Don’t bother. Simply sell your car and purchase the turbo version or V6 of car in its place. The most modded NA engine will never approach the power nor reliability of a stock turbo engine or V6. Also by the time you pay for all the mods it may match exceed the price of buying/selling into what you should have gotten in the first place. The above statements are true if more power is what you mean by modifying. ---

If you want a faster car, buy a faster car. You will waste an enormous amount of money trying to modify this car, and you might end up with something that won’t pass the local emissions/smog test. In the long run it’s much less expensive to buy a more powerful vehicle than to try to modify one to be faster or more powerful. If you want power and/or speed, buy it. Don’t think you can create it yourself. You’ll just end up wasting your money. Lots of it. Don’t do it.
