    D1 - Engine upgrades?

    Sure that this has been asked endlessly... What engine upgrades are possible for the D1? Are there any limits for a manual transmission? I know about the HS 2.8L TVG from Brazil, but what else is there? Would going from a 4.0 to a 4.2 make a considerable difference? Thank you :)
