It's illegal to have a car without a catalictic converter.

Depends on what state your in. Also how old your vehicle is.
But seriously, an aspire? Is this a joke or something?
Turbo????? HAHAHA
If you make the thing any faster it with be a deathbox, it practically already is.

best way to go about is to see if you can swap a zetec in there.....

forget about the mazda engines see if you can get a zetec....a 2.0 out of a focus would be best....it is a very good engine and it has plenty of aftermarket....I can give you links to get hunderts of horses out of it....very seriously.....

LOL
90 isn't fast it only seems that fast because you're in such a small car.
Anyway go with Neutrino on this one, they already make SC for that engine, they will probably come out with turbos soon. Unless they already have and I don't know about it.

yeah they have plenty of aftermarket for the zetec....several turbo kits plus heads and strenghtened internals.....he can get parts to reach ~400 and still pass emissions....


the best stuff are esslinger parts...especially their stage 2 head or the titanium rods.....mmmm yummy


or if you really want some hot stuff you can get cosswoth stuff from england.....they mod the zetec or its duratec variant all the time....one example is the focus rs...

true about the looks but those zetecs are good engines...they are actually developed by the european division in england with a lot of cosworth input.....they react very good to FI

I drove my uncles focus ZTS, auto. It was pretty quick, especially for an auot but you have to rev the hell out of them.

Absolutely, honda is the worst at torque. Good at HP though, that must be why they try to keep their cars so light.
