The car wouldn’t be designed to have enough stopping power/ breaks will over heat for a car with 50% more horsepower than it was designed. You need to get better breaks to compensate for more horsepower
Lotus beat them to it by about 20 years >

Another commenter alluded to this but I just want to say it explicitly: Corolla and Camry engines can be pretty damn powerful depending on how they're tuned, aspirated, etc. In a "supercar" body (one that's handling-focused, lightweight, only two seats) they can haul ass. Lotus has been building their cars with Toyota engines for almost two decades.
This will probably be a disaster, but it's not necessarily because of the engine running it. >

Right! The lotus Evora runs on a bored and tuned 2gr-fe, which is a Camry engine!
Edit: more specifically, my Camry runs a lotus engine >

The 1MZ-FE in some older Camry's had a TRD designed supercharger option.
ETA: if only I could bolt it onto my Lexus... >

You could turbo any engine.  I used to frequent a first gen Lexus ES forum (these have the 1mzfe) and someone asked if you could add a turbo. And everyone was like “sure you can but it would be too expensive”.  And then some guy pops in and shows how he diy-ed it and didn’t cost an arm and a leg. >

Doing it right will almost always cost an arm and a leg. You'll get limited benefits unless you change the compression ratio, get bigger injectors, intercoolers, need a new exhaust manifold and downpipe... At minimum a few grand to really see the full benefits. Of course, you could slap a turbo on and change nothing but downpipe and modify the intake if you want to run lean and blow up your engine and get another 40-50hp until that point... But that's usually not worth the trouble. >

Generally speaking, you can increase you horse power by about 50% maximum without needing to do major engine refitting( you are probably going to need a get a better air intercooler/ radiator and most likely better breaks) >

If the car didn't have a turbo it won't have an intercooler to start lol so a "better intercooler" is kinda funny to say... Also I don't think brakes have anything to do with it.
