I'm just bought a 93 2 door. I just wanted to know if there are any mods or upgrades for the 1.9

Nope. There is one actuall turbo setup... check out ThomasKnightTurbos.com. I dont know much about his work etc. but I know its out there. You can supercharge your car... but it would take alot of work. You would have to build everything for it.... and for the time and money you should just do a engine swap.

Is the 1.8 High output efi a good engine. I heard it was pretty strong. Like maybe 130 hp. In my opinion, that isn't bad for a four banger!

Question

I tryed looking up that site, but noting. I was looking in a tang magizine the other day and seen an ad saying that their company makes turbochargers for any engine. Is this true? If so, how would it work? Would you have to give them your engine so they can make it? That would be a big hassle!

Check out Escortracing.com there should be a link to that site. The 1.8 is stronger than the 1.9 its DOHC and puts out 127hp *comes in the GT models* It is the same 1.8 that Mazada uses in the Protege. So if you found a 1.8 that would be good. The thing about turbocharging any car is that its a waste of money. Its just a little blower that actually doesnt work... I have checked into it and from every source ive checked it doesnt do you any good... save the cash for something more useful.
