Hybrids

Part Swap:

 You just find the part you want to swap out - say that Integra's standard Integra stage 3 turbo - then hit F5 to change the part. Up will pop a menu showing all the available parts in the game for that particular section - in this case all the stage 1, 2, 3 and 4 turbos in the game:

Find the one you want to add - in this case I've gone for the stage 4 turbo from the R390 Road Car, which provides a greater power increase than any other power part in the entire game (except the Suzuki Alto stage 3 turbo, but who on earth wants an Alto turbo in their engine?). Hit select, and, lo and behold, there is your Stage 4 R390 Turbo on your Integra Type-R. This car will now probably produce about 600-700hp now. Scary:

Now that took about 20 seconds. You can change any part in the game at all - and even add NA stage 3 and Turbo stage 4 at the same time to a car. This means you can add about 6 times the power to any car.

Be imaginative with your parts - you can add F1 tyres to pretty much anything (looks good on an Impreza...), you can add on triple plate clutches and LSD systems from any car in the game, or keep it in-house. Personally, if I'm making a Mazda hybrid, I stick on the parts from the 787B and RX-7 in preference, but you don't have to.
