I have had a stage 2 WRX for a while now, it's a great all around car and it does nice in the harsh winters around here (PA) but everyone and their brother is getting Subarus and I am getting sick of hearing everyone go on and on about how they're the greatest cars ever made and how fast they are.

I've wanted a 240 since I was about 12-13 years old and I have recently gotten my career path set and am going to have some money to spend. Im a big fan of the Kouki and Strawberry Face 240s and am thinking about tackling one as a project. I'm shooting for 400whp, ive read up on the engines a good bit and was wondering what your guys thoughts are on the engine choice to get me there?

The RB25 engine is probably a good choice, and I would really love a 2JZ swap. I'm sure some of you hardcore nissan fans don't like that idea, but the 2JZ is a great motor from what i've read and seen, and it would leave me with room for expansion.

With either engine I should not need to get into internals right? Turbo, injectors, fuel supply, IC, intake, exhaust, and engine management should get me there... I think. Are there any guys out there who have gotten 400whp in their 240? and how have you done it? It would be nice to smoke all the kids around here who think their 250hp cars are the fastest shit to hit the streets.
