keep in mind ur car isn't gonna be breaking any quarter mile records any time soon....it wasn't designed for that purpose....try looking in the camry section to see what others have done to their cars for some added power......

you can get a rippmods S/C or a burien turbo kit, both are pretty expensive, but a hell of a lot easier than an engine swap.

Sadly, but luckily I crashed my i4 and now I got a v6. Like the others said, if your not willing to kick out the cash, then don't even think about it.

i heard putting a turbo in my car will likely cause the engine to blow . . . would it make more financial sense to do a v6 engine swap (would i need the transmission too?)

i recently heard about the 1mz-fe engine, is it possible to use that, but praise of that was followed by complaints about oil sludge

money is no matter, i just want my car goin fast

HELP!
