You're not going to get massive amounts of power out of an NA 2J. It's just a fact. Even if you wanted to do an all motor build, you're going to spend twice what it would cost to swap a GTE into it.

Not worth the time or money imo. Tryin to get power out of the na . Gte swap is your best bet don't have to go single turbo one time can stay wit stock twins go for 350whp reliable or usdm twins about 450whp but na 2j won't get you more than 200whp. And that's going into your pocket a bit

Oops I misread that, headers, exhaust, and a short ram can add up to 30-40hp to the wheels.
