I have just got a 93´ Escort LX Wagon. After about 2 months the head has cracked. I am wanting to install the J-spec 1.8L T4cyl (BPturbo) w/approx 210hp (from GTR) in the car. I can get the engine from Cork Sport for around $1900. I would like to know if I could put it with out any trouble? Would I have to get a GT trans. or could I keep the 5 speed that I have now? What be a good clutch? Would the 1.9L engine mounts work or will I have to get them from a 1.8L GT? I think that all that I would need after that is the ECU. Do you think that it would be worth the money and time? Where would I find a good intercooler and wastgate? How much boost could I get with out getting into any trouble? My other plans for the car goes as so: adjustable coillovers, high flow catback, K&N filter (maybe a custom ram air hood), entercooler, (maybe nosi), big mouth frount bumper from an accord, 17" wheels, weight reduction, rasing seats, five pionts, short through shifter, sway bars, and tower braces (frount and rear). If you think that I have left any thing out please let me know. My town is full of stangs and imports. I want to scare the hell out of themwith this sleeper. Below is a pic of the engine.
