randomly looking through the net at other engine types and thinking about what i would need to consider if i want to do an engine change to something more powerful.

i have a CAB with the ABC engine and want to do a swapout for something with more grunt.

so, with that in mind does anyone have any suggestion or even recommendations about an engine change? whether its going to a proper specialists and getting a new engine which of course all electronics would have to be uprated too ECU, fuse/relays etc

or should i just keep my fingers crossed that an RS2 engine pops out of nowhere and consider this?

i know i will need to upgrade brakes also, but with weight distribution to think of as well would a heavier engine just throw the car off and not be as fun to drive afterwards?
