Re: could this work!?!

What's 'not a lot of money' vs 'a lot of money'

Again, it depends on your know-how and level of expertise. You could build a 500hp (or 500whp?) 4G63 for $5k pretty easily, whereas your vr4 swap would take who knows how much just to complete, then turbos, AEM EMS (no real cheap tuning solution for that platform, another drawback), turbos, intercoolers, exhaust, and all custom fab work b/c of the swap, oops you just spent another $10k!

Go buy a FMIC ($500-1000), Evo3 16g ($500), 1000cc injectors ($300), walbro fuel pump ($75), exhaust ($500-800), and DSMLink ($500), go see shane@DB Performance and voila, you have an insane fun setup(seriously!) and nearly the oh-so-coveted 500hp you are after. $3k total investment on top of your GS-T you have listed in your profile.

Spend the rest of the money from your swap on strippers and blow in vegas, savings, and a fund for when parts break on the DSM.
