which swap or turbo?

Post by mx3optidrive »

I am getting a turbo setup and was wondering which gives the best results, turbo the 95 RS or swapping in a 1.8 sohc from a 93 protege and then putting a turbo on that? Also I was wondering if the dohc head from the 1.8 protege will bolt to the sohc engine (possibly the third choice)? Any info wolud be greatly appreciated.<p>Thanks

The thing is, I have the 1.6 DOHC in the car now and I have the 1.8 SOHC in a protege right now. I was wondering if it was better to turbo the 1.6 DOHC or the 1.8 SOHC. The second part is since I have the 1.8 SOHC is it possible to change the heads to DOHC and then turbo it because I know the 1.8DOHC would be better to turbo.
