I have a 1995 kia sephia ls 1.6 liter SOHC. I would like to know if there is an engine that wouls fit in my car that i can turbocharge. And also i wanted to convert my auto to a manuel when i get a new engine. How hard would that be as well.

hey dude I got your e-mail. Not sure about SOHC but if you find a DOHC it will fit with no mods. I will e-mail you rit now on the rest of the info. (I don't think everyone needs to know) hehe

I have a RS with DOHC 1.8L and I'm thinking of doing some mods. What will give the most bang for the buck? what would be the first thing to do?

1.8 that came in other sephias. it is a mazda bp05. or by bpt. stock turbo from mazda puts you at 204hp.

Been doing some research. The first thing I need to do is rebuild engine. Enlargeing the bore from 83mm to 85mm. The stock motor likely will not be able to handle the increased horse power. I can get a performance kit from importperformanceparts.net that has every thing but connecting rods for $1000. Then I can throw on a turbo. But that can cause problems if there is no intercooler or other needed parts.
BTW: you can spend up to $1000 each for a connecting rod. but you need it if your gonna have a 700hp motor
