I wanna do the 1.8L T4cyl (BPturbo) engine swap into my 91' LX.Its Manual.

its cost is $1875 for the engine alone.I live in Ontario and i was wondering approx. how much shipping would cost and approx. how much it would cost to get a shop to put it in for me.On www.corksport.com (http://www.corksport.com) it says it is a difficult swap.Any input on this is greatly appreciated.

Shipping could be as high as $200+. Install will be a ton, every thing need's to be swapped for a lx. You could by 2 escorts for the price of install.

Your better off buying a Escort GT and start from there to do the bpt swap.

Or just work on building power from the SOHC.
