    Default 2002 VY Executive engine upgrades?????

    Hey guys, I have finally had enough of the stockyness of my engine, so, do I.... A; buy a engine from a VY clubsprot and do a simple swap? or B; upgrade it with a turbo or supercharger? and or C; do all forged internals, exhaust, air intake and re-mapping?

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

    All of your ideas are going to come at a price

    A: Engine Swap - a Short list your going to need to swap
    Crossmember
    Engine
    Wiring Harness
    Computer
    Shocks/Springs
    Diff
    Transmission
    and get your new v8 ECU Synced to your old BCM

    any Bolt on Supercharger or Turbo is going to be an expensive procedure with -
    Remapping the computer to take boost
    reinforcing the motor
    Exhaust
    intake
    Intercooler Piping

    and the 3rd option, no point of making forged internals unless your going to make it work harder (Cam or Boost)

    What is your budget?
    VT V6 fitted with DMS gold 40mm coilovers, Whiteline adjustable swaybars & strut brace, 330mm AP racing brakes, Rebuilt 3.45:1 LSD and a Powerdyne supercharger

    could just do the bright thing, sell you're car and use the money you we're going to use to do work to you're car on just buying a vx/vu/vy ss, they're cheap as chips now...

    Step 1 - Use money on selling car and buy something with two more cylinders

    buy two 4 cylinder corollas?? lol
    but yeah v8 would probably be cheapest in terms of power for money... maybe not as much fun as modding your car but then you can always mod the 8
