Q: I am wondering what kind of engine I should swap out

asked by on July 05, 2017

I am really wanting to put around 600 horsepower into my BRZ but I am kind of on a budget. I was wondering what engine swap would be the best to get more horses or which one I can add more upgrades to get more horsepower. I am kind of debating but I don't know which way would be easier.

My car has 20000 miles.
My car has a manual transmission.
