Hi,I will be putting a 2jz in my S13 hatch. I was wondering how 600-800rwhp will hold up on this older model car. Not to mention how light the car is.

What are some modifications I should do to ensure that my car won't break at 150mph? I'm assuming a nice roll cage would help stability. I'm also assuming a large and functional rear spoiler would be needed to keep the weight on the back wheels. What else would I be missing besides suspension?

(Trust me there is no thread about this. I've searched.)

roll cage and other braces will keep the chassis from twisting too much with hard acceleration. Aftermarket axles will keep the old stock ones from snapping under heavy load as well.
