Question about the xA engine::
#21
If you want more power then do I/H/E and top it off with a nice turbo. After that, theirs tons of other little (and big) mods you can do to go even further. All that would be much more cost efficient IMO.

2. if after 200K+ miles, your engine takes a dump... and you have to extract the engine out of the engine bay .... its an opportune time to do something like this... besides the engine cost(and related componets- air intake,etc.), not so sure what else would have to be switched over- transmission ??

the question is not in what kind of engine you can put into xA the question is in how much money you want to spend?
I can drop a porsche engine in your car for a lil over $50K + engine and tranny. And by I can, i mean it I CAN. You can put any engine in any car if you know what you are doing and have enough money to do so. It might no longer look like the car you oringinally had if you stick v12 mercedes bi-turbo engine in it, but it will have that engine and it will drive. I guarantee my work for 1 year
