98 626 engine swap

[Alfrock]

Does anyone know what I can put in my 98 626 as far as an engine swap goes. I'm looking for maximum power here. A V8 if possible. Does anyone know? Please help!

you could swap in a v6 out of a 98 plus but you will have to swap everything over

I thought of that but i'm really hoping for more power then that.

Um, suggestion - take the motor youve got now, rip it out.. put in a jap spec version - trust me, It satisfys enough.. then take the motor you have sitting around, put a dual stage turbo on it.. along with some new timing, cam gears fly wheel , perhaps a manual tranny..

thanks for the advice. I'd already decided that i'm going to drop in a 200hp JDM V6. Since I've already got a manual tranny then I can throw on a new intake and exhaust and maybe a high performance chip and get more then enough power.

205 hp Hope you get the right engine Do your homework first on what the differences are between the KL - ZE and the KL -Z0 [the first being the jdm engine the second being the North American model]

sounds cool. i alwaya wondered what motor you could drop in that thing cuz i was thinking about getting one. but since i couldn't find any definite stats i defaulted and bought a civic...... do like the 626s though
