Since you going to pull ur motor out anyways. Get some internals done. Like the Headgasket or if you got some more money, go for forged stuff. (warning, forged stuff is not cheap, prepare to pay 3-4g just for the parts) That will make ur engine bullet proof thou... then anytime in the future when you have even more money, just turbo it. With a good rebuild it can handle 400hp easily. Oh it's also a good idea to get another ka24de for 200-300 and just rebuild that and once u done, just swap the rebuilt engine in. You can either keep ur old KA for spare parts or sell it. You won't have to lose ur car for that long, etc...

PS: if you have ur engine out, it's wise to change clutch, etc at the same time. Those costs a lot in labor to do.
