...so let me know if I'm reading this right: you want 500hp to speed you up really quickly, but you don't really care if you can quickly and reliably slow you and your car down afterwards?

and with that being the case. what are somethings that i'll need to do so that i can make that small bit come true. like you mentioned the suspension and the ignition. why would i need to replace those? and if you or anyone else knows. what would i need to replace right away to see decent horsepower increase with 5g to spend

I already said it's easier to do the 2jz-gte swap, and cheaper to do the single turbo upgrade to your 2jz-ge.

By the way, how do you "know that an N/A can get to 500hp"? Are you 100% sure your reference vehicle didn't have an upgraded ignition?

Also keep in mind that EVOs and Eclipses are much lighter cars than the mkiv (jza80) chassis. If you want an mkiv to have the advantage, you'll need to make enough additional horsepower to compensate for the weight difference.

Better suspension will help you turn corners better. The mkiv's heavier weight is also a disadvantage in cornering, unless you have the hp, suspension, and tire to overcome it.
