MARLON, check out the post "highly recomend 2.5L swap" in the V6 forum.<BR>Since you have a 4 cyl it might cost a little more for the engin swap. Id say around $3,000 can, but dont quote me. Check out A-Spec's web site in the links section.<BR>$2,000 canadian should get you a turbo installed but again dont quote me on that either. With that you shoud be pushing at least 250+ HP with a "ZE" type engine, and about 225+ HP with a regular 2.5L.<BR>A Spec is located in Toronto if you needed to know.

yes, turbos like lower compression, but if you're starting from higher HP anyway, what should it matter? if i had the money, i'd turbo a ZE over the domestic engine. why add 60hp to an engine making 160 when you can add 60 hp to one making 197hp?
