I got a guy who said hell put in an engine and tranny for $650 usd. Now what i need to know, what engines i have to choose from, where can i find them, and how much, and same for transmision. I was thinking of buying an engine and instead of using all the stock stuff, loading it up with some nice stuff. Keep in mind i do have the 4 cyl model . This engine that i want must be able to handle a turbo. I have $7,000 to spend. I have the 92.

since you have a 92, keep your stock tranny for now and drop in a b6t. spend the other money on a stand-alone engine management system.

7k?? id go with a 94 protege lx 1.8 DOHC BPD engine. Grab a gtx turbo manifold off corksport, bolt it on, grab there IHI converted t3 hybrid turbo, which can push 320hp. Get a couple lx trannies . Haltek e6k stand alone engine managment, HUGE FMIC, 550cc injectors, and set it for 25 psi ....throw some forged pistons and metal head gasket while your at it haha...but thats just what I would do..

get a BPT from corksport. a tranny from a protege 1.8L. you will need the flywheel driveshafts, and clutch from the protege too. get the wiring harness and ecu from corksport too. you will have plenty of $$$ left over to spend.

650? I think thats expensive kinda, does he include install of ECU? I know guy he does all that for $350

Change of plans, I let my friend take my car out, he burnt the clutch. Now my car is in the shop $620 parts, labor, towing. Now that i have a new clutch is there an engine worth buying that would work with the original 1.6L tranny?
