Yea I know but 88 HP is not enough...
And I really feel like doing this custom stuff.<p>So u mean that I will have to do all the pipes and cooling system and headers too...
How much do u think it will cost if I will pay someone to do it for me???

If you pay a shop to do it(which I recommend since it seems like you have no idea where to even begin) would probably cost you around $3000 or so including all the stuff.

They will know what you need and where to get it and how to do everything.<p>Otherwise-- like the previous guy said-- search the UBB or do your own research. That is really a broad topic that has been answered a million times before.<p> I have a SOHC like you-- and it would be cheaper just to do a complete engine swap for the BPT. You will get more power for less money. <p>If you still want to turbo the crappy SOHC ( and do it right)-- then you will have to re-build the entire motor with new EVERYTHING. Its not worth it. <p> I am not treating you like an idiot or talking down to you-- but its really not worth all the $$ it would take to make the SOHC into a good Turbo engine. I hate to see a fellow MX-er waste money on things like that. <p>

ow thats my friend did some crap to my profile.
Yea I wish I had V6, so u said Kl-ZE is the best way to go.
I read some stuff about swaping but its too much work, honda swapign is so much easyer u can find all the products online and swap the whole engine in like 2 days (or one day if u dont need to do the electric stuff)
I am sure thats my second car will be honda civic cuz I love upgrading and Mx-3 is almost unupgradable. I have this car cuz I bought if from my friend for 150$ and it got 230000, I checked it for the price on cars.com and it said that it cost -750$...
So I am just driving it for now and waiting for the engine to die...<p>So that my story....

the bpt swap is a direct swap(that's what i understand anyways). i heard the 6 cyl swap into a 4 cyl car sucks so i wouldn't do that.

for a 4cyl BPT is the best way to go, like they said its a direct swap and if you tried to go KLZE you would be replacing alot more parts

Actually the B6T is the direct swap. You'll have to swap over other parts for the BPT but still worth the cash in my opinion. There are a few people on the board that have the BPT, and some that have the B6T. I would reasearch turbo's before trying to adapt it to our car.
