what year model car do you have??

how much are you willing to spend??

you can swap your 2.0l for a 3.0l v6 or you can swap your current engine for a 3sgte from a sw20 mr2 or you can go the way of forced industion on your current engine.

depending on your budget and how much power you want to gain you can do either of the above mentioned.

Yeah, an engine swap isn't just a simple swap... you're talking about going from a 4cyl to a v6... you're looking at some major $$ because you've gotta upgrade the tranny, flywheel, exhaust... just about your whole drivetrain. Going from a 4cyl to a more customizable 4cyl, which Aussie Ed has mentioned, is a MUCH more cost-effective solution, and then just dropping the rest of your money on a good turbo, FMIC, SAFC, etc. You can get more gains from a modded 4cyl, than a stock 3.0. On top of that, its easier to mod the 4cyl Camry /Solara engines because they aren't as compacted inside the engine bay (ie. 1MZ-FE). Lots of room to work.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.
