Kl-ZE V6 , 1.8 V6, 1.8 GT-X and GT-R, With more work you could put in a 2.0 Zetec. But why? the 1.8 Gt motor you have now in a very good motor?

Both the GTX 180 hp and GTR ~210 hp use the regular 1.8 tranny.
You should look into just turboing the motor you have now, should have no problem with 180 hp. (with the correct managment)
