engine swap.

I'm thinking of doing an engine swap. I was thinking about an r34 engine and trans...but I don't know much about cars. How can I even begin looking for engines that will fit my car. I want to swap engine for more power...around 300 to 350 or so.

In your other thread, you say you don't want to spend 1000s...yet here you are talking about an R34 engine and transmission swap...

Our cars are FWD. R34 engine is set up for RWD. Installing a R34 engine and transmission will cost you an arm and a leg. Not gonna happen.

Consider swapping in FWD VQ35 engine. Search around the board, tons of info on the subject.

If he wants around 300-350 he will either need to go FI, spray, or maybe a 2009 swap.

Good luck OP.

Please stop blowing up the forums wanting more power when you don't know anything about your car
