hey
firstly to me it seems like theres four different engine mods u can do

1.161 head work, lumpy cam, weber and extractors
2. g200 with above work and 161 head
3.2.6 efi turbo
4. ca18det, fj20, 13b, 12aturb ect

the prices really vary so you really need to have a round figure to work with.

the spoiler is probably a cdt spoiler maybe ask your local autobahn otherwise a bodykit shop maybe

these are realistic 1/4 mile times, that is the car will still be practical and reliable.
161- 16's
g200- 15-16's
rodeo- 15's
turbo's will make life alot easier and probabally take a second off each time.
SR20, FJ20 etc are good 4 quicker, like low 14's.

obviously u can go a LOT quicker if you want, but reliability will suffer.

ithink for about $7000 you can get about 250hp from a 2 litre
