How about sticking a Supercharger in there instead? I have just been watching Chop Shop and they boosted a 163bhp engine up to 292bhp with a tiny supercharger.

They originally estimated 250bhp but tweaked it a bit later in the program to get 292bhp, see a clip here: http://www.discoverychannel.co.uk/video/chop-shop-supercharger/

i think the people who have the 250hp Mr2 will be happy with the 300-350 they can extract with simple exhaust, chip, and fuel modifications...

I agree with GTOpower that the NA engine Mr2 owners can look into something a bit more creative like a supercharger...(transmission permiting)

or an all together engine swap...
