1982 Tercel swap

[TylerBall]

Hi, I have a 1982 Tercel. The old motor was swapped with a 1.3l 2A engine... NO POWER.
I was wondering if anyone knoews what options I might have to get some power out of this car! I am willing to swap the engine and tranny.. Or mod the hell out of what I have already... so if anyone could help me out... that would be great..
Thanks

These cars don't have much power to begin with so if you have around 95-100hp that is normal. That 1.3 is that the turbo one?

They sell the 1.3 turbo MOTORS on ebay but not just a turbo.

I think my tercel has the biggest motor they had the 1.5 dohc, but i do not know if it will fit in your car. I know they sell a turbo for mine also.
