If you want more power its cheaper to sell up and buy a turbo+richmod

I like my black es too much, my dad had the same car when i was in school (same colour) and when i found this one i fell in love. i have found a turbo local to me the owner won't sell. it was her husbands who died ten years ago and the car hasn't moved since but she won't sell caus its a "tribute to him" as she says. haven't seen many others round my way. i can even thought about swapping the engine.

well, in the end, it is not that bad at all, you can find very good howto posts about it on the forum. But lets take a quick look what will you need:
So, your car is a '90 1.7. So, a B18FT complete engine with all the related stuffs, like gearbox, clutch, both cable looms (with the two ecu), intercooler, radiator, fuelpump, starter motor, aux.waterpump, complete exhaust system, cem, speedo, a garage with good equipment.. and so on... suddenly these popped to my mind. but there could be lot more, like: if your car has aircon, then the donor should be as well, for instance the radiator is different, cable loom, etc...

I decided to swap engine because mine was broken, and it needed to be removed anyway, then why not a Turbo, I tought. I bought a complete car, and I still had to buy parts from somewhere else.. So, if your car runs good, it wont worth I think. Unless if the body is that flawless.
Otherwise its easier to wait, and catch a Turbo in good condition, when you will have the possibility. Just my opinion..
