see decent horsepower increase with 5g to spend
